Satellite radio
I'm thinking about putting in satellite radio in the business instead
of playing CDs. Is one better than the other (I can only think of
Sirius right now, but there is another one, isn't there)? Also, my
building is 3 stories high. Will I get a signal? I'm hoping it will
be easy and I can just plug it into our existing system that
distributes it to speakers all over.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. In the past 10 years
I've gone from being fairly techno-savvy to the little old lady who
needs a child to program the VCR. (Telling on myself here, DH got me
a DVD recorder that records onto disks, and neither one of us can make
it work yet - keep getting "disk error"). That's how bad it is at my
house. <G>

It may soon be a moot point, as the two are attempting to merge; there
was just a court decision to allow it the other day (or rather, a
decision not to prevent it from happening), though the approval
process isn't over. From all I've heard, though, it will likely go
forward so there'll just be the one service soon (for now, anyway,
until others spring up).

From the XM Radio home page, * w w w .xmradio . com , click on "XM for
Business", which will take you to * w w w .xm4biz . com . It would
probably be a violation of the normal XM Radio terms and conditions to
do what you want to do.

When I bought the business, I saw a handwritten note hanging on the
bulletin board from the artist on the CDs the former owner left me,
that said basically we had permission to play his music. After
looking this up, now I see why:
* seattletimes.nwsource . com /html/businesstechnology/2003815486_royalty0=
1.html
I don't mind paying $25 a month for Sirius or XM, but it just kind of
irritates me about the lawsuits for some reason, but that's just me.
Maybe we'll just put CNN on the big screen and forget the music
altogether. Or will I get sued for that too?
Thanks for all the info everyone.

Rae,
I suspect that as soon as you feed the music into your business sound
system, you would be treated as a business customer.

I have to wonder, Bob, because AOL is now free. Far as I know, they
didn't have business accounts when they had paying customers, but now it
is free so how can anything it offers not be free? IMHO they really
should not make things so difficult for people who don't even have a
clue there might be fees attached. We all know nobody reads the fine
print, especially for a free service.

Dianne,
My reply wasn't implying that you would do something improper, I was
simply replying to Rae's post.
I hope you enjoy your XM. I have it activated in my car mainly because
even though we live in the 7th largest city in the U.S., there is no
jazz radio station of any kind and I hate the obnoxious DJs that seem
to inhabit the classic Rock FM stations.

I was just saying that for the record...lol.
I know what you mean about the DJs on the classic rock stations, we
have them too. Now I'm just trying to figure out what stations would
work best for here. If I had my druthers (is that even a word?), it
would be classic rock!
