Did anyone know this account is on bugmenot?

In the new version it's always created, no matter what you set in the path setting; see my settings here.

The station thing is ok for me if I'm not the only one where it's not working What about the "mp3" directory? Can I avoid that somehow?

As for the second issue: while I wrote that pandora's jar kept running and I found that the error message only prevented the first file from beeing ripped/saved. The consecutive files are saved in D:/saved_mp3/mp3/UNKNOWN STATION/Artist - title.mp3

Yes, this seems to work, thanks. Two more things: I have this in my default.properties mp3.archive.path=D:/saved_mp3/ filename.format=/%a - %t This leads to files like this: D:/saved_mp3/mp3/Artist - title.mp3 Where does the part "mp3" come from? Is it hardcoded? I tried to avoid this and played around, so I set filename.format to "/%s/%a - %t". Now instead of D:/saved_mp3/mp3/<stationname>/Artist - title.mp3 or D:/saved_mp3/<stationname>/Artist - title.mp3 I get the error message "unable to rip MP3 unable to find file make sure you have Pandora running in a FIRFOX browser". I thought %s is supposed to be the name of the Pandora station I'm ripping from, not so?

Here is the full error code. If it's of interest: I'm running Java 6. 12-30@18:59:00 INFO Thread-2 util.Util - SongInfo{album='null', artist='The Alan Parsons Project', title='Damned If I Do', trackNumber='null', year='null', lable='null', genre='null', station='null', notag_md5='<somenumber>'} 12-30@18:59:00 INFO Thread-2 server.Server - unable to rip MP3 java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 at java.lang.String.substring(Unknown Source) at util.Util.createSongHierarchy(Util.java:106) at util.Mp3Processor.getDestinationFile(Mp3Processor.java:334) at util.Mp3Processor.saveMP3(Mp3Processor.java:300) at servlet.ProcessAction.handleMP3Request(ProcessAction.java:91) at server.Server.handleHTTPRequest(Server.java:110) at server.Server.run(Server.java:83) 12-30@18:59:00 INFO Thread-2 server.Server - unable to rip MP3 String index out of range: -1

Two updates: The settings storage really was a cookie problem on my side (deleting all cookies on closing the browser was set), sorry for that. But the new version still doesn't rip. I'm still getting the String index out of range error. Clicking on "grab this track" doesn't help; the app hangs at "Fetching ID3 information and tagging MP3 for artist and song" and the java window says "unable to rip MP3 String index out of range: -1". I found the old working version in a backup, it's from Dec-03. With the old version still everything works.

Thanks, I installed the new version. Improvement: now the settings are stored properly Drawback: It won't rip MP3s anymore :-( The log file says Thread-2 server.Server - unable to rip MP3 java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1 Unfortunately I replaced the old jar with this one so I don't have a backup. What was the version before your latest one? Can you point me to a download location?

So I'm running this latest 7.9.0 beta or something which calls itself 7.4.0. Works great with Flashswicher and Noscript as suggested here, nice work! Somethimes the artist/title does not match the file but this is a rare issue, I can live with that. I noticed that I have to enter my pandora username and set cruise control to "on" (whatever that setting means) to make the automatic ripping work. What bothers me a little is that even when I click on "Save settings" after a restart I have to enter all those things again. Is there a "Load settings" that I missed? Should this work automatically?

another one is http://www.channelsurfing.net/ free free :D

Brilliant app this is. 8) My request for the next version if there will be another ver, would be to have an "Mp3 Folder Size" setting. Optional of course, if you want them all in one folder, you can do that too. Example - When Mp3 folder becomes xxx MB in size, create MP3#2 folder until MP3#2 folder becomes xxx MB in size, then create MP3#3 folder until xxxMB in size ect. For those of us with smaller mp3 players (mines only 256 mb..), it would save a lot of hassle having to make sure we dont have too many mp3's a folder. Just a suggestion, but for me (and maybe a few others?), it would help a lot. Anyway, nice work, thanks for sharing. :D

The audioscrobbler wiki says that the current protocol is 1.1 The timeformat is correct, but the timezone shuld be set to UTC.

Last.FM has released yesterday a new Flash-Player for their radio-streams. The mp3´s and a playlist xml-file are stored in the same folder as for pandora. Can you implement a feature to save and tag the mp3 from last.fm streams too?

I got mine working by throwing the 7.4 pandora.jar in with the rest of the 7.3 stuff and changing the PandoraEvents stuff to PandoraEventsv2. It can grab music again, but at some point stopped being able to grab album artwork. Anybody figure out how to get that working again?

Thanks technoboy. Confirm that, with Flash 9 you don't get the files in the plugtmp directory. I've downgraded to Flash 8 and everything seems to be business as usual.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it looks like pandora is no longer cacheing the mp3s in the temp directory. I've had a look at all the places I thought it coulda gone to but with no success. Usually you'd find plugtmp or similar in your %temp% directory. Now it doesn't seem to be anywhere. I also watched the memory usage of firefox for a little bit and it seems to keep going up when pandora was running, the second you close the pandora tab, the memory usage plummets. Could it be that they're cacheing in memory?

People give me their USB sticks with all kinds of interesting stuff on them so that I can give them a file. They watch over my shoulder to make sure I dont copy any of their files to my HDD. What I need is a prog that automatically dumps USB memory stick contents to a hidden folder in a very hidden way as soon as I plug in the drive. Then afterwards I can just browse through what they had at my leisure. Anyone know how?

you fail
