DESCRIPTION
StarPlayr2 is a new breed of Sirius Radio for the Mac. It has album art, an awesome user interface, the ability to record one station and play another. As a recording is finished, the stream is automatically converted from ASF to MP3 and can be played back in iTunes via the StarMP3 playlist. You can take your recordings with you on the road syncing to an iPod/iPhone any other PMP device that supports MP3. iCal automated recordings via supplied scripts. See NiceMac.com for more details.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.1.1: This is a test version to tell us some more info when StarPlayr2 cannot connect Sirius via the Login button. It will show what the error Message in the Alert. We have not been able to reproduce this error. We need user's help who are having problems track down this problem. This version also uses Nicemac.com for the tracker bandwidth. We'd like to see how it performs for this test version. This version was compiled on 10.5.4, but does not guarantee anything is fixed with the Login or connection issues with Mac OS X 10.5.4.

BOWLINGTON  Probably the best Sirius client available for Mac (and better than anything on PC).

Stable, fast, loaded with features and the price is right. If you have a Sirius radio and haven't been using your included Sirius Internet Radio account, you now have no reason not to use it.

One minor gripe that others have echoed is the frequency of updates. An automated system should be in place. But then again, it is better than not getting ANY updates from a product.  (Version 2.0.18.2)

NICOLASD  Easy there, Turbo.

my critique IS a feature request. there are a lot of beautifully designed FREE applications with developers who are dedicated to great user experience using the FREE Sparkle software updating framework for cocoa apps.

http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/

Adium

Transmission

Cyberduck

etc.

you mean to say these developers are less dedicated or passionate about making great software?

and if i want to complain about too-frequent updates, i will, as often as i want to. i've offered a great solution. just because microsoft and adobe's auto updaters suck doesn't mean StarPlayer's needs to.  (Version 2.0.18.1)

MILESLONG  Man, some people are never happy. People either complain that there aren't any updates and a product seems to be dead, or that it is updated too often.

Here is a news bulletin: If don't like to update a lot THEN DON'T. Use the same version for a month then update it and see if there is another new version.

When a FREE program like this is updated a lot to me it means that the developer really cares about their product. It mean they are passionate about it which usually means it becomes a great program in the end.

This is a very cool program, for free, with a developer who really wants to put out a great program, be happy about that. Critique it by giving feature requests and report bugs but don't slam the guy for trying to consistently making it the best it can be. 5 stars from me!

Just think if the clown who makes Acquisition and Xtorrent cared this much. That guy Watanabe is very talented and makes beautiful apps but has the worst attitude on the planet.

Just think if he had this developers passion and drive, how good would those two programs be now? Instead, they are all but dead and they are pay programs...  (Version 2.0.18)

NICOLASD  with all these updates, could the developer either update once a week or better yet, implement the sparkle framework for automatic updates (like Adium for example). thanks.  (Version 2.0.9)
