REPEAT: 32 YEARS! I can choose between 100 stations, listen to music I would NEVER be exposed to and record it on a whim. But unfortunately I have to pay a monthly fee that I don't even notice. Plus I get the weather, news and comedy. And if I need to, I still have my CD player and AM/FM stations to listen to. But I haven't listened to a minute of AM or FM and I listened to about 15 minutes of one CD since installing the XM unit. Believe it or not, I would probably get bored with the same 4,000 songs on my iPod if I had one.  Thomas Johnson Durand, MI

Nice work. Plus, with XM it's live and current. I have both iPod and XM, but I use XM a LOT more, in the car and at home. About the only time I use my iPod is when I am away from my XM radio.
