The music is not only better on the Muzak channels, there are no annoying DJ's either. The blabbering Sirius DJ's, who talk way too much and OVER the songs, really tick me off, as does the following:While there is a larger variety of Sirius channels, from a sound quality standpoint I prefer the Muzak channels. The only thing I wish is that they were all carried in stereo.
- the annoying sound effects that also play on top of the songs, as if the dj's talking on top of them wasn't enough. (hair spray on "Hair Nation", buzzsaw on "Buzzsaw", scratchy record on "Classic Vinyl", etc)
-the incessent station promos (I know what damn station I'm listening to! It says so on the display, not to mention I TUNED TO IT!)
-and yes, they even have commercials on supposedly "commercial-free" Sirius. WTF?
-and the icing on the turkey is the extremely shallow playlist. They have about 100 music channels but seem to only play 50 songs.
-Oh yeah. NO BIG BAND/SWING CHANNEL. Are they nuts? How can you not have a swing channel? Their Standards channel is pretty lame too.
