Satelite radio is 128kbit - my phone regularly gets 720kbit and will stream whatever. It also buffers - satelite doesn't or at least it doesn't appear to since it breaks up frequently. Hassel is zero since I have my phone with me all the time. It won't be long before voice is data (eg no more voice and/or data plans - they'll be one). I don't think there are many analog phones if any any more.

I usually have a burnt MP3 CD in the changer or plug my MP3 player in but with the added option of plugging my phone in as well with streaming audio its hard to justify Satelite radio.
