Too Few XM Radio Presets - Suggestions?

I have an '05 TL (Navi) with XM Radio. It appears that I can only have two 6 station presets for XM.

This is way too few presets (12). If I could place all of the XM stations I would listen to on XM presets, I would probably listen to at least 30 XM stations. Now, I have to limit my XM stations to 12 (since it is a pain in the neck to tune into stations that are not on your presets).

Is there any suggestions?

I second that advice. The voice command is a terrific feature for XM. If you know 30 favorite channel numbers by memory, you're all set. Turn off the confirmation feature and say "XM Channel XX" and I find it works every time. Almost as fast as the presets.

That's the drawback. It'll be great if you have a good memory. Other than that we're limited to 12 presets.

Organize your presets by type (Rock, Latin, etc.) the use the tuning wheel to go thru the group. At least it gets you close.

Either by type or by closeness numerically (usually the same thing but not always) If you have three or four favorite stations in a row, format a button for the one in the middle, then one or two steps on the dial will get you to the others as well.
