RSSAOL Launches Online Radio With XM

AOL said on Thursday it has began testing a version of its radio service that includes XM Satellite Radio content. AOL first announced details of the partnership with XM in mid-April, which also includes the company taking over XM's current online radio offering. AOL is requesting during the beta phase that customers send their feedback.
Preliminary tests of the service by BetaNews showed it was free of any major problems. The most noticeable difference between the current XM online service -- and even its broadcast offering -- was sound quality. AOL offered a crisper and less tinny sound than what normally occurs with online radio, and also to some extent with the XM satellite service.
Let's just hope XM don't do anything stupid like merging with AOL.

Aol's online radio has always been the best online radio on the web. Now with XM online services added to it, it's just greatly fantastic. The sound quality of aol radio is amazing. I got my pc hooked up to my Hi-Fi stereo and aol's online radio is blowing my head off with my favourite tunes from its smooth jazz fm. There is no better time to become a member if you are not one yet with all the massive goodies the ISP heavyweight is comming up with lately. I am loving my membership.
