XM Radio

Started by hadar · 10 months ago

Two years ago, very good friends of ours bought me an amazing present, a Roady 2 XM Radio player, along with a monthly subscription. I had thought about getting one before they got it for me.

    Now that I listen online, I've discovered that I'm crazy about their Bluegrass channel, and the Classical one as well (14 and 110).
