My xmp3 was working fine and then it got hot and started buzzing. It will not come on or do anything except buzz. Any one else had a similar problem? I liked the unit but I have only had it a couple of weeks and already having problems.
I have Sirius and don't want to switch to XM.
The XMP3 is too expensive.
I don't have a need for Portability and Recording.
I'm afraid because I read bad comments.
I do have an XMP3.

Try holding down the power-button, then take out the battery, and place it into the home dock, if it still won't power on, then I'd take it back, and see if you can get a new one....if you didn't get your XMP3 at a local Store, that kinda sucks, and you may NOT be able to do that, however most places even online retailers have a 45-day return/exchange policy..............Good Luck
So far so good. It does appear there is some problem with the memory getting full that is possibly caused when removing the unit from the base when its recording, but not confirmed what causes it. all I know is I deleted from the device and deleted from the XM2go manager then I was showing 36% full still and it wouldn't record. So, i had to do a reset/erase to clean it up and allow recording again. Not a big deal to me, i had some songs saved but never listened to them, mostly listen live or record shows overnight and listen the next day, then delete them.
Battery is still lasting pretty well throughout the day, except the last two times it got low it went into a loop of shutdown and startup, which was fixed by recharging the battery.
Yeah, some quirks, but well worth whatever they charge (especially the $100 or whatever they are charging now)
A Terrestrial signal comes form Sirius XM ground repeaters, and are located in large Metro areas, if you don't see a Terrestrial signal then you don't have any Terrestrial ground repeaters in your local area, I don't have a Terrestrial signal on the Sirius side of my MiRGE-interoperable-Radio, but, over on the XM side, I have both a Terrestrial and Satellite signal. so, Sirius in my area only works with an outside antenna, (cause it has no ground repeaters) but, with XM I don't need an outside antenna, cause we have XM ground repeaters in my local area.....

Good Reply.
I see we have 6 votes for "I have an xmp3 player" so if anyone has anything to say after owning it please chime in.
Thanks for this information... I guess I live in a 'one-horse city' in Tennessee cause we don't have those repeaters here. <sigh>
I had recently purchased a Garmin GPS and found we don't have the service for traffic reporting like the big citys have. I did find one service that only operates during 'rush hour' only... well, with 'one-horse' I guess its not needed.
Thanks again.

Let me ask you... would a 'XM Wireless Signal Repeater' help me inside my house or does a product like the below only amplify the terrestrial signal in the area (which I don't have)

A question about playing back recorded XM content. If you have recorded multiple channels or multiple sessions of the same channel, can you shuffle play across all the recordings?
you know i haven't tried it but i see it is possible to add a recording to a playlist....in that case you could probably add several sessions to a playlist and then play from "playlists"
