   It turns out my wife's already sick of XM radio since they tend to   
   repeat the same programming over and over, so now she's back to   
   wanting to play music via bluetooth.   
      
   And she came up with a great idea - she still had her previous phone   
   laying around, and the bluetooth and wifi on it still work, so she had   
   me install the MP3 playing app that I've been usign (Musicolet) and   
   she deleted everything off the phone's memory card and loaded up a   
   bunch of music.  Converting a usless old smartphone into a dedicated   
   music player for her car.  Wish I'd thought of that.
