My question is. Why pay anything?
Convenience, selection, and availability.

- A number of channels with different music types and podcasts
- Integrated with my car audio system
- Dead spots limited to tunnels, underpasses, and some canyons

- MP3 player is limited to the songs I have purchased (so not really free) and the playlists I have created
- iPhone (or other) can play through my car audio and CarPlay makes it a little more integrated but still has gaps
- Even with the best cell service you will find dead spots when driving across country. There are even areas on 95 through SC and GA that are sketchy at best.

We might drop Sirius/XM when we stop driving cross country, Amazon music (or likely Spotify) is great at home.
