I feel the pain. Everything seems to still be on auto-run over there as far as music programming is concerned. Head over to the 70s channel where daily mandatory listening includes, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, MARGARITAVILLE, DON'T FEAR THE REAPER, and THE PINA COLADA SONG. Every freakin' day! Oh...

It takes a lot of time. I have 20 presets in my vehicle. I have to get the list of all the channels, mark my favorites, and then enter them in order of my favorites or in numerical order (pending on my mindset at the time) And then, it all gets wiped when you take your vehicle for...

Gotcha. I updated my initial response to read that there is no correlation between the satellite receiver and the app. Uhm, let us know if you can change the presets to what you like using the instructions I provided. Should work.

That's not the way it works, unfortunately. There is no correlation between your car's satellite receiver and the app. Both are set up separately. HOWEVER... If you use the SiriusXM app on Carplay/Android Auto, then yes, it's all set up the way you like it because you are using the app...

Hitchhiking on Malcolm's reply... There should be no reason that you are stuck with the former owner's presets. Usually, this is the procedure for your touch-screen infotainment system: 1. Go to the SiriusXM channel you want to save 2. Once on that channel, long press any of the existing...

Happy to hear you are enjoying Dash...err...LITT. I also made many a discovery on their 70s channel that there were longer versions of songs I had never heard before. That's because SiriusXM plays these heavily edited versions in order to squeeze more music into a timeframe, it seems. Since I...

Oh..oh...oh... Thank you for reminding me! I only found out about two weeks ago that DASH RADIO has been rebranded as LITT LIVE Still commercial-free. Has a wide array of music channels including those devoted to decades. I listen to their '70s channel and on weekends (or just Saturday...

In my opinion, the DJs are a huge problem with some exceptions. The original MTV DJs on the 80s channel are a nice throwback to the era. Flash Phelps is very good on the 60s channel and his interactions there work very well. JJ Walker is a seasoned personality who comes across well on the 70s...

https://thedesk.net/news/siriusxm-layoffs-160-jobs-lost/ It seems like SiriusXM continues to lose subscribers and tighten their belts I realize I sound like a broken record, but it's the same advice I offered 15 years ago when Sirius took over XM, who had a vision to revolutionize radio...

One more thing I wanted to add... Even if you have the newest radios that get all the high channels, there are exclusive channels that you can only get through the SiriusXM Carplay/Android Auto app. That is if your plan includes streaming. So, I primarily use the satellite receiver in the...

Agree with Jeffrey. This is satellite signal, not cell. You should be fine.

Yes, that is a huge issue. I have a 2022 vehicle and I get all the channels. My prior vehicle could not. This debacle was caused by the merger when Sirius and XM had separate satellites and required two different radios. So, yes, you would have to stream through phone but so would I if I...

Hi David! I know what you meant by Sirius moving to an all-streaming format. That is mostly true. All their prime content is now online and gets streamed from their app. However, they are still primarily a satellite radio service since every vehicle has the service installed and the signal...

EDIT: Now that I have listened to this, I think it's pretty decent. It sounds like a Billy Joel song with its hard beats and piano accompaniment. The vocals sound slightly off but I attribute that to Billy being 74 years old. He's lost power in his voice.

Yes, been keeping an eye (or ear) on this as it has been announced across Facebook and TikTok. Looking forward to hearing it. Thanks, Jeffrey.

A few thoughts... SiriusXM is all about repetition on their music channels. It seems like they pick a few hundred songs they know were popular on the charts and that's all they will play day in and day out. If you listen to a particular channel on a daily basis you get bored rather quickly...

I have a 2022 Corsair and had to relocate or delete channels that were moved or became obsolete. However, I did notice yesterday that the logo for SOUL TOWN was changed to SMOKEY'S SOUL TOWN but essentially, the channel didn't move and there was only a name change.

There's a lot of stuff coming out of SiriusXM this week. The service had a huge corporate event featuring CEO Jennifer Witz with a little help from the network's biggest star, Howard Stern. Basically, they are putting all their eggs into their streaming app which will see a major facelift...

As long as you can talk the phone reps down in price (which still seems to be the case), and pay what you want, then SiriusXM is not a bad option. There is a major announcement on the way around November 4th during their earnings call. It will concern major changes to their software platform...

Agreed. I am aware of the Big 80s countdown which has none of the charm of the original Casey Kasem countdowns.

Sure! I listen to Casey Kasem in my car all the time thanks to that app and channel.

Yeah, I regularly listen to them on iHeart radio while in my car

I don't believe he is currently featured on 80s on 8

If you love Casey Kasem, download the free iHeart Radio app. There is an entire AMERICAN TOP 40 CLASSICS channel that plays nothing but the Countdowns from the 70s and 80s all day long.

That does make sense and perhaps could be a reason for the repetition you are hearing. I can tell you that when I visited there over 15 years ago, I inquired about the amount of music they owned and was told that they have every song in existence on their servers. However, in 2015 the company...

The 4th of July weekend is always an interesting one. So are other major holiday weekends. You will hear "best of the decade" countdown shows on some of their Decades channels. It's interesting because you hear music that the service never plays. It's rather frustrating to know that there...

Hi Ben! This is explained in the post that starts this entire thread. The service is run by people who worked in FM radio and have retained the philosophy that when someone turns to their favorite channel, they only want to hear familiar songs. They also feel that most of the listening is...

How difficult was it for you to cancel? There's an article that just appeared on one of the news sites recently about how difficult SiriusXM has made it to cancel their service. I tried finding the article again but came up short. I know they won't let you cancel without talking with one of...

Excellent! You have to be careful to put the expiration date on the calendar and call them a few days before it to renew or cancel again. You did quite well. Despite the fact their prices keep going up, if you go in firmly with a price you are willing to pay, they will meet it most of the...

Todd, perhaps you can help me out with this... What is the Pandora Station on SiriusXM? Every time I turn it on it sounds like current rap music and I quickly change it. However, I know there is a standalone Pandora service that you can subscribe to (or use on a FREE tier) and customize your...
