My experience back when I had a XM receiver in place was that the Music stations were tolerable compression, the Talk ones were good for talk. Sounded a lot like old time FM and AM quality, not the newer higher quality broadcasts one gets today with HD FM and the like.
Once I found spotify, I quit listening to the radio. I have a quite deep playlist which is set to download so it's not reliant on cell coverage (and doesn't burn cell service since it only downloads when I'm on wifi). Every car now has a bluetooth-enabled receiver so both myself and my wife just uses spotify in the car.
