Similar. Broadcast radio gets limited play time primarily due to
the excess commercials. Sirius/XM died on launch (for me) simply
because it was so unreliable. I find that the thing I listen to
most often are poscasts. I think I have about 15 or 16 of them in
my queue. There is never a shortage, the ads are minimal, and are
easy to skip. The quality is usually excellent, but I'm not
listening to (much) music.

My experience back when I had a XM receiver in

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.
We
just got a new vehicle at work that includes XM radio for some
period of time for free.
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?
