For years I would call threatening to cancel and I would get it for $60-$70 a year. Even at this price, it was too much for what you got. How many times you listen to music that you don’t like the song? For us, quite a bit.
I ripped thousands of cds to my home server so I can access all of these tracks from my iPhones and tablets from home.
I stream high def music to my house so I have access to millions of tracks of music. For example, I have access to every track Led Zeppelin created, or Dream Theater or Sting at my fingertips.
Then I use Roon which is a graphical user interface to access this music and my ripped cd library using my iPhones, iPads, or computers.
I use Roon ARC to access my music on my server at home as well as accessing the millions of tracks of music thru Qobuz in my cars using CarPlay so there is a graphical user interface to get access. I can also use Siri to play music.
So instead of listening to low res music on Sirius and a lot of the times you might not like, I listen to music that I pick to listen too. I can also create playlists consisting of artists or just music tracks.
If I want to explore new music, I can turn Roon radio on which asks what artist you would like to listen too and then plays like music for many hours.
If you travel around the country or run into areas where there is no cell service, my phone has 1Tb of music on it so I can listen to many days of music without streaming.
Another option is to rip music onto a hard drive or ssd and plug that drive into your usb port on your car radio/receiver and access this music using CarPlay or thru Bluetooth.
I’ll never pay for Sirius again
