Well Sirius XM has NOT lost customers, they have been gaining every quarter since they went online and have over 19.1MM subscribers now. Steaming music, particularly in a car across the US is impossible right now, and not likely anytime soon. It is also very unsatisfactory in term of reception, much like terrestrial radio is. Satelitte radio give you news, music, special content, over 170 stations, and all the sports broadcasts live as they happen for professional and college sports, and gets it to you everywhere in the US.
I have 16G on my MP3 player, but nothing matches satellite radio. Far from 'dieing' Sirius revenues and customer base is still growing, and every car sold in America has a Satellite ready radio, and over 55% have satellite installed. Over 90% of luxury cars come with it installed and a three year subscription standard.
Once you have it, you con't go back. Check out the new player from XM:

If you are going to comment on something you might want to try it! Go to www.xmradio.com and get a three day internet trial. Also, they pay the artists, and always have for their music, and that is more than terrestrial radio who pays nothing to the artists. www.siriusxm.com is a great place to learn more. No I don't work for them, but I do lover the product. The company is going to around for a long time.
