As you are probably aware, Pocket Tunes used to support playback of Sirius/XM stations, but recently it has stopped working.  In this article, I hope to shed a little light on what's going on.

In the past, Sirius/XM streams were provided in WMA format, which Pocket Tunes supported and was able to play back.

However, Sirius/XM have recently changed their streaming format to use Flash technology.  As you may know, Apple does not allow Flash on their devices.  Due to this, Pocket Tunes is no longer able to support playback of Sirius/XM stations.

Sirius/XM provide a free iPhone player that you may find useful.  You can get the free Sirius/XM player on the AppStore here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sirius-xm-premium-online/id317951436?mt=8

Pocket Tunes still provides access to tens of thousands of music, talk, police scanner, and other stations!  We are committed to continuing to update Pocket Tunes Radio to meet your needs.

We are saddened that Sirius/XM have decided to make this change as we at NormSoft are also Sirius/XM subscribers and have always enjoyed listening to their excellent stations using Pocket Tunes.
