I would agree that the music seems to be pretty high quality. Specifically, there are some songs that get into the pretty low bass frequencies that seem to demonstrate pretty decent range for sound quality. Again, it might make a difference on which stations you are listening to, but the sound is pretty decent. We haven’t had CD players in the vehicles for a few years now, but I guess I never noticed any sound degradation when listening to the same song on CD vs it coming from XM.
Since we cover so much geography, even if there was a little sound quality dropoff to use XM, I think overall it is still a far more consistent sound quality than moving in and out of good FM coverage areas, and definitely way better to have all your music with you whereever you are versus searching for the FM channel that provides the type of music you are looking for. That, plus the no commercials (except Fox News ☹) makes it pretty easy to like. The cost is not insignificant though and that is what makes it tougher to get on board.

Anyone else who’s had experience with XM: does it always sound like it’s compressed, digital and low fidelity? Why would anyone pay a subscription for this when I get high-fidelity FM free? -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Adair Winter VP, Network Operations / Co-Owner Amarillo Wireless | 806.316.5071 C: 806.231.7180 http://www.amarillowireless.net<http://www.amarillowireless.net/> [https://docs.google.com/a/amarillowireless.net/uc?id=0B-KeaiwIRBHEQl9leFFvVjZuWmc&export=download]<http://www.amarillowireless.net> -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- Adair Winter VP, Network Operations / Co-Owner Amarillo Wireless | 806.316.5071 C: 806.231.7180 http://www.amarillowireless.net<http://www.amarillowireless.net/> [https://docs.google.com/a/amarillowireless.net/uc?id=0B-KeaiwIRBHEQl9leFFvVjZuWmc&export=download]<http://www.amarillowireless.net> -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
