Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?

Are the radio stations on Itunes the same type of thing as XM and Sirius?

Just read a news in Stereophile.com that Krell is introducing a $4000 XM satellite tuner next year. It should be interesting.

Ljgj,

Interesting question. I'd like to know as well. My favorite iTunes station is Magnatune. It would be nice to be able to listen to them in the car too.

Holy s*%t!! That's some serious dinero. Why not try something priced a little more down to earth instead of the stratosphere. If the sound could truly be "CD quality" it might be worth the money, but I'd rather test the water with a unit say in the $1000 range. If the sound really is superb and if I could feed a digital stream to my Levinson 360s it might be a different story.

XM is not just like iTunes. The music channels are just like a regular station only the music is better. The channels are set by category/genre. There are NO COMMERCIALS. There is a DJ who comes on every hour or so to tell you what he/she just played and, occasionally, he/she will tell you where the artist you just heard could be seen live in concert that evening. There are not a lot of interuptions. You get 99% music on the music channels. You can even send an email or phone an 800 number to each seperate channel to request a song. I'm sure the audio quality is better than streaming itunes. If you are curious click on the URL I posted on one of my earlier message.
