I really have an issue with paying for Radio as well.I remember the days when regular FM radio was the bomb diggity  hahahhahha. Its bad enough we have to pay to get decent T.V. these days. |
Well in that case if you don't like to steal music you may consider the option of purchasing an XM or a Sirius reciever. Both companies at some time had done work with MAC to make 20/40/60/80GB hard drive recievers to store the newest music on. These recievers should be out by Christmas this year, I believe that XM is releasing there models before Sirius. It's not stealing music either since you would be a subscriber to either company.

That is only a true statement if sirius owners do not purchase the FM module for $20. Same goes for XM owners that do not purchase there FM component for $30. If you go to the
www.sirius.com website, or
www.xmradio.com website, you can listen to all the stations in a choppy broken down bitstream which sounds nothing as clear as it does using the actual recievers.
Both XM and sirius use the same technology from Delphi electronics, which means both satellite systems use the same digital compression HI-FI technology.
