Sirius Satellite Radio On Your Pocket PC
While XM Satellite Radio currently has two handheld devices for live portable listening, the Inno and Helix, Sirius has . . . wait for it . . . none. Alright, Sirius has the S50, but it can’t receive live broadcasts and that’s the whole point. However, if you have a Pocket PC device with any kind of broadband connection, you can take advantage of SiriuCe to get your music fix. Granted, SiriuCE doesn’t magically turn your handheld into a satellite receiver, but it does allow you to easily tap into Sirius’ Internet radio stream for playback on the go. An ideal companion for the software is a Pocket PC Phone with a high-speed data connection.
The software provides the interface for accessing the audio streams, and then relies on your choice of Windows Media Player 10 or TCPMP to provide playback duties. While SiriuCE has been available for some time, it was recently updated to solve some compatibility issues with Sirius, and to implement support for the aforementioned TCPMP. Since this isn’t true satellite radio, the restrictions Sirius has on their Internet streams still apply. Therefore no talk radio for you Howard Stern fans, no news and no sports programming.
While the main focus of this article has been software for Sirius, there are similar options for XM as well. A freeware application is XstreamXM, with the flipside being Pocket XM which is available for purchase. It should go without saying that you must be a subscriber to the respective satellite service for any of these options to work.
