Sci Pie?
No sipie (pronounced Sci Pie) is not a new weight loss plan, or a cybernetic pastery. It is however an excelent way to get Sirius XM on your computer. You can of course listen to Sirius XM on line using their web player, but what if you want something less cumbersom, eaiser to use, and without all the “Are you there?” Pop-ups? Well if your on a linux box there is sipie.
From their site: “Pronounced SY PIE, like “sirius python”, sipie is a on line player for Sirius online Internet streaming. It requires a login to Sirius’s streaming, and both guest and subscriber logins are supported. It provides the a back end and a cli and gui.” Basicaly all that means is you install sipie and get a nice usable program that can be run from a script or as a standalone app.
The install is simple:
sudo python uninstall.py BeautifulSoup #if it is installed you will need the easy_uninstall.py script. wget http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/download/3.x/BeautifulSoup-3.0.7.tar.gz tar zxvf BeautifulSoup-3.0.7.tar.gz cd BeautifulSoup-3.0.7 sudo python setup.py install sudo apt-get install mplayer python-setuptools python-wxgtk2.6 wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sipie/Sipie-0.1196144357.tar.gz?use_mirror=hivelocity tar -xzvf Sipie-0.1196144357.tar.gz cd Sipie sudo easy_install .
That’s it. After that your good to go, and typing sipie at bash prompt will ask your a few questions like user name, password, if your Canadian, and for capatha verification. Once entered the values are stored an you should never have to enter them again. Just run sipie.py and enjoy the music and talk.
