…Satellite radio subscriptions are on the rise. Even commercial enterprises are using them to pipe in background music in stores, telephones, and elevators (yes, elevator music can be via satellite radio). The two biggest providers of satellite radio is Sirius and XM radio. Satellite radios now come in portables, similar to mp3 players, and can be installed in cars. May car manufacturers are making their factory stereo systems 'satellite ready' including: General Motors, Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. Imagine driving and listening to radio with hours worth of music that you love. Rumor has it that pretty soon, many music players will be equipped to include a satellite radio conversion so that people will be able to play satellite radio on their personal music players, the same way they listen to basic radio stations. It's also possible to enjoy the benefits of satellite radio in the comfort of your own home via the use of satellite cable. Satellite cable comes equipped with XM radio with many radio stations that cater to specific musical genres and time eras.
