to me, the easiest way of using the SiriusXM app is by adding all of the stations that you want to favorites. So my favorites is the only thing I access unless there is a new station I am looking for. And then after searching what I am looking for, I then add that one to my favorites. I do this because I have always found the screens in the app to crowded and not the easiest to navigate.
I have not investigated yet, but I wonder if the Siri addition is so you can use Siri to play a particular station through the app? If so, this would be extremely helpful, and make it so you would very rarely have to navigate the app. As far as stopping the play of something, I have not tried this yet, but how about this: 1, If you have a 14 or 15 Pro, you should be able to use the dynamic island on the face of your phone. 2, What if you just tell Siri to stop. Will she stop playing it. 3, Will the play controls work on the today screen after hitting the side button when the phone is locked? 4, If you have an Apple Watch, you should be able to stop it with the now playing screen. I normally have a now playing icon near the top of my watch screen when playing something, but if not, I can find it in the watch app switcher.
