Conqueror: Are you using CF7? Have you tried changing the server.port setting in your default.properties file for Pandora's Jar? The changelog for CF7 says you shouldn't use port 80, even though that's what it's set to by default. If you're not using CF7, you should be using the batch file to launch it, and specifying the port number on the command-line when you run the batch file. Although, if you're not using Beta CF7 you should probably grab the latest to have any chance of getting it to work. hhh: Upgrade to Beta CF7... it's been out since January and is in the third sticky post on this forum. There's also several other fixes even for CF7 here on the forum to get it to actually download.

I sent ColdFusion a PM with a fix for the last.fm timestamp issue last night. Just needs to be submitting UTC instead of local time, it's a one line change that I've made myself and is working great here.

CDDB lookup looks up the artist/song title on the CDDB site and if successful, should fill in the rest of the info like album title (album, track number, label, year and genre). Only, from the looks of the code, it does *not* look like it's currently functional presumably because Gracenote/CDDB have changed the page layout. The artist and album info being disabled would be because you have "last.fm Data" set to off. If on, it's supposed to retrieve the info from last.fm. Though it only seems to work erratically here, possibly for the same reason the CDDB feature doesn't seem to work... the page parsing likely needs to be updated, though I haven't looked at the code for that. The Pandora Username box should now (CF7) actually contain your email address for your pandora account. I believe it's optional, and it's used to retrieve your station information from http://feeds.pandora.com/feeds/ which used to use usernames, but now uses email addresses for lookups. Then it's used to for the playlists which are generated by the setting "playlist.filename.bystation=true" And if the CDDB feature were working, that would be how you get more track info as mentioned above. Shouldn't be hard to fix, I haven't bothered myself because I usually run tracks through MusicBrainz Picard anyway.

I did waste my time though since AudioScrobbler/last.fm aren't actually using the 1.2 protocol yet. :P

I just found my problem and it was my own doing. I had updated and re-compiled LastFmLookup to use their 1.2 protocol last night, not realizing the CF7 release zip *does not* include the CF7 source... it has the original 7.4.0 source still. So my re-compiled version was back to using the bugged getStationName function among other things which had since been fixed, which was causing it not to work any longer. Whoever packaged the CF7 full zip should update the source in it as well. :P

It's erratic here, but not dead. Using the latest Beta CF7 here on the forums, was working fine at one point last night, but an hour or so after I had closed it and tried again, it would no longer work again. Also noticed an oddity that it was giving files a double extension ".mp3.mp3" when it copied them to the destination dir. And a few other quirks.

TaskSwitchXP works well for minimizing to tray as well. http://www.ntwind.com/software/taskswitchxp.html I usually only use it for this feature, though that's not it's main function is supposed to be, but it has many other features as well. A lot of older minimize to tray apps don't handle long window titles properly, and when you try to minimize to tray, they hide the window but crash and burn when they try to make the tray icon leaving you no access to the window unless you use Win Explorer or something to change the visible property back. :P
