Tomorrow, September 1st, Orbitcast will be launching a new feature that will conjoin a convoluted cacophony of confusion with a mashup of mass mayhem and madness. We've secretly been testing it out, and thanks to help of a select few readers, we're finally ready to launch.

But rather than have ME talk about it... let's see what others in the satellite radio industry are saying....

...check back tomorrow, when all will be revealed.

Today, August 5th, XM Satellite Radio has implemented a new upgraded audio processor for its music channels, resulting in what they claim as "a fuller and richer sound across the more than 70 XM music channels."

This sound quality update has been in development for over a year, and XM has been working closely with Neural Audio to put this in effect.

Keep in mind that this is not a change in compression. XM says these are "pure fidelity improvements" and has nothing to do with bandwidth.

As of this posting, I personally haven't heard a noticeable difference (though I still need my coffee) - scratch that, I think I do hear a difference. Have you heard a difference? Let everyone know in the comments.

(Side note, we're on our new server now, so things may be a little hokey while I work out the bugs.)
