Sirius XM player coming to App Store

[gadgetdad]

Something will come out. On that day I will get to remove the duct tape that holds my iPhone and Helio together. Hate carring 2 units.

I just set my Mac up and now I am going through finding out the different growing pains I'll be having...and listening to Sirius is one of them. I listen to it constantly while on the computer (have 2 accounts with them). Am I correct that I cannot listen to it all through my mac???? This makes no sense. I can't even listen to it through firefox and I certainly could do that on my PC.

I listen on my mac both through Sirius.com and Starplayr.

Just search sirius app for mac. I think if u go on apple.com and search Sirius you can find it. I listen everyday to howard on my mac. It's there.

Ok, I tried downloading a couple of different players...now they are vexing my machine... I went to sirius.com and it looked like it was trying to play but...no music. Maybe something else is wrong?

Looks like a Sirius/XM player is currently being beta-tested:

I am licking my chops at this app. Right now, I'm only able to listen to Opie & Anthony on AOL Radio until 9, and then I'm screwed after that when they sachet over to XM.

With this app I'll be able to go to one place and get all of the goodness, and no dumps from the CBS side!

I was starting to look into the XMp3 player for portable, but scratch that. I'll just continue using my SkyFi antique even longer.

how do you beta test an app? doesnt it have to be installed through phone or itunes?
I personally don't think this will be released anytime soon. THere are to many licensing issues and I thing sirius/xm would have to get involved to make this thing available, no?

 

[gadgetdad]

I believe they can send you an .ipa file that you can import into iTunes and sync to your iPhone.

Isn't it already being done on the desktop outside of XM's or Sirius' Web sites? I'm not sure what the differences for this would be, you're still accessing it with your Web account that you're paying for, it's just that it's portable.

Licensing would come into play if you could record, pause, rewind, etc...but if you're merely streaming it by using your paid-for login, what's the harm? Besides hurting portable sales I suppose...but there are pros and cons to that too.

Nice to see I'm not the only O&A fan on here by the way!

the one major difference is you don't have to get approval from microsoft to install a program on your computer. You do with apple.

And I don't mind keeping it that way, despite having to wait.

You know.. "garbage in, garbage out".

NiceMac is made up of 4 members all of which have always been die-hard fans of Sirius and XM. Over the years we have individually contributed to the ad-hoc player offerings available for Sirius XM internet content. Last year, we all had the fortune of crossing paths at which time we decided to band together and focus on helping deliver Sirius XM content to subscribers everywhere and anywhere.

As of yesterday, the uSirius StarPlayr Application for iPhone still had a status of "In Review" with Apple. Late last night, we became aware that the application could not be approved at this time.

As fans, we are committed to continuing to work with all parties involved as necessary in any capacity required to see this product to market. It is our goal, as it has always been, to release this application at as low of a price point as possible, if not free of charge.

We thank all of our supporters and users of our current offerings, as well as those who have been patiently waiting and Beta testing while we work to bring uSirius StarPlayr for iPhone to market.

Sincerely,

The NiceMac Team
