Sirius XM is a satellite-based radio service that provides subscribers with access to over 170 channels of digital audio. In addition to listening to live music, you can also watch news videos and get personalized recommendations. A subscription will cost you about $10 per month. But the company offers promotional deals for new subscribers.

When you sign up for a SiriusXM subscription, you will be able to hear music from the following genres: rock, classic rock, pop, country, and jazz. There are over 100 channels that are ad-free. And you can create your own ad-free station using Pandora.

Some of the channels include The Coffee House, Road Trip Radio, and Yacht Rock Radio. For those who are into live music, you can use the SiriusXM app to create a live radio station. Other channels are dedicated to comedy, such as Kevin Hart"s Laugh Out Loud Radio. You can also create a station that features only a specific artist. With a subscription, you"ll have access to all of your favorite artists.

There are two types of subscriptions offered: All Access and Select. Both provide unlimited access to all channels in the system, but with a different set of perks. Subscribers who pay for All Access have access to two Howard Stern Channels, Major League Baseball, and NFL coverage. Plus, they get to hear an exclusive podcast. Those who pay for Select have access to all of the other channels.

If you want to play your favorite songs on the go, you can also install an app on your smartphone. AT&T Mobile Music is one service that supports XM Radio, and it allows you to load your own music onto your phone. This service can be downloaded from the App Store. Another service is Napster, which lets you download and listen to music.

Regardless of which you choose, you"ll need to make sure that you can find all of the rights to any songs that you would like to listen to. If you can"t find a song or artist that you would like to listen to, you will need to contact the performing rights organization. Fortunately, the SiriusXM for Business service offers the correct licenses for public performance.

For those who are interested in a subscription, you can try a 30-day trial. Your first 30 days with the SiriusXM trial will be completely ad-free. During this time, you"ll also be able to enjoy more sports and original talk channels.

After the trial period, your subscription will automatically renew every month. While it may change in the future, your SXM subscription will always include the ad-free and commercial-free content that you signed up for.
