I think XM deserves a lot of credit for diversity in 
programming.  Maybe they don't play as many Cramps shows as one 
poster would like but they broadcast a lot of live shows from our 
local South by Southwest festival, from Bonnaroo, from two recent all 
day festivals that Willie Nelson put on -- all live shows that 
certainly weren't going to show up on traditional radio.  The fact 
that the sound quality isn't CD quality may actually be a good thing, 
since a lot of artists (even ones that don't normally allow taping) 
have been allowing XM to broadcast their performances.  Bob Dylan, 
performing at Willie's 4th of July show, didn't let them broadcast, 
but basically everyone else did.  While those broadcasts may not be 
as sweet as a DAT soundboard, I'd rather have the XM feed than an 
audience recording.

They are also giving airplay to a lot of bands that deserve airplay 
but don't get it elsewhere, and even on the 'oldies' channels and the 
classic rock channels they dig up and play lots of rare gems and 
great tracks that aren't on the standard Clear Channel playlist.

My only complaint is that they raised the fees on everyone to cover 
their losses on Opie and Anthony. Originally O&A was to be an extra 
pay channel, but suddenly everyone got a surcharge and O&A was a 
"free" channel.

Hoping someone has an extra one collecting dust they would like to sell.

Active or Passive cables, I am only looking for cables with the stock 
Sony 7-pin connectors, no core-sound cables please.
