Listen to Sirius or XM satellite radio on your device
Submitted Tuesday, January 29, 2008
With a subscription to Sirius or XM satellite radio, the proper software, and a live Internet connection, you can listen to commercial-free music and other satellite radio programming on your touch screen device. Here’s how you do it.
Sirius subscribers
- Download Sirius WM5 at geekstoolbox.com and install it on your device. It acts as a front-end for Windows Media Player.
- Enter your login name and password in the program’s Settings menu and tap Save.
- Select the channel you want to listen to, enter the “captcha” text that appears under the text box, and tap OK (or Play). Note that the song data (artist/title) is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
XM subscribers
- Open Internet Explorer (NetFront and Opera Mobile are also supported) and go to xstreamxm.com/mobile.
- From here, enter your login data and choose a channel and bit rate (speed).
- Tap Go at the bottom.
- A page will appear displaying the currently playing song and other data. This program also uses Windows Media Player, which is open in the background.
