The biggest benefit I see is that a lot of people don't want to take the time to find and load MP3's. Radio has the benefit of letting someone else figure out what to play for me. As the number of available songs goes up, the time taken to organize and select those songs also goes up. I don't change the CD's in my car very often because I just don't feel like going through 500 CD's or 5,000 MP3's and guessing what kind of moods I'll be in that week.
Until now, radio has had the drawback of settling on the lowest common denominator, so letting someone else pick my music hasn't been a better alternative.
With satellite radio, there is finally a way for me to have someone else pick the music and probably get it consistently good because I get a more focused genre. That is certainly worth $10 a month. I'm not paying for better music, I'm paying for the service.
