Yep they apparently got a cease and desist letter from Sirius's Legal Team!

This really sucks for all of us.

I just checked my Starlight for Sirius and my StarlightXM for both and they say "Client version no longer supported. You must upgrade."

My Starplayr2 for Mac still works however.

I still have the .dmg file for it version 2.1 (that records) any Mac user who wants it.

Who knows how longer it will work.

I will try to find out why and what is going on.

Same here, but obviously this won't be the case for long.

Isn't it also possible that SiriusXM is partering with them in developing their "official" applications?

What a damn shame. My starplayr says their stream service will be turned off on the 10th. It's been fun listening...Another reason to cancel both services and rely on Slacker. Even Howie isn't worth the BS we have been through, as SIR/XM is quickly becoming irrelavant IMHO.

I'm using my StarPlayr for Windows and it says

The StarPlayr Project Has Ended and Will Be Turned Off 3.10.2009

No, or else their current PR would be something much different. No they got a cease and desist there is little doubt about it.

The sad part is that Sirius will no doubt put out a application, but it probably won't be nearly as good.

I think if they had been smart they would have tapped these guys to take over the project, but I am sure they would want to be paid.

The bottom line is we don't know what went on behind the scenes and since neither party is talking, we'll never really know.
