I have both Sirius and XM. I agree that the quality depends on the
streams. Classical and Jazz seem to be the highest quality. For analog
I listen to WFCR, Amherst, MA. It's NPR, Classical and Jazz. Very
lightly processed.

And how does NPR get to them? Isn't there a little bird up there chirping
digits to all the NPR affiliates?

I presume they do their music locally from CDs - but haven't the CDs been
compressed onto some automation system's hard disk...?
