Just wanted you to know your not crazy. XM is hit or miss with the media player. I don't think the problem is the player its because of the way the session is handled with the XM player. I believe it is creating a session for you and because the playback isn't starting right away its being denied. I tried to get on the Loft and it worked. Stopped it went back in and it no longer worked. I just keep retrying until I get it and leave it on as long as I can ;-). Let me know if you find the trick.
