I'm kind of curious myself. I know the bitrates on a lot of the internet stations are a lot higher than Sirius's. Sirius is about 40-50 kps. Although their compression may be better than other codec's, I'd have to think a 128kps mp3 or WMA would sound better. I was looking at getting a device like this,

I notice the first 2 that troutman posted advertise CD quality. Can anyone attest to that? I'll have to check them out when I get home.
I wonder if you could get those stations that require logins and/or subscriptions to work on a squeezebox.
