Pricegrabber, the free price comparison service, says:

"When docked in its cradle, it plays live SIRIUS broadcasts, captures SIRIUS content, and lets you store and listen to your favorite MP3 or WMA files.

With its included accessories, you can play it over your car stereo, or take it with you and listen wherever you go. The S50's internal memory stores up to 50 hours of content — your favorite SIRIUS programming, your MP3/WMA files, or any combination of the two. When you're listening to SIRIUS, you can pause, rewind, and fast-forward live broadcasts. And when you want to save content, just press the "Love" button on the cradle — it's the one marked with a heart.

A belt clip is also included. The bright, legible, full-color screen shows you channel, artist, and song titles on SIRIUS, as well as the names of your digital music files.

The S50 is smart, too — it learns which SIRIUS channels you listen to most, then captures content from your favorites and stores them in three different channels, which you listen to anytime you want. To avoid repetition, the S50 plays back the oldest content first."
