If you're after much new music to listen too, I think you'd be better off with Sirius. Sure its a few bucks more than XM, but you have like 60 commercial free music stations, as opposed to only 40 or so on XM. Also the sound quality is much better on Sirius. A rep from Sirius told me that their streams are 98% of full CD audio, whereas XM streams 128k MP3's. Sirius's current system can handle 300 commercial free music stations with no upgrades, and they also have plans to offer streaming video. XM is nowhere those capabilities.
