Anyone catch AGT Tuesday night? Was that Muscle trying to sing opera, it sure sounded just like him.
I have a new dartboard, I am going to write potential SIRIUSXM takeover outcomes and share prices on it, put on a blindfold, and throw darts at it.

lol, I hear ya, with so many scenarios I only fear the worst, which is some scenario I haven't thought of. Still holding, I'd like to probably just hold this forever if only for once someone would say something positive about the economy, boy I miss those days.
one thing that has me confident to hold through any rough drops is that all the talk of europe has very little to do with siri, since of course its an all american based company. As well as I think even in bad times sirius xm radio is one of lifes pleasures / necessities like alcohol tobacco and groceries if our economy takes a beating from Europe's woes
and in michigan you can take back your beer cans for the money to pay your xm bill :)
Spotify passed Pandora as the #1 top free music app list. It's actually in the top 10 free overall apps. It will be interesting to see how long this lasts.
I took a minute to play with the app and loved the way that new users get a free 48 hour premium trial. I wish SiriusXM did something like this. Instead, when I download the SiriusXM app,I am stonewalled by a login form. Why not give people a quick free trial as soon as they download? How can you convert new users without a taste?
The SiriusXM app doesn't even give you a way to signup if you don't have an account! Huge usability failure.
So they discontinued the 7 day free trial?
They still have the trial but, how would a new user know that? Could you previously see the 7 day free trial when you downloaded the app?
When I download the app now I see a username and password field. THATS IT! No link to signup. No free trial. No way to get a username and password if you don't have one. It's a huge usability failure.
26% of all apps downloaded are opened only once, then never used again. Only 26% of apps are used more than 11X. What group do you think SiriusXM is in when a new user is stonewalled?
Maybe I'm crazy. Delete your app, reinstall it, and tell me what you see.
I did on a new phone just now, there is a button for free trial
Was it on an iPhone? I tried it on a new iPhone and saw nothing but the username and login screen.
No, it is an android. Did you replace from an iPhone? Maybe it recognized you had an account from memory somewhere like icloud?
This phone is a hand-me-down but, there was no sign of the app being previously installed. Even if it were, deleting an app should delete all of the personal settings associated with it.
Hopefully someone with a new or never used iPhone can chime in on this one.
BTW, I think if SiriusXM markets this new ondemand feature correctly, we should see subs increase a noticeable amount. I dont know what took them so long to get all this shit done but with the Google TV release and now this web player update, SiriusXM is starting to look like an actual proper company!
these two links online show the 7 day free trial for apple http://www.siriusxm.com/ios and http://www.siriusxm.com/oniphone/indexi.xmc
maybe if your app has a feedback option you could send them a message and mention the issue you saw.
I hope the on demand also has the shows that aren't just interviews, like some of the 2 hour dj shows that run at night. I think its just great, with all the constant talk about competition from Pandora, Spotify blah blah blah etc sirius xm shows anyone can enter that field, but what matters is the content.
I've been reading some comments about slacker etc and overwhelmingly people say the experience gets old, they want to hear a live dj to feel connected with the world and even the choice to pick your own music gets old when the app wont change based on holidays, day versus night programming and shallow playlists. Mine is that pandora playlists jump around to what I know shouldn't be classified as my choice.
Like one person said the classical music channel on Slacker repeats the same music, plays only parts of scores etc....basically, songs don't fit.
I like this on demand, I checked it out. Can't wait. Alot of new subscribers don't know that mid day its mostly commercial free popular music like FM, though uncut and explicit language,. But the morning, evening and weekend shows are what I have it for. Luckily with my xmp3 I've been able to record them and listen during the day.
Just looked at the desktop version of the online player and at the login screen it has a 30 day free trial for the online subscription
