Reading some of the comments, I think some people misunderstood WHAT is being reviewed in this article. The article is reviewing a Yahoo Widget Sirius Player. This is NOT a Sirius product and IS FAR SUPERIOR to the player Sirius provides for use online. I LOVE this Widget. It's like having a Stiletto Sirius Player (which I can't afford) on my computer. This thing plays BETTER that the cheap Sirius radio I have in my car! One thing I am trying to find an answer to is when I click widget preferences for the Sirius WIDGET, I do not see the same options as depicted in the image in the above article. All I see listed in my preferences windows is 'Sirius' (the screen to enter username/password/location, Colors and Window. Does anyone know how to access the options shown in this article or have those features been disabled in newer versions? Are there more than one version of the Sirius Satellite Widget by Tanner J? I've combined the Yahoo Widget with an audio stream capture program called Free Hi-Q Recorder. It uses the audio card to capture any stream/audio source and now I can capture any Sirius stream of 'unlimited length' and download it to an mp3 player for uninterrupted listening in my vehicles that don't have Sirius. I'm in audio media heaven. Death to terrestrial radio. Mwahahahahahaha! 737865@blogcritics.org Thu, 7 Aug 2008 12:02:58 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/09/171158.php#comment-698259 Pretty cool. I like it! Thanks for this site. I had the same issue with sirius online flahs player until I got this widget. I'm gonna also try the internet player the guy pointed out before me. BTW. Do you know that you can record your programs pretty much like Tivo does. You will need some free prog to do that though. I am using simple radio recorder. I don't know the link. you can Google it. cheers :) 698259@blogcritics.org Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:09:46 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/03/09/171158.php#comment-591169 There is something else now called the Sirius Internet Radio Player. It is available for IE, Firefox, Windows Messenger, and Media Player. The IE/Firefox ones are more or less a standalone application. It takes a WHILE to log in for some reason on my computer, but after that it streams pretty cleanly. If you subscribe to the higher bandwidth feed it supports that. The Firefox version does not log in automatically, the IE one does. For that reason I use the IE one. I tried the Media Player one also but I thought inside Media Player it was clunky. 591169@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 May 2007 14:25:15 EDT
