Cool application for online listening: XM Tuner

[heyronnie]

<p>It's called &quot;Yahoo Widgets&quot;, which you can read all about here:</p><p><a href="http://widgets.yahoo.com/">http://widgets.yahoo.com/</a></p><p>Small programs which run on your desktop, spyware free.&nbsp; Anyway, someone wrote a widget so you can listen online without having to login with your password each time.&nbsp; Has an interface similar to WinAmp, with selectable presets.</p><p>Much better than XM's online player.</p><p>XM Tuner:</p><p><a href="http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38174">http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38174</a></p>

<p>By the way, you have to fiddle with it slightly to get it to work.</p><p>Just follow these simple steps:</p><p> Changed XM_Tuner.widget to XM_Tuner.zip. I Opened the file XM_Tuner.zip. I then Delete the .kon file with the &quot;~&quot; after the filename(it's dated 2/2006). I Closed the XM_Tuner.zip file and changed the file back to XM_Tuner.widget and then ran it!</p>

<p>...why not just use Xamp?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I have a Sirius subscription and there is a tuner for that as well.&nbsp; Plus there are a lot of cool little programs if you browse through the &quot;widgets&quot;.&nbsp; The XM widget is the only one that has to be modified.&nbsp; The rest work as soon as you download them.</p><p>I'll check out Xamp, though.</p>

I prefer XstreamXM over xAMP.

I tried all three. The XMstreamXm seems to be the best. This Widget thing has an association with Weather Bug, which is a know spyware carrier. I'd suggest you stay away from it. I've cleaned many computers that got swamped with spyware because of Weather Bug. <br />
