We got XM Radio a few months ago with the Cube and Sara and I have fallen in love with the Serius XMU radio station which plays all sorts of amazing indie music. Despite the high quality service and great iPhone app, their online radio player leaves a lot to be desired. I decided to fix some things that I could with a greasemonkey script and bookmarklet. The short of it is you can launch XM Radio from your bookmarks toolbar and have it start playing on its own. Without this script, you have to go to XMRadio.com, click on listen online, click log in, log in, click launch player and click on your favorite station. This cuts the number of steps for this primary use case from 6 steps to 1 step. I created a combo bookmarklet/greasemonley script for launching XM. I saved the details for the script page on userscripts.org. You can see and install the script (and bookmarklet) here. P.S. A few weeks ago I updated my Filmwise Invisibles Answer Checker to actually work again after being dead for 2 years. Labels: coding, greasemonkey
