Satellite Radio Information

Satellite Radio Links

Both XM and Sirius allow subscribers to listen online. However, hundreds of U.S. and foreign over-the-air radio stations simulcast over the Internet. You can listen to most of them without paying a fee or purchasing software. Many are commercial-free. Additionally, you'll find an ever-increasing selection of Internet-only virtual radio stations and thousands of podcasts. You can also subscribe to Major League Baseball over the Internet. With a little investigation, you can assemble your own list of favorite (and free) Internet radio sites.

Portable satellite radio receivers also compete with portable MP3 players. Several reviewers comment that satellite radio offers two advantages over MP3 players -- the element of surprise and the opportunity to discover songs and artists you haven't already heard. However, MP3 players are much, much smaller and far less expensive than portable satellite players. See our separate report on MP3 players for more information.
