The Sonos Controller [iTunes link] recently released an update for iPhone 3.0 and is available on the App Store. This app works seamlessly with the online music services including Deezer, Last.fm, Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody and Sirius.

The free upgrade brings all of the features of the Sonos CR200 Multiroom Music System Controller to the iPhone controller for the Sonos BU250 Multiroom Music System. One of these features includes the “Info View” command. This new feature (accessed using the “i” button on the Now Playing screen) allows you to discover even more music via the various music services available on Sonos.

Sirius XM streaming the tunes

As a Car Company, Sirius XM may have had a bad year revenue wise. Nevertheless, the Radio side to the organisation is looking forward to releasing a music streaming application in the second quarter of 09.

During a conference call that discussing the forth quarter loss of more than $245 million, Sirius XM executives CFO David Frear, CEO Mel Karmazin and operations and sales chief Jim Meyer all made references to the upcoming iPhone application. The app will stream music through the Sirius Xm’s satellite radio service over WiFi or cellular data networks.

The app too has sparked thoughts that Sirius XM might be looking towards an Internet based radio service. At this point, the cost of, availability, time frame and access to the app is not clear. Again, thoughts lean towards the service being bundled in with subscriptions. My decision will all depend on whether the tunes are any good…
