Re: XM Adds 1.7 Million Subscribers

only a small subset of the geek/cheap/broke set will bother to download
the show, for the rest of us it is much better to listen to it live and
with no hastle

Not to "have to" what?

It is worth $11 a month to not have to search out, download, and the copy
the file(s) to the mp3 device while breaking the law in the process.

It's not much of a search. Or a download. And even we Unix people can
drag-and-drop to a USB device.


Listen when you want, and skip what you don't like?

I do this currently with my sat radio. I always leave the radio on, which
the cursor at the beginning of the stored audio. This gives me a good hour
+/- of buffer to skip past the things I do not want to hear.

That's not the same thing as having a permanent, random-access copy of
something you can listen to any or all of anytime you want. Even if I
were a subscriber, I'd download the show.
