I actually really like that feature.
This was available on my 14 Jeep Cherokee, before I traded for the Ranger. I would like to have it back.

3.4 has some nice improvements, although the UI could use some polish. However, one of the best changes is that SiriusXM Travel Link now works like it’s supposed to. I had Travel Link on my Ford Raptor and it worked. On the Ranger I have Travel Link and only 2 of the 8 services worked with 3.3, now they all work with 3.4. Fuel Prices, Weather, Sport Scores, Movie Listings, Parking, and Ski Conditions.

Something I've noticed with 3.4... For my SiriusXM presets, when I press an icon, it has the station buffered to start at the beginning of the current song. If I press the icon a second time, it clears the buffer and goes to actual part of the song that's currently playing.

This only works for presets, not direct tune. I didn't notice it doing this on 3.3.
The Desktop version of SiriusXM is similar. I listen while I'm working, and keep my Favorites screen open. When a song comes up on a station that I'm not listening to, I can jump over to it and the song starts from the beginning. I can then catch up to what's playing live by clicking on Go Live.

What exactly is Travel link?

depends on how you use it. even before it disappeared, I never used that screen (auto mode + hard buttons sufficed). so for me, it's NBD. if you use that screen a lot I guess you'll need to figure something out.

I down loaded the 3.4, now I can't brows music on memory stick plugged into USB port. It show a massage " Browsing currently unavailable " is it the wrong format? Down loaded off of itunes. It worked on 3.3.

It won't do it when moving with 3.4, but should be available when stopped. If it's not re-indexing should fix it. There's a media button in the main menu and in there is a button to force a re-index.

A system reset/boot should get everything working. That's a simultaneous push of the radio power and fast forward buttons.
