The bitrate is about 64 kbps for music and 32 kbps for talk on Sirius.
The bitrate on Spotify HIFI/Tidal Masters is 320 kbps CD quality for lossless audio.
Use an app, connect a cable, and ditch the garbage audio of Sirius. (FM radio is 96 kbps)
The bitrate is probably somewhere between 24–48 kbps depending if the AAC variant is based on v1 or v2 of the HE codec. The sample rate of the played back audio is likely 32 kHz or 44.1 kHz which will yield 16–22 kHz of audio bandwidth.

In situations when you do need a credit card for use with Sirius XM I recommend you use a gift card, credit card's one time use generated virtual card number, or a PayPal key (virtual credit card number that you can change/deactivate after the first verification charge)

I only drive 10-15 minutes to and from work so it is not worth it for me anymore. My feedback
-GREAT selection of music, always Something to listen to, I would bounce between presets and usually was happy.
-Low commercial interruption - it is there but not like local radio
-VERY low quality sound files. Even cranked all the way up, never loud enough with windows down. It gets loud, but not to the point I felt it with my system. CD's and MP3 Files were much louder and crisper. Even using streaming service on phone had better sound quality. Something was missing. Highs were not high, bass was not raw and thumpy.
-I had times, not often but times, where it just stopped working. 3AM on a 12 hour drive cross states is when you need jams. Also stopped a few times in downtown areas, just went out and nothing was there.
I found an old Ipod. I have 16gb of assorted tunes that works great with my system. Sound is so much better. I don't have to crank it to 10 anymore, when I do it is so much nicer than I had with my satellite.
If I start driving more, may reconsider, it is better than local stations... You have more Genres to choose from, and if you are at home or across country you have the same stations and can listen to what you want.

Looks like nothing to do but turn on the inactive car SiriusXM radio for free listening starting today until June 8.
After that's over the free 3 months described in this thread can be activated for free listening until September 9.
I'm tempted to generate a one time use CC and give it a go. Does anyone know if it is harder to use a free service promo after redeeming that one? Thanks
