If you’re a SiriusXM subscriber and every day, on your way to work, you listen to your favorite satellite radio station, you can now continue the stream on your Windows 10 PC, tablet, or laptop when you’re at your desk with the new SiriusXM app for Windows 10.
Similar to the experience on your car, SiriusXM on Windows 10 brings high-quality radio streaming — significantly better than AM or FM signals.
The SiriusXM app is free to download, but like any other service, if you want quality radio you’ll have to pay $15.99 for a month subscription. However, you can get a free month trial by just creating an account within the app.
Of course, you can always use SiriusXM on the web, but why would you compromise battery life and your computer’s performance using a player based on Adobe Flash? It’s not an ideal solution.
