My main objection to any kind of this type of radio is not knowing what's being played. I would like to know how to find out who the artists are and what the song titles. Drives me nuts. - Original Message - From: Larry N [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List

It's just regular commercial radio with a few more stations thrown in. Eventually it will be there in some form but it won't be this form. If you are disappointed in regular broadcast radio then just think of this as what there is now with better sound oh yea, and for sighted people more

Gary, There is nothing wrong with internet radio, as long as the stream is, for the most part free from break-up. Lots of choice out there, as most major broadcasters have an internet stream, as an alternative way to promote their station around the globe. . . . - Original Message -

If I understand correctly, you don't necessarily have to purchase the hardware. Especially if your job allows workers to visit any site, you can listen to sirius online via their player. I'm almost certain it's accessible, because a blind person on one of these lists utilizes the Sirius player
