But not enough to actually pay for it.
I got my second letter in the mail from SiriusXM today. My 3 month trial subscription expires on July 26th. This offer is for a special $4.99 a month for 6 months. Of course there is an asterisk attached to the price and the fine print on the bottom says: Other fees and taxes will apply. The yearly rate is 7.92 a month before those fees and taxes. I’ve read on the Sonata Forum that if you call (or answer their phone calls, which I’m not doing) they will offer a yearly $77 price ($6.42 a month before those pesky fees and taxes.)
Sometimes it seems worth a few bucks a month and then other times not so much. Just going to go back to recording songs off the net and dumping them on a USB stick.
Also on a musical note (get it? musical, note?) I signed up for a subscription to Spotify, that cloud music service that all the kids are on about these days, and got my email invite yesterday. I haven’t activated it yet. From what I’ve read, it is, unlike Pandora, hard to discover new music, unless you do the social media thing. So I guess I’ll give it a try, but I think it will be less missed than XM when I give up on Spotify after a few days.
