Linux is for those who want to know why their computer works.

Sirius's radio interface doesn't work on Linux. It uses some heavy proprietary WMP coding in the web interface.

Thank you sarumont. I will look into that. Btw, you said Sirius does not but did not say any thing about XM. Does XM work? Either way I give shoutcast a go and see..
Why you? Its not for every one. Why me? Same reason I pay for satellite tv.. Originally Posted by loft306 Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Well, if I followed that logic I'd be subscribing to sattelite radio because regular radio doesn't offer service in my area.... Originally Posted by daemonOS

I got Sirius, came free with my satellite tv. I don't know anything about making it work with Linux, though, except that you could plug the receiver's speaker (or line preferably) out into the sound card in...
