If you have an iPhone and you want the cheap alternative to that BS Sirius XM app, then get the app called Pocket Radio. The app has a one time $10 fee. After that you can sign in and select Sirius. Sign in once to your Sirius account and you can listen to Howard 100 and 101. Works great on Edge network (or 3G or wireless) and it doesn’t cost an extra $3 a month.

Enjoy!

You super lame freeloaders! Having a platform with actual personalities is not FREE! You’re so used to stealing music you can’t recognize a good deal when you see it. $36 a yr and youre whinning like a bunch of sissies! With all
those other services, you are still limit
by your own knowledge of music. Therefore, discovering something at the turn
of a dial is not as easily done on streaming services without the assistance of a personality to lead you! Go play in traffic you lames!!!!

I’d have to agree with the author on this one. As an original subscriber to XM I can listen online for free through a browser but I have to pay $2.99 a month through their app. LAME. I promptly deleted the app and won’t renew my service unless something drastically changes.

Mr McCracken:

There are 11 million plus downloaders (in the first 24 hours) that would certainly disagree with you. And you know what…they apparently didn’t have any problem downloading the new application software. Blackberry will be the next frontier.

Also, if there is any radio technology that’s going to go the way of the dinosaur…it is terrestrial radio. They’re losing listeners by the millions with revenues dropping like a rock. And all the NAB frontmen & schills can’t do a thing about it.

It’s really amazing what a small mind you have. That is not seeing what a huge leap forward in technology this truly is. Never in history have you had so much content available to you on such a small device. Every thing from music, to talk shows to news you seem to missed it all. Why the other platforms do have music that is all they have. SIRI/XM has so much more to offer even to those that only have an ipod that they never had before this app. I can only wonder why you would not want to talk about the so many positive things that are coming our way as consumers from the doors of sirusxm. You sir are a DA

Difficult sign-up even if you ALREADY subscribe to their service, too expensive, crippled content, AND a two-bit interface? They better fix every single one of those flaws ASAP or else they’re done for (IMO).

I imagine if they had done this right the first time, they might have INCREASED their customer base (something they sorely need to do).
