Of course, I couldn't resist working on my own Sirius Satellite Radio "tuner" application. I've got it for PocketPC, Smartphone, and the Windows desktop (don't you love .NET?)
Right now, I'm only ready to release the Windows version, which is here.
Enjoy! (Remember, you need a Sirius online username/password to stream to your desktop).

do you have a running version for PocketPC yet?
Yes, I do ... just not sure how or if I want to release it. At the very least, I need to get one of my old PocketPCs charged up and running (I mostly use Smartphone myself these days), so I can do development on it and have some sane unit-testing before I give it out to my "beta" folks. That's why it is easier for me to do revs on the Windows version -- hate releasing something I can't directly test myself first.
I dont think the program is working properly since the sirius.com web site update. after a little use the list of channels clears and it says its downloading the channel list but never does.
This is fixed, you just got unlucky enough to grab the app during the day that it wasn't ;-)
Is ther a new version that works with the latest sirius web site update??
I haven't had time to work on an update since Sirius broke us again :-(
I think the latest version will work; however, the Sirius servers have locked me out for the today because I logged on too many times during testing ;-) ... so stay tuned for tomorrow if you aren't willing to try it yourself.
Does this sirius software work under Windows 98 or ME?
I don't know. Try it and see.
Why can't I see the comedy, talk and news channels?
Sirius only streams Out Q and no other talk or news
Okay, I see that on the channels now. One more question. How often do the channels update? The list always appears to be wrong. When I click a channel, it is playing something different then what is listed.
Keep up the good work.
I get the song info from two sources. The first is a website run by a guy who is just getting the songs from a homebrew hookup that scans all the channels and updates the songs. So it can be up or down, spot-on or totally wrong. It gets behind sometimes. The second source is from the song stream itself. This is generally more accurate, although Sirius only sends the information as "closed captioning" at the beginning of each song. So if you miss it, you'll be behind until the next song starts. Both methods, of course, also depend on the stations actually broadcasting the correct data, which they generally do but sometimes don't.
I should also note that the second method also only works for stream you're actively listening to. Otherwise, I'd have to open streams to all of the channels at once, which wouldn't be very nice for your bandwidth usage.
any chance for a Mac version of Siriusly?
thanks!
No Mac version, at least by me!
This is pretty cool.. As a developer I have always wanted to do something as kool as this... Any posibilty this being a "open source" project?
Ok...I Give up. Any chance to be directed to documentation on "Siriusly"?? I LOVE This app. It's the only one that seems to consistentaly work at my office (Behind a firewall). Dave...you ROCK!!
What docs do you need? It's a pretty simple app, what you see (hear) is pretty much what you get.
Dave,
I've been looking for something to play Sirius on my Dell Axim pocket pc... I would love if you could post the app that you've got- I'd gladly beta test it for you.
Dave,
I havent' been able to log into Sirius using your "Siriusly" program for the past 2 days. I can log in using the Sirius.com site. Did something change when they added the new channels?
Any ideas?
I was wondering if you could just add a minimize to tray feature... would be nice to have it open, but not on the taskbar.
Great work, I like the app way more than the generic player Sirius provides.. (Plus IE crashes to hard sometimes...)
Can this app be made to work with windows media connect to stream to a media player like soundbridge
Great app! Anyone looking for a pocket pc app try siriusce.
