StarPlayrX

Native macOS · Xtra channels · Free

Small Radio.
Big Waves.

StarPlayrX is back on the Mac! It's a true native Mac app, not a Mac Catalyst port, and it now plays the new SiriusXM Xtra channels too. Click the 📻 in your menu bar, pick a channel, and the music starts flowing, with the artist, song and album art right in front of you. Every control is built for VoiceOver, so everyone can tune in.

StarPlayrX for Mac menu bar window showing now playing, the color equalizer, channel search and the channel list

New in 1.1.3. Tear it off. Roll it up.

Drag the player off the menu bar and park it anywhere as its own window. Double-click the header to roll it up like a window shade, leaving just what's playing and a lava-lamp equalizer that moves with the music. Every move is animated, and on macOS 26 it's all Liquid Glass.
