    Ethical (Raw) Time-Shifting

    in Pandora Timeshifting

    Posted

    Of course, i prefer to have the .MP3 tags myself since that's essential

    for a better exploration of Pandora's continuous musical entertainment;

    maybe there could be multiple levels of functionality to this project:

    i'd rather choose the option to time-shift something than nothing at all.

    Somebody has mentioned slacker-dot-com recently and radioblogclub.com

    already got its FireFox add-on, the modular approach might help to gather

    supplementary resources to replace Last.FM and/or CDDB when they fail...

    So, far from having a definite position i actually welcome feed-back!

    :-)

    I wonder, wouldn't it be good enough if we just captured the files with their

    meaningless alphanumeric names and no .MP3 tagging at all?  After all, who's

    looking at their player's display every three minutes or so just to learn a title

    and a name?  Perhaps we should try to break this problem into small chunks:

    phase one would be about raw capture, phase two would be optional and

    attempt to match the cover picture with its song while phase three pushes

    identification to full completion but using ressources external to Pandora...

    If Pandora is satisfied that most people will settle for raw time-shifting then

    this project might become somewhat more viable, who knows?  Being a

    minority among a minority should make the phase three guys negligeable.

    Heavy speakers may appear to be fused to the building's structure because of weight,

    some people add bricks to "feel" the music (and pester their neighbours) so the opposite

    might help here it that applies:  uncouple the speakers from the floor, walls, whatever...

    Pandora.com blocks international listeners.

    Hi Charakter_Baby,

    I got TOR working with a large pool of USA proxies

    and Pandora's Jar proxy on top of TOR.  A pair of

    Flash Player binaries are installed in FireFox and

    i had started testing two more which are patched

    to disguise their real version, etc., but i still

    can't use the grab button at the end of the day:

    i can only listen and copy music files manually

    from the temporary directory.  I've based my late

    efforts on Pandora's Jar v8.1 but there was no joy

    yet...  This is a Linux Live CD module and no one

    seems ready to take over, even if everything else

    has been settled anyway.  All i can offer is a CD

    that boots Linux and lets you listen to Pandora;

    well, ony the Slax module, actually - but it's a

    piece of cake to add to some regular Slax/NimbleX

    .ISO image file before you burn it.  8-)

    Over 250 reads later you'd be the 1st to ask about

    it, even if i made it fully bilingual since august:

    How do i debug Pandora's Jar?

    Hi,

    I had a thought which woke me up:  it should be possible to define

    variables from what's written in a text unless they're already set.

    Lets suppose TMP and/or TEMP are pre-defined, there's no need

    to read the configuration file unless a switch specifically requires

    Pandora's Jar to do so, though if both are absent then there's no

    other choice but to read the configuration file to find some value.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your support!  I'd like to help, i sort

    of wonder what happens if 'NPSWF32.dll' is patched,

    for example at location #191DB8)h for the version

    found in the 'chromeplugins9.0 r45NPSWF32.dll'

    file of 'Flash Switcher v1.0.0' (2115816 Bytes and

    dated 2007-Mar-28 1:04)...  It would look like this

    using hexadecimal edition tools ('XVi32', whatever):

    [tt]191DB0  50 6C 75 67 49 6E 00 00 57 49 4E 20 39 2C 30 2C  PlugIn  WIN 9,0,

    191DC0  34 35 2C 30 00 00 00 00 41 3D 25 62 26 53 41 3D  45,0    A=%b&SA=[/tt]

    The Linux version is slightly different, of course:

    [tt]5D53E0  72 65 6E 74 00 5F 66 6C 61 73 68 00 4C 4E 58 20  rent _flash LNX

    5D53F0  39 2C 30 2C 34 38 2C 30 00 2E 73 63 72 6F 6C 6C  9,0,48,0 .scroll[/tt]

    Hummm...  But i guess those are digitally signed...

    Hi,

    I never seen references to the Slax/NimbleX file

    structure in that file and it appears i found why:

    despite all my efforts to adapt the .sh script for

    OS X, it turns out my TMP and TEMP environment

    variables are short lived and vanish once i close

    the console window where i tried to define them.

    I couldn't find a way to start Pandora's Jar then

    FireFox from the same script so that means there

    is no TMP/TEMP environment variable for FireFox

    and the suite to be found - but i'll work on it.

    Perhaps it would help if we could define the

    temporary path manually;  the FireFox cache path

    is something else because it keeps changing all

    the time from one session to the next so this

    should be done using JAVA/JavaScript launched

    after FireFox is loaded, i suppose.  Oh, by the

    way...  Can you suggest tools to edit the Flash

    Switcher add-on and attempt to make it work with

    my Linux Live CD setup?  Everything including

    bilingual support is OKay if we except the Grab

    button of Pandora's Jar and Flash Switcher - i'd

    also like support for both Flash Player v7 & v9,

    or even better, three+:  v7, v9, v7 disguised as

    v9 plus maybe vice-versa!  If i must, i'll patch

    the .so binaries by editing the "LNX" strings as

    it may remove the need to edit 'pluginreg.dat'...
