A system and method of monitoring Satellite Digital Audio Radio (SDAR) use in which a receiver records and stores radio-use parameters, such as a channel or song being listened to, a time a receiver is active and a signal quality and type in a flash memory. The memory can also be used to store and playback audio files. The user may be incentivised to connect to a central server to download audio material for free or at a discount, so that the stored radio use parameters can be uploaded and analyzed. The user may also be alerted when a preferred or pre-selected song or artist is available on another channel. The network connection may be via wireless access points, or suitable docking units. The receiver may also obtain and record geographical position information from a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) system, so as monitor reception type and quality by location.
