Just as. FYI. If you do activate radio service, you also get free streaming as well for your phone etc. Also if you have a google nest music device or a Alexa product, you can also stream on that once you connect your Sirius account to it. For example… you can say. "Hey google play Sirius XM channel (say the number or the station name)' and it will play it. It's super good .

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.

As far as content goes I only really listen to the 103/Faction Talk for Jim & Sam, Ron Bennington, and the Bonfire, now. Most of the other shows they've canceled over the years to pay for Howard, I guess, and I find the music service is better on spotify or youtube/google music.
Cant recommend it, to be honest, but the holiday stations are nice, once-a-year. 😌
Bennington can FO the face of the Earth. He was constantly busting Fez's balls day after day which couldn't have done much for his health. Sad he died when and how he did.
Like Sirius or not, just don't pay market rates for it.
TU and Repped, Thanks OP!!
I live in the NYC area, and the local stations are crap, I cannot listen to any of them.
I just got the 3 month trial on dd's inactive radio, which is on file as inactive, but put in a different email address and different name and it said I was eligible. She listens to her own playlists but occasionally diverts to Sirius when I can get a freebie or $1 monthly trial.
Just make sure the car is on and running when you do the app thing.

Bought a new car this spring that had a free 6-mo XM period. Never even bothered activating it.
