StarPlayr Sirius XM Player Coming To App Store

NiceMac is currently developing StarPlayr for the iPhone, an application that will allow XM/Sirius satellite radio on the iPhone without any hacking.

StarPlayr is currently available for Mac OS X and does a phenomenal job of streaming Sirius satellite radio. NiceMac aims to bring that same experience to the iPhone with StarPlayr for iPhone. The application is currently in the alpha stage, which translates to "still under development". The screenshots provide a good idea of what satellite radio owners can expect.

When logged into the service, StarPlayr displays the song and artist info, plus it has a view lyrics button and album artwork. According to the source, battery life is performing very well because the audio is in the iPhone's native format. Sirius offers free Internet streaming to its customers, but customers can also opt for a higher quality stream for a small monthly fee. If you aren't a current Sirius customer, you can also opt for Internet only option, something that might be worth it once StarPlayr becomes official.

While the developer has plans to offer StarPlayr in the App Store, it still would have to go through Apple's approval process.
