It claims to stream about 100,000 stations from all over the world, as well as millions of podcasts (including CNET's podcasts). The TuneIn app is the leader in radio streaming. You may also need a new car: Only a handful of late-model cars offer SiriusXM 360L and it's not yet available in any aftermarket head units.

Satellite radio is expensive compared to a lot of other media offerings today: Between $11 and $21 on a monthly basis, and you'll need that top tier to get the new Pandora integration, but at least the stations you create will be commercial-free.

The latest version of satellite radio, as seen in a Cadillac XT6, offers search, artist alerts, Pandora station creation and on-demand content - if you have one of the few late-model cars that offer the system. You can tag artists so you'll be notified when they're playing on any channel, tag sports teams the same way to know about game broadcasts, search for both live and on-demand streaming content, and even create Pandora stations from artists you hear with an easy on-screen touch. It combines a satellite feed with wireless internet from a car's built-in 4G LTE modem to offer an interactive experience. The latest version of the only satellite radio system in the US is called SiriusXM 360L, available starting in the 2020 Dodge RAM, 2021 Ford F-150 and a coming standalone unit from SiriusXM called The Tour.
