I haven't been listening very long but I have added a lot of the old school to my custom station and the only group I haven't been able to find anything from is the novelty group Bobby Jimmy and the Critters. At first I thought Boogie Boys was missing but their songs show up to add just not the group itself.

I'm in the same boat with my XM Radio. Thats why i am looking into Slacker now. Been listening to it for the past couple of days and its almost got me sold. They really need a car kit for the G2.

The old school library is WAY deeper than Backspin ever went. Super Rappin #1 from Grandmaster Flash is there, Jazzy Sensation from the Jazzy 5, Funky Four, Sugar Hill Gang, Treacherous Three, The Crash Crew, etc.. also, most of the songs are the long 12 inch versions, not the shortened radio versions they played on Backspin.

There are a few artists I havent been able to find but most of them only put out like one 12 inch and were never heard from again like The Fearless Four, Count Coolout and Mean Machine, just to name a few.
