It would either be "why do I have to pay for a bunch of stations I never
listen to" or a complaint about a la carte pricing. This is just another
reason why I put a week's worth of radio shows on my MP3 player and pay no
monthly fee above my ISP fee. Not only do I have a larger choice than XM,
but it's like a radio Tivo. My shows start when I press play, they pause
when I press pause. I can skip or replay, as necessary and all my gear is
about the size of a pack of gum. It's hard to beat free, small, and on my
schedule when equipping the truck.

I listen to XM from 3am Pacific time until 9am. There are some shows I like
to listen to. Then it's the MP3 player or just some background music. Some
afternoons I have to listen to local stations for talk shows and traffic
reports.
I like the variety of sources and I'm willing to pay for part of it.
