When tech-savvy folks can download any music or recording for free via torrents, and burn them to CD or play via mp3 gizmos, it's hard to see their business model working.

Not everbody uses sat radio for music. 75% of my listening is news or sports.

I still say there is nothing better than driving down the road with the windows down and hearing a song you haven't heard in ages come on the radio (in this case now - satellite). No matter how many songs you put on an mp3 or onto a CD that's burned you still pick them or will hear them played again. I'd miss the laugh or smile that came to my face when the first few notes of a song I haven't heard in ages takes me back to a story or event I forgot about growing up (its not a long time I'm only 34).

Then I turn up the volume, sing along as loud as I can, shake my head and hope I'll hear it again sometime down the road. No burned CD or mp3 that I make can do that.
