I understand your thinking about XM voice. I wouldn't buy it for the voice.

I've had it a month now and it's about the music, never even had a voice station on, in fact I locked those out. It's on 24/7 on the home stereo since we don't drive much. Jazz, classical, classic rock, disco heh, R&B, country, Sinatra, soul, Cinemagic, they had an old Miles Davis concert on last week and sometime in July they are doing a massive hit countdown across the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's stations that will take more than a week. We haven't had the TV on except for news and weather since we got it. Best 10 bucks a month I've spent for entertainment.

I don't watch TV at all. My radio gets turned on a 5 minutes at the top of the hour to catch the news. The local country stations play lots of ads with shouting deliveries aimed at the under 100 IQ set. I'm sure you've heard the car dealers yapping about how they will pay off your current car loan no matter how much you owe. How can you hope to keep up on the good current country hits in that kind of setting? I haven't been particularly pleased with the country music offering on XM either. None of my XM gear is installed into the car yet. It's not too late to peddle it to someone who might actually enjoy it.
