There is definitely a difference between the receivers that hook directly into your stereo, as opposed to the ones that you tune your FM radio dial to receive the XM radio. I would base it on a comparison of audio tapes to CD's. That's how much difference there is between those two, at least to me. ---------------- Cutting Edge Solutions is here to assist with assistive technology needs.

Subject: Re: quality of xm radio was Re: The Minx I've heard some people say that the quality of XM radio is better than anything on the internet, but I really couldn't say, as I don't have it. I haven't as yet gotten an fm transmitter, and I haven't gotten my computer hooked up to my home stereo, but I'm sure that even with internet radio, if I could hear it through my Infinity speakers, I'm sure that the sound would be even much better! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Skarstad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

If you're using a crappy pare of speakers, then it'll show. I have a XM MyFi and really love the quality on my home stereo unit, so everyone's ears are different.
