Thanks,
I tried it and prefer stream on for several reasons:
1. stream on has the artist/song alert

I can't remember the other reasons but I'll try both tomorrow and get better notes

Seems that I remember many people having on and off problems with Stream On. However to be totally fair, I've never used it. I like StarPlayr because of the cool interface and the ability to show the nice channels icons for the presets. I also appreciate the developers as they are staying on top of making any changes and fixes almost immediately when needed.

StarPlayr will be adding the artist/song alert feature eventually, after all this is still in an alpha version, but thus far has been very stable.

But it is good that we have a choice that meets our particular needs. I look foward to your comparison with the Stream On software since I've never personally used it. Honestly most of my streaming is done via my Stiletto SL2.

There is also Starplayr for us Mac users. It is great and I recommend it to all. You can record and send your recording directly to iTunes.

The windows version doesn't allow for recording. But then I use Replay AV for recording anyway, which automatically copies them into iTunes.

The only bad thing about StarPlayr is that it prompts for an update before it plays, on startup. I was using it as my alarm until I found that out the hard way. Thank God I work from home so I was the only person to know that I slept in.

Maybe we could suggest to them to disable the auto-update feature. Dave with Geeks seems to try his best when people make request.

I am going to invite Dave to start posting here once we get up and running fully.

Yes, he does seem very good about requests. I just never really thought about it until I saw this thread. You can tell that he is passionate about his work.

I didn't do my homework today but I am very much looking forward to the updates for the windows version. I've turned several people on to the Mac version and they love it.

Thank you for turning me on.......to the Starplayer. You and MM told me about it a lot. I love it. I don't use the recording feature much because Docking and recordning on my Stiletto 2 is just more my deal.
