Mini-mode: Pulsar does not currently have a mini-mode. This is a Public Preview, meaning there are some rough edges. Quentin will likely talk more about AHKit2 in a future blog post, but that’s part of why Pulsar is a preview release – this is our first product shipping with this major new code. Pulsar is also a testing ground for some exciting new technology, AHKit2, that will be powering many of our products in the future.

There are still several things that keep this from being a full 1.0, so we’re keeping the Public Preview tag, but we believe it’s very solid. I say originally, because we kept finding and fixing issues on our own. This is something of a difficult application to test, and to find testers for, and we felt a Public Preview would serve us well. We originally planned to release Pulsar earlier, knowing it likely had bugs but desiring to get it into users’ hands. Pulsar complements these applications very well, and we’re certainly hoping Pulsar will encourage sales of Airfoil and Audio Hijack Pro. Others want to record content to listen to on an iPod, and Pulsar works great with Audio Hijack Pro. Using our own Airfoil with Pulsar, this is a snap. We felt this was a niche we could fill well, with our own client.įurther, many users wish to listen to satellite radio around their house – through an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or even other computers. However, listening via a web browser is less than ideal, and existing third party clients also left something to be desired. So, why did we make a satellite streaming radio client? Most XM and SIRIUS subscribers have access to this content online, through the companies’ websites. You can read more about Pulsar here and download it immediately here.

Better yet, if you’ve got a license for any of our current Mac OS X products, you can receive a complimentary license for Pulsar here. These licenses will of course work on Pulsar 1.0 when it arrives as well. While in Public Preview, Pulsar can be purchased for an introductory price of just $15.

In trial mode, the quality of audio played by Pulsar will degrade after 20 minutes. Like all our Mac OS X software, Pulsar is downloadable as a free trial.

Pulsar itself requires Mac OS X 10.5 or higher and you’ll need to have a subscription to XM Radio Online or SIRIUS Internet Radio to tune in 1. In a few words, Pulsar is a desktop client for listening to XM Radio Online and SIRIUS Internet Radio, the internet streaming services provided by XM and SIRIUS satellite radio.įirst, let’s get the important information out of the way. Today, we’re happy to finally be releasing Pulsar: Public Preview edition. We got some interesting and amusing guesses as to what it might be, but no one nailed it. Just before Christmas, we teased our newest product, Pulsar. Posted By Paul Kafasis on January 2nd, 2009
