Default XM radio.

I suppose Dana means:



Winamp Winamp Library Online Services AOL Radio with XM



By "best format," do you mean the programming?



I hope you don't mean the stream's digital format is the best you've ever
heard. At 16k bits-per-second (bps) -- providing 2 channels at 8k bps
each -- I find the sound is barely tolerable for more than a few seconds. I
find that awful sound swamps good programming.



It's difficult for me to understand how you could have avoided mentioning
the awful sound while reporting the "best format" you've ever heard. Do you
have a vested interest in giving this "service" an unrealistically positive
review?



There are a couple of Classical music XM channels I'd be happy to find
streaming on the internet. But by sending them with such a slow stream,
they get distorted to death -- which ruins the music. Please tell your boss
I said so. Thanks.
