I am a Sirius subscriber (they finally have their alternative Captcha system in 
place so it will speak the numbers you have to type in to log in, now I listen 
all day at work!) I currently have a Sportster and I'm very dissatisfied with 
it. Is the Stiletto almost totally accessible? 

How did you set up the radio without sighted assistance when you had to 
activate it? I finally had to have sighted help; a screen came up and I 
couldn't tell what to fill in.

If that doesn't work out for you there's Sirius satellite radio.  Sure 
there's a monthly subscription fee but the music is commercial free.  The 
stiletto 100 portable receiver speaks the channel name or number as you 
change channels.

We both have one, its just six dollars or so to add a second radio to the 
subscription of 12.95 a month.  We also bought a home docking unit and have 
that connected to our stereo.

There's about 100 channels of music, every type of music and variety of that 
type one can think of.  Then there's all the talk channels, anything from 
Howard Stern, Doctor radio, fox news, cnn, npr, political channels for left, 
independent, and right,  religious, comedy, kids,  sports, etc..

You can learn more at www.sirius.com

Here's a link to the radio:

You can also put your MP3 files on the radio and play them and you can 
connect the radio to a wireless access point and listen to the channels 
Sirius has via the internet, which aren't as many when listening via regular 
satellite mode but its still nice.
