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.

The app I suspect is much better, the company as a whole is garbage and I wont even allow it in new vehicles that come with it.
The streaming app starts at 128kbps and up and it sounds good enough
I've encoded lots of content from home at low bitrates and it sounds nothing like what sirius sounds like. Their content sounds much better for such low bitrates.

even some of the music chanels are mono, but keep in mind most clubs are mono so it's not much different than that

Symphony hall however sounds a lot better than any FM stations
I don't listen to sirius but I always do check and see because about once or twice a year they unlock radios for free weeks or weekends

But you have to be at a dealership (can't just do it from your house). That's why I was saying if someone wanted me to sign them up for the 6 month trial I could do it (if they sent me their radio ID) tomorrow when I am near a dealership.
