SIRIUS Stiletto Line Brings MP3 to Satellite Radio
 

SIRIUS Satellite Radio is cable for your radio, an extraordinary way to experience your favorite radio content anytime and anywhere. This form of satellite radio is not limited by travel or commercial sponsorship. Satellite Radio gives more freedom to the artist and more freedom to the listener to customize his or her audio programming. SIRIUS has a large amount of commercial free stations that cover every genre of music, as well as a large variety of sports program, news shows, talk shows and comedy shows. Best of all, there are no affiliates involved or analog radio stations involved. Therefore, with SIRIUS satellite radio you get coast-to-coast coverage, with no limitations. Little wonder there has been entire SIRIUS channels devoted to the music of Elvis Presley, as well as the wit of Howard Stern and the mind of Martha Stewart.

In fact, the only threat to SIRIUS radio in the last several years has been the MP3 digital revolution. Now more and more users are forgoing CDs and radio programs so that they can customize their home computer, portable computers and portable MP3 players with their favorite songs. SIRIUS has realized the lucrative potential of working with the MP3 format, rather than against it and has come out with a line of Stiletto 2 satellite radio receivers. Not only do these devices offer SIRIUS radio; they also function as MP3 players and can let users store up to one hundred hours (or 2 GB) of digital audio files. This system also gives users the ability to increase the memory of their SIRIUS Satellite Radio Receiver by adding a MicroSD card.

What are some of the other features of the SIRIUS Stiletto 2 and how do they work? You can have instant radio replays, since the device stores hours of original SIRIUS music channels. If you hear a great song on the radio and want to hear it to your heart's content, you simply replay the MP3. You can also record talk shows or comedy shows just the same. Recording operates via a one-touch device and stores up to 10 hours of individual songs. Since SIRIUS channels are commercial free it's as good as having a new MP3 file.

You can also take advantage of the “book marking” feature by tagging your favorite songs or use the SIRIUS replay feature and pause, rewind or replay live SIRIUS programming. The WiFi connectivity allows users to listen to SIRIUS Internet Radio over most WiFi networks. The Personalized Sports Ticker lets you hear real-time updates of your favorite sports, while parental controls make it easy to keep edgy programming under lock and key. XM , SIRIUS' once-competitor and now sister station is also working on getting into the MP3 market as well.

When it comes to SIRIUS accessories , the SIRIUS Stiletto 2 offers you a full package. Ordering the system gets you the receiver, along with earbuds, a headset antenna, a battery system, an AC power adapter, a cable for PC use and the SIRIUS Studio software. You may have to order the car adapter as well since this is one of the few SIRIUS systems that does not include one. Hear the difference with the SIRIUS Stiletto 2, a radio and MP3 player in one.
