If you use Sirius or XM, and are as frustrated with the latest version of the web player as I am, then you’ll want to give this app a look: http://www.xmtuner.net
Install this, and configure it with your Sirius or XM Account Info. Once it is properly configured and the service is running, you will see an XMTuner icon in your system tray. Right click this icon, select “what’s on’, and bingo! Up comes a fully accessible web based channel guide and player, better than the official Sirius player ever was. There will be two links for each channel. If you click the channel number, you are taken to that channel’s page on Siriusxm.com. If you click the play link, the channel will begin streaming via Windows Media player. XMTuner can apparently do other cool stuff, like stream Sirius or XM to other devices such as xbox 360, Playstation 3, etc., but the accessible web interface in and of itself makes it more than worth the download. I’m going to contact the author to express my appreciation, and encourage him not to do anything that would break this excellent UI.

Actually, I can add one that's even better...XM Tuner is pretty much on hold for now until the author can get it fixed. You can log in but since Sirius XM change their program lineup a lot of the channels are different and you can't receive all te channels. So someone on the XM tuner website recommended a program called Sirius XM Tuner. So I trid it and it's the real deal. I've found that it's very usable with wineyes, although one JAWS user I spoke to said that it repeatedly spoke the time that she was connected to a particular channel so if you experience that and know a fix for it I hope it can be osted here. Just google Sirius XM Streamer and it should be one of the first results you get. Very nice and accessible! I can listen to all my fave XM Sirius Channels again, yay, O & A!
i cant play any of the channels i am logd in but i cant play any thing
