Can you look up and play any song you want at any time?

Not that I'm aware of. I have XM - lots of channels, minor amount of short commercials. If you have time to organize music I'd go with an MP3 player instead. Unless you care about the news stations on the radio.

No. They're not MP3 players. They're a bunch of radio stations playing different types of music commercial free. With some of the receivers you can program in titles or artists and whenever that song or performer is on a station other than the one that you are listening to, the receiver will automatically change to that station.

XM has a relatively new line of receivers known as XM2go. The first of these receivers was called the MyFi. It's kind of like a Tivo for XM. It will allow you to record up to 5 hours of music and play it back whenever you want. The titles of the songs are also recorded and will appear on the display. When playing back the recorded content, the MyFi can be used like an MP3 player where you can choose which songs you want to listen to or skip.

However, you don't have the option of picking & choosing which songs will remain on the MyFi. When new material is recorded, the oldest stuff is automatially written over.

I have XM at home and I'm very happy with it. The main reason I got it is because they broadcast every single Major League baseball game. This is a baseball lover's dream and you even get the actual AM feed from the home city.

However Sirius is very attractive if you're interested in virtually any other sport; I believe they have NBA and NFL contracts as well as Tour de France broadcasts and of course Howard Stern in 2006. The music channels seem to be pretty similar between the two.

We have Sirius, and love it, but I am a talk radio junkie and sports fiend. Like others have said, you can't select particular songs, but there are a ton of music stations from which to choose. Although, songs tend to repeat fairly often, which can get annoying.

Sirius has a feature where you can mark a certain song as a favorite, then the radio notifies you if that song plays on a station.

XM does as well. Sirius does have almost all of the major sports, except baseball. But then again, I can't imagine listening to a football game on the radio. Radio and baseball go hand in hand for me.
