Daddyjt 8,606 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) This is a pretty cool offer from Sirius XM while we’re all sequestered - 3 months free, including on line streaming, which means you don’t even need an XM radio - just internet. https://www.siriusxm.com/sxm-tryfree Edited April 1, 2020 by Daddyjt 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo 1,401 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @Daddyjt Nice! Been a subscriber for years here, but nice to hear they've extended the trial period out to three months for folks to give it a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packratt 369 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Just be aware they will annoy the crap out of you as the expiration approaches and beyond. The trial that came with my truck just expired. I was getting at least 1 phone call and multiple emails a day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that with much of the campaign mail that I got leading up to the primaries. I kinda wish I hadn't been quite so vigorous though. Those mailings would have made very satisfying toilet paper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packratt 369 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Unless it says first class or return service requested it will not be returned to sender. It will be treated as undeliverable bulk business mail. Your letter carrier is hauling enough on his back. He doesn't need to take out your trash as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lazy so-and-so continuously lied about loose dogs in the neighborhood to the point where we all had to put up roadside mailboxes so she wouldn't have to walk her fat ass anymore. She drives one of the little white trucks. This is on a street so narrow that now it's impossible for two cars to meet on the street without one waiting for the other to pass a mailbox. Everyone on the street has to reset their mailboxes at least once per year because someone knocked one over. The USPS can go make themselves pregnant. Sorry Bryan, this ain't pointed at you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weitrhino 1,425 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've had XM/Sirius in 2 vehicles and frankly I though it sounded awful. They never shut it off after the trial period in the second vehicle although I couldn't stand hearing it. Perhaps that's different for other vehicle owner's who may enjoy it but I didn't even listen when it was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only use it in my home at low volumes for background music, if at all. In my car it bothers me a little but I can deal with it due to the fact that the stalk stereo is not exactly what I would call resolving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packratt 369 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The way I look at it is I already have thousands of hours of music. Why am I going to pay them to play the same hundred songs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyjt 8,606 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 For the love of god, I get it. I too have 10’s of thousands of FLAC files, but you know what? They sound like “poo” compared to SACD and DVDA. Therefore, I should never listen to FLAC, CD or Redbook ever again? Really? I’ll tell you something else - I have some really nice gear, and some outstanding recordings, and I enjoy my critical listening sessions. However, the vast majority of my listening? Ear buds. Yup, that’s right - working in the yard, out for a walk or hike, or even working in the basement/garage - earbuds and mp3 or XM. You see, I’d rather have my music and/or talk shows with me doing these activities at maybe a lesser quality, than stick my nose in the air and berate anything short of an “audiophile” quality experience. this thread was meant to highlight a nice offer in a crazy time. If you’re not interested, stay on your high horse and ride on by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
