All, I'm curious about what services you use to get your groove on in your Ranger.
I currently have All Access SiriusXM but I'm getting a little worn on Tesla and Queensryche.
I pay $115 for All Access/Platinum SiriusXM and use it on the road, in the office and in the shower.

Share what you use and how you make it work? And cost if you're willing.

I use Pandora or my iPhone for music.

Pandora is included with my cell contract so no additional cost.

I very much prefer it to Sirius/XM.

I have a pretty large music collection and much of it goes on the road with me on an old school iPod. iHeart Radio and Apple Music fill the voids (less then $20/month for both). I didn’t realize Amazon Prime had music included, need to check that out.

It seems to me like the Sirius music stations have a play list an I hear the same bands and songs for about a month then it rotates to a different set of songs.

I pay for a higher level of service than I was getting with the $5/$6 a month plan for the sports an political talk options. I stream it on my phone an desktop too.

I have an old school memory stick with about 400 of my favorite songs on it I use on the Harley.

I have TIdal on my android. I have over 400 albums downloaded at the moment. It's nice because when plugged into the sync it shows the album art and you can control from your screen.

Part of why I'm looking for different suggestions. Lots of repetition on SiriusXM.
I have several thumb drives with different playlists too.

I keep forgetting about Amazon Prime too. And YouTube Music.

Pandora Plus. I have yet to find a music service that finds the music I want to hear better than Pandora. I've had the same station since 2008 (based on 3 bands) and it continually finds new music that is similar with decent results.

I have Pandora, but rarely use it due to my cell plan. I have used a USB ipod device, but currently I use a USB thumbdrive with about 40GB of music data, which is about 30+ days of music played 24/7.

Spotify. I got it when I was finishing up college courses for $5 per month, but it has since gone to $10, since I’m no longer in school.

Can download any song I want, make playlists, follow friends playlists, get artist recommendations, and podcasts. Not sure how old you are, but I don’t know a single person under 45 (maybe 50) has ever used Sirius XM. I haven’t listened to Stern since he went over, I guess he helped them build their business, I guess why he gets paid so much.

I got a 3 month unlimited trial for $2.00 to SiriusXM for our trip. I go between Rock Bar, Lithium and Hair Nation but I would say Rock Bar has the best mix. Before that I was using iHeart radio and TuneIn Radio which have a lot of good choices.

Nah good tunes are universal.

Even though it's not my generation I actually listen to mostly jazz music now that I'm older. I actually prefer any music that has no lyrics.
