Does anyone here have XM radio?
I got a new Dell laptop today & I listen to it through windows media player. I got a 30 day free trial with dell. I LOVE IT!!!

Great connection, no pausing & best of all all channels are commercial free.

1. We have it in our car, it came with it.
Well I should say my husband's car. So I can't really listen to it. I didn't know you could access XM through windows media player? Thanks for that info. I like the Comdey Central channel and of course Air America.

On the right side there is a link that says XM Radio. A normal suscription is only 7.95 a month.

ON EDIT: if you don't have a link in windows media player, here is there web address. http://xmro.xmradio.com/xstream/index.jsp

5. The steaming audio does not carry all of the stations.
If you want to listen to news or sports, you're out of luck. But it does have a good variety of music and the comedy channels.

I just recently bought an XM radio and I love it--I finally can listen to Randi Rhodes in the car on the way home from work! if you have a regular subscription for a radio unit ($12.95/month), you get the internet streaming audio for free.
