When I realized I was pushing $50 a month for something neither I nor SWMBO uses more than an hour a month and Apple Music for the whole family was $17 getting rid of XM became an easy sell.

I've been using Pandora for probably close to 20 years. I think it was $4.99/mo, and now it's $5.99? It's not the same being able to say "play album XYZ by 123", but I like it. I've got "stations" created for many moods, and have been turned on to a lot of music that I probably wouldn't know about otherwise. Start a station with a particular song or group, and then it starts suggesting other groups/songs, thumb up or thumb down and you turn that into the station you want, reggae, blues, modern rock, classic rock, EDM, etc...

I haven't tried Apple Music or Amazon Music (but both have been pestering me for years "try a free trial" and "you're not using a free service".
