Sirius Releases Portable Music Player

"Like portable players from XM, the Sirius S50 will be able to record scheduled programming. But Sirius is also attempting to differentiate itself from other players by adding unique features. For example, the S50 will record content automatically from the user's three most commonly listened to stations, as well as allow playback of MP3 and WMA files."



Talk about a letdown. Sure its nice it can play MP3 and WMA, but S50 can only receive satellite signal when plugged into its docking station. You cannot actually listen to satellite radio while traveling and content must be recorded from the service beforehand. My wife uses her XM MiFi all the time in her car.

LAME!
