+1, excellent greasemonkey hack. :D

Hiwatt99, strange, not a big deal by any means, but when it creates the calendar based filename, it's naming them by the month of September (09), instead of October (10). I looked at your code in the post, and it looks right, so perhaps it's slightly different in the actual jar? Could it simply need an (add 1)>>?

That's an odd artifact of the Java Calendar class -- it returns 0-based months, i.e., 0...11. The point of using the date was just to ensure unique filenames, not to be an accurate timestamp. ;-) Just add one to the returned value if you want the correct date/time.

Now if I can just get Cooper's code to work it will all be moot...

At a forum member's request, I uploaded my hacked version (which saves the 'unknown' MP3s) here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=91MI1BR2

Sorry about the lamer download site, but hey, it's free.

For those like me that don't trust anonymous jars ;-), here are the changes:

utilSongInfo.java

import java.util.*;

// Change main c'tor:

public SongInfo(String artist, String title) {

if ( null == artist )

this.artist = "unknown";

else

this.artist = artist;

if ( null == title ) {

GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar();

this.title = "" +

gc.get(Calendar.YEAR) +

Util.fmt(gc.get(Calendar.MONTH),2) +

Util.fmt(gc.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH),2) +

Util.fmt(gc.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY),2) +

Util.fmt(gc.get(Calendar.MINUTE),2) +

Util.fmt(gc.get(Calendar.SECOND),2);

}

else

this.title = title;

}

...

add to util/Util.java:

public static String fmt(int i, int w) {

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

while (w-- > 0) {

sb.append( (char)('0' + (i % 10)) );

i /= 10;

}

sb.reverse();

return sb.toString();

}

The SWF is loading fine (probably redirected at pandora), but the 'artist' and 'title' parameters are no longer present, which is confusing 7.3 beta.

Another option might be to programatically follow the 'backstage' link and extract the <TITLE> text. I'm a flash dummy, though, so I have no clue how to do this.

I made a quick hack so that it will save MP3s as

unknown-<date to the second>.mp3

but this is obviously pretty weak. Anyone have any clues

about how to sort out the name and title?

[New version of Pandora?]

I suspect one or more of the strings in Constants.java need to be updated, but I don't know how the original author sussed out these values in the first place.

public static final String PARAM_ARTIST = "artist";

public static final String PARAM_ALBUM = "album";

public static final String PARAM_GENRE = "genre";

public static final String PARAM_COMMENT = "comment";

public static final String PARAM_YEAR = "year";

public static final String PARAM_TITLE = "title";

etc.

Is there a way to get this to work with an HTTP proxy (i.e., at work )?
