We’re always using the highest-bandwidth stream available, and I don’t envision changing this. For 99.999% of users, that’s just going to be clutter and confusion.

Turning off the levels will likely be possible in the future. We also need to optimize them a bit.

Marco Arment: Pulsar and Audio Hijack Pro will certainly be made to work together a bit more, so stay tuned.

Dewayne Adams, Globalrambler, Bill in St. Louis: Sadly, Pulsar on the iPhone would need a near-complete re-write (instead of just a port). It’s unlikely this will happen any time soon.

Keith Whitney, scott, Adam Small, Steve Daly, wristshot, John: If you haven’t yet, you should contact support for help. As for the Connection Refused issue, restarting the base station is the only known fix that we know of currently.

Jon, Mark Wickens: Canada will be supported in a future update.

DaftDoki: You need to follow our weblog more! See this post for good news.

Jocelyn: Alas, XM doesn’t provide us this artwork. We’d need to get it from somewhere else, such as Amazon. I doubt this will happen, but we’ll see.

BM5k: Your search is actually “Filter”, and it’s on the list to consider. A program guide, however, is unlikely to come to Pulsar. We’ll see what happens in the future!

Chuck: AHP and Pulsar currently don’t do much together, but they will. As for Airfoil for the iPhone, see this post.

evan: These are two distinct apps because they’re very different things. Building in Airfoil’s functionality, well, it’d raise the price tag. We’ll see what happens though.

jauto1: Pulsar is for the Mac because we’re a Mac software company. We have no plans for a PC version. Sorry!

MadMongoose: As noted, we’re always using the highest-quality you have available.

davew: We’re actually using a completely different port (554) than other players, so this may well be a firewall issue. Contact us for further support.

Adam Small, davew: We’ll need to get more info on this, definitely, but check your settings for port 554.

dgarozzo: As above, we’re always getting the highest available. As for AppleScripting, we’ll see what happens.

rigelian, TOny: The Public Preview doesn’t seem to track audio device changes properly. Watch for an update on this.

f00fighter: It sounds like the Compact view would be useful for you. As far as other UI tweaks, we’ll see what happens. We’re trying to keep things simple.

We hope to make each row clickable, and drop the play buttons altogether.

Buffering is unlikely, but we’ll see.

Remembering the view is a bug we’ll need to fix.

Dustin: We’ve heard requests for a compact favorites. I’m not sure how best to allow for that, if at all. We’ll see.

suckeffect: As noted above, we’re using different ports than other players, so in different situations, different players will work. We’ll need more details to see if we can figure out what’s up – contact us directly.

Kevin: As noted, this indicates a router issue. Restart your Airport Base Station, and you should be fine, for now.

SK: Yes, lots of people use 10.4, but at this point, we need technologies from Mac OS X 10.5. Sorry – if you find you need software that’s 10.5 only, you’ll likely need to upgrade your OS.

Stream Playback Error: Connection Refused.

Just fyi, love the software!

One oddity: Pulsar doesn’t want to connect from my work network. It loads the channel list but once I click a channel I get the error: StreamPlaybackError: WindowsMedia: Received bad network reply” Oddly StarlightXM (the other Mac XM app) works just fine under the same network.
