it works over GPRS/EDGE even !

I use the player on the XM site and it works great especially when I travel for work. I spent the last two weeks in Taiwan and China and even in a more remote city in China (read, go back in time 70 years) I was able to get a high speed connection in the hotel room and listen to programing in the evening when there was not much to do otherwise.

There is a 'widget' xm tuner at Yahoo Widgets also.. search for 'xm tuner'
It works fine.. and is small on your screen. You need to load the widget engine for it to work..

The one that I use for XM is called XaMp.

There are two versions. XaMp Desktop (http://www.myxamp.com/) and XaMp Studio (http://xamp.imomo.net/about.php), which is still in beta version.

For me, the important thing that XaMp has done for me it that they have overriden the 1 hour shutdown if the computer is idle.

I have an XM stream running 24/7 on an old PC sitting in a closet, with an FM transmitter attached to it. I can listen to XM on any radio in my house just by tuning to 88.3. In order to do that with the default XM software, I needed to run a program that randomly moved and clicked a mouse every 10 seconds or so. But even that didn't work very well.

It's nice to have my standard clock radio turn on to an XM channel every morning.

And your neighbors thank you for the free XM.. :)

I'm going to give that program a shot. Thanks.

anyone know a way to listen to MLB Homeplate (channel 175) online?

I understand not including the national streams of things like ESPN radio or Fox Sports, but why can't we listen to MLB Homeplate?

I'd love to be able to put the baseball talk on in the background during my surfing.

yeah I use xstreamxm works great

Great idea. What FM transmitter do you use?
