I was thinking the other day how cool it would be for empeg to have this.

Hmmm.... I dunno. I don't think I'd be willing to pay $10 a month just to have access to a bunch more radio stations that wouldn't be playing what I wanted to listen to anyway. After all, the reason I bought my empeg was so that I would always have exactly what I wanted to hear on hand at all times, and even if I were to add the empeg tuner, I doubt that I would ever listen to it because I have what I want already, and it is a dead certainty that no radio station in the world would ever program to my eclectic tastes. (For example...currently playing on my empeg is the Hummel trumpet concerto. Next up is Rush: Tom Sawyer. Then an aria from Verdi's opera Rigoletto, followed by a track from the IASCA competition disk and a Chopin etude.)

The idea of XM radio is OK, but I can't live with the monthly subscription fees. Maybe if I were more of a radio junkie it would be different. (And this from a guy who earns his living working in the radio broadcast industry!)
