That is so offensive. The RIAA have been stifling innovation since Napster, just so they can prop up their dying favoured business model.

I can't wait until we can all have a good laugh about this.

Death to RIAA. ;p~]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/

So, stick it. I would carry a TANK with Stern than a thimble with XM just for the stern content.

Nothing XM has holds a candle to the S50! NOTHING!

Sirius is kicking XM's ars in sales right now, so you post this totally false statement? this site is no better than orbitcast! nothing but knocking everything Sirius produces. there is NO MORE TECH ADVANTAGE BY XM. DEAL WITH IT!!!!!

The S50 is everything i thought it would be! you can set it up to record 20 shows at 2 hours each. if you want to record Stern, you set it up to record from 6-8, then 8-10. after that you can still record 18 more of your favorite shows.

please dont review a product you dont own.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/
The S50 is an MP3 player (and good luck fitting 50 hours of those in there... 50 hours of Sirius, yes. 50 SONGS of MP3?

Insert MP3 player here and you have a much better setup for less money.

Shame about the neutered s-50. But it was overpriced, even before they deleted features.

I hoped it would be the fist Sirius radio without those ridiculous heat vents.

Nope.

XM is kicking SIRI's ass in hardware. And they are not blowing half a billion on an AARP-eligible schlock jock.

Which, of course, is a very good reason why 7 out of 10 subscribers choose XM.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/
One reason I don't subscribe to either satelite radio provider is because you are forced to make a choice of one over the other. Ideally, you could get a player that could handle either XM or Sirius signal, then switch out your subscriptions based purely on content.

And if anyone really wants to listen to music on their cellphone, I think the cellphone is the medium XM and Sirius should court for subscription listen only feeds; it could simply be tacked on or folded in to an existing cellular bill.

I've played with this thing at work, for the price you could get an XM reciever and a 30 Gig iPod. It's a much smarter choice. I personally prefer XM for programming, too. (O&A > Stern, and Sirius's music channels stink, XM needs to make some music programming changes as well, though.) Anyway, if this were an XM unit, I would steer clear of it as well.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/Dec 19th 2005 2:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/02/sirius-s50-has-been-siriusly-crippled-by-the-riaa/
Shame on Engadget and the tens of other blogs that are creating panic amongst the Satellite radio community. The RIAA had nothing to do with this, and the S50 is a great unit.

Still watiting on the factual news story about the "RIAA's crippling, etc"

I am confused. This page (http://www.sirius.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Sirius/CachedPage&c=ProductAsset&cid=1130363753674)
says that it plays live and time-shifted content.

I spoke to one person at Sirius who said that it will stream live content just like an old FM radio. Another person said it will not. I want to be able to walk around and listen to live content.

If you are listening to a song and you are half way into it you can save it and it will save the song from the begining and title it by name, artist, music type and station location.



Yes, it is not intended to be a portable satelite receiver but who cares, you can record talk and music you like on the fly then pullout the small unit and listen to them while you wait at the DMV line.]]>Jan 8th 2006 7:31AM
