It’s sneaky good at what it does.
SiriusXM features expertly curated ad-free music, celebrity-hosted talk, sports analysis, and more.
Im a big baseball fan so I was pleasantly surprised to be able to listen to every game live.

Additionally, the MLB online grid Radio station provides something baseball-related 24/7.
There are individual teams podcasts and shows mixed in that I found too.
There were always people talking about baseball in some fashion.
SiriusXM features expertly curated ad-free music, celebrity-hosted talk, sports analysis, and more.
This is also true for other sports like the NBA and NFL.
Beyond sports, I dabbled in the comedy section, which was fun, but not typically my thing.
Theres a robust true crime selection of shows that could keep certain people busy.

Some of this non-music content is exclusive to SiriusXM, but not all of it.

you might skip songs, but only so many per station in a certain time frame.
Personally, I need the ability to select individual songs and listen to them at a moment’s notice.
You cant do that with SiriusXM.

But not everyone rolls like that.
They listen to whatever is playing on the local radio station in the car instead.

For better or worse, there are limited music discovery options to decide between.
You pretty much just have to pick a genre and then decide whether youre feeling energetic or lazy.
SiriusXM will pick a good selection of songs from that point forward.
Not all stations allow songs to be skipped though.
Theres no way to save the song to remember later.
Its all very ephemeral.
The interface is simple in this way.
you might’t make playlists, view lyrics, or do things with individual songs.
There are music options for nearly every occasion available with a push of a single button.
Its benefits are less tailored to someone wanting to build playlists and select individual songs.
If thats you, this service is an ideal choice.
