Does anyone know the method that uses Pandora to remember? in Pandora Timeshifting Posted December 5, 2006 First and foremost Pandora... > DOES NOT USE COOKIES > DOES NOT USE YOUR IP for figuring out if you are the same user. > IS CLIENT BASED. Thats why you can "rip" the music from it. > Uses flash to play its content. Secondly, this story about "formatting c:" and having remember your preferences along with your cable modem changing IPs at the same time is a LIE. A CLEAN system WILL NOT Register to Pandora. What Pandora does basically is: 1. Check local hard drive for its "special file". This is file is located in your personal folder (eg. C:Documents and Settings*USERNAME* or similar) 2. If not found it makes one. 3. Every time you login on your computer and go to Pandora it knows this is "Bob". Anyone willing to argue? vyruswat@dodgeit.com -- give me a thought. Anyone interested in finding the file can do so with a debugger or isolated environment tests. Vyrus
