looks like this further proves Satellite radio/in car satellite technology is dead. had AT&T (then SBC, pre buyout of AT&T) done this in 2003-2005, when Satellite radio was at it's peak. it would had be great, but they decided to wait until Sirius and XM merged (a big mistake on both parts since it killed competition in the satellite radio market) and the recession that the country was going though since 2007. it was doomed when they announced it. and now internet radio is rising and AT&T dropping CruiseCast was the right move. now, since most wireless internet technology has brought internet radio to cars with radios that have a jack where you can plug in your iPhone or other wireless internet cell phones to play the streams of radio stations online. and not to mention companies that make car radios are trying to make internet radio friendly car radios where you can get a radio station webstream online without needing a cell phone or laptop computer to get the stations webstream up and running. so i say good riddance to satellite radio technology. it was great when it first came out in 2001, but it wore out it's welcome when Sirius-XM merged and not to mention internet radio's rise in the last few years.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
