I was just notified that there’s a new version of the StarPlayr app (currently private, but soon to be launched in the iTunes App Store). Features now include:

  • Mini guide: what’s playing on a channel before you tune in
  • New views / animations for lyrics and album art
  • Artist / title scrolling animation
  • More responsive stream start/stop
  • Hold to set / unset presets
  • Sortable presets
  • Auto mute when headphone or headset is removed
  • Shake to shuffle all channels, presets, or off
  • Auto tune to last channel on startup
  • Sound effects
  • Time played

Stay tuned, satellite radio subscribers! This is already one AMAZING app!

Since purchasing the Acura RL, I’ve become an XM subscriber. Having satellite radio at my mobile fingertips has proven to be a wonderful luxury! For the most part, I remain tuned into the comedy channels (namely, XM Channel 150). The holidays are coming, and XM has responded with a set of Holiday music channels:

  • Holly (XM 103) has “Contemporary holiday hits are sprinkled in with more traditional favorites.” I’ll probably stick with this one, by and large.
  • Holiday Traditions (XM 104) has “Traditional recordings from the ’40s through the ’60s will keep you swinging through the holidays.” Here’s my second choice for XM radio holiday music.
  • Music City Holiday (XM 105) has “Country’s biggest superstars sing contemporary and traditional holiday hits.” I’m never touching this channel. Ever.
  • Classical Christmas (XM 106) has “Traditional carols sung by the greatest classical musicians of all-time.” Yeah, maybe if I get bored.
  • Special X-mas (XM 107) claims that “This is the soundtrack to your dysfunctional family holiday.” Humor? Sign me up.

If I had to choose between the two satellite radio networks, I’d go with XM – hands down. Ponzi’s got Sirius in the car, and it just doesn’t have the “stuff” I care about most.
