Plus it is free because I have the full subscription in my car. sirius is a glorified radio with a bunch of stations, whereas spotify, apple music and similar services offer access to their entire music library as if it were your own so you can listen to anything you want, whenever you want, including being able to download music for offline listening as well as playlists tuned to your personal tastes based on what you listen to, not what a dj decides. the only thing in common is that music can be heard. I know there are other free streaming music services out there, but this is working for me, as long as they stay in business. that's an important aspect of any service. |

Even satellite will drop out in many areas. Admittedly, I don't know if you can even get unlimited data anymore. |
