Internet Radio: Audiophile or no?


I was interested in finding out whether people think Internet radio has much to offer an audiophile these days?

I would say yes. The sound quality is pretty good and the variety of music available is without equal.

I use a Squeeze Box connected to a Cal Alpha and stream both XM and Internet radio to my stereo. It's pretty much all I listen to now. It might not be quite as good sonically, but it's close enough. With the choices I have plus good radio stations pretty much going the way of the dodo, what are you going to do? It works for me!
What are the Tech Specs of XM / Sirius radio?
How do they compare with old school FM? (15Khz max)
Is there much or any degradation with XM over the likes of Direct TV or Dish Network?

Overall, I'd give 'em high marks and they are great for background music or hearing new music.
too bad wwoz new orleans is in low quality...a great station along with wbgo newark

PS i think the sound quality on pandora is pretty good
wwoz is pretty good via the Roku Soundbridge. I was very pleasantly surprised.

It never sounded very good when I used to stream it direct off their web site from a PC prior though.

It is a great station though...always one of my favs.
