How much data did you use? This should help: http://gizmodo.com/how-much-data-doe...-eat-up-164946 6894 Thanks. As a quick calculation, about 1 G a day. Much better off purchasing and additional tracks. perhaps a bit too quick. assuming a 160 kbit stream (good enough for listening in a car), that's ~1 megabyte/min. you'd need to be listening for ~1000 minutes per day to reach 1 gig, which is nearly 17 hours of non-stop listening. i *highly* doubt that's the case. even if you use a 320 kbit stream (and you won't notice the difference in a car), you'd still need to listen to around 8.5 hours per day to reach a gig/day. According to the link Bill provided, Pandora streams at 64 kbits. The sound quality s pretty good to my ears and I can be fussy about that. It's better than Sirius' sound quality. Thanks, I have to discuss this with Verizon. As for sound quality, between the road noise and my hearing deterioration, I cannot be as discriminating about sound as I used to be. I have an easy solution for road noise: turn it up! I like to listen to my music loud, always have. It's no surprise that I have tinnitus, fortunately it's not a bad case. Some pieces must e loud, e.g. the 1812 overture, with others, you lose the mid tone subtleties when you turn it up too loud. e.g. most violin, flute & piano concertos. And big organs. A 32' stop needs power. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Choose your tires carefully. -- Regards, Savageduck |
