I'm considering subscribing to XM, but have not made up my mind yet. As much as we all like to think that exotica/lounge/bachelor pad music is a viable programming category, it's really a pretty small niche in the grand spectrum of music. I don't mean that in terms of importance or musical relevance, but in terms of how many people want to listen to it - there just aren't that many.

I'm more concerned that they just don't play music with enough variety in general. Any chance I can listen to an XM station that plays Bill Laswell's Miles Davis remixes, some Leon Redbone, some late 90's experimental electronica, and a cut from The Conet Project? I doubt it.

Now, about Ipods. How the hell can I hook it up directly to my car stereo? We use it on the home system and a portable speaker, but not the car. Don't they make car stereos with aux. in jacks? We got one of the FM transmitters and it didn't work with any reliability.
