Listen to and pause satellite radio from SiriusXM.
If you subscribe to SiriusXM in the US or to either Sirius or XM in Canada, you can get online access to premium radio content. Unfortunately, tuning in with a browser is clunky at best. With Pulsar and an online satellite radio account, you can access all this great content directly from your desktop!
Pulsar is a great little program (Mac only) that lets you stream a Sirius XM online account through an application rather than your browser - a better UI, and has pause and rewind. Also some limited controls from the dock - pause, mute, next, etc.
Cons
Nothing really, but it would be nice for them to add some more dock controls - or at least perhaps "Now Playing."
Summary
Simple and effective

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I recently purchased XM Online and could not get audio through my mac. After a week of exhaustive troubleshooting with XM, I decided to check if anyone made their own interface, and was lucky enough to run across Pulsar. One minute later I was up and running! Looks great and, more importantly, works great. Best $15 I ever spent!
Thanks for such a great product!!

Super easy to download and use...love the graphics...and so far it has worked perfectly every time.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to listen to their satellite radio online!
Get this...you'll be glad you did.
Man, this program stinks.

Pros
Easy to install/set-up
Cons
After 20 minutes it sounds like you're listening to music in a wind-tunnel. Awful sound quality.

Wow!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Once I realized the difference between my 'XM' and 'XM online' accounts, it works great. Using with Airfoil to stream "the 70's" throughout the house!
