Whow. . . . thanks . . . pandora. jar is re-running after months of abstinence due to the IP- blocking for non-us residents. I am so happy now everything runs again. I have been following this project since the very beginnings Thanks again dark one. Pandora pushes the limits higher and higher: Tor + config / firefox +proxy config / flash 8 + flash 9 to 8 hack / flash switcher / greasemonkey + config / JRE / and Pandora's Jar + config. 5 Programs + 3 plug ins involved, all must perfectly match in their version and config settings. . . :-? So the skyscraper is getting higher and higher. Which is good, because my hope is that one day the pandora guys give up in trying to put even more barriers in, because the audience who will find ways to avoid them (its a natural law, pandora guys!) is reduced to a rather small bunch of restless people. . . . The thing has become so complicated, that it is unlikely a simple one-click GUI implementation willever be possible. . . there are simply too many steps to do before, and everything is constantly changing. . . so no fear for Pandora that one day something will happen as with the iPhone unlock-movement. . . Sorry for the off-topics...I am just happy :-) Though, there seem to be some minor glitches: First, the properties file was a little confusing at unpacking of the installation, initially it was nearly empty: #uncomment the following line to set your preferred storage dir # NOTE: Forward Slashes!! mp3.retry.count=10 Does this makes sense? I then added the entries of my old default. properties file (don't remeber the version of pandora, must be from december 06 or so) But two things do not work: [li]The file and path pattern don't work, they seem simply skipped. (I want to have each channel in its own subdir, like specified in the default. proprties file below) What does the new "Saving using hierarchical folder structure" combo is intended for in the GUI? It doesn't seem to matter, but I may be wrong. . I left the 'MP3 Save Directory' empty. Or can I now put the format pattern there? [/li] [li]The 'genre' should be set to the channel name. Neither this works. [/li] (some comments removed to make it shorter): #number of times to retry fetching the song (with 1 second intervals) mp3.retry.count=10 # ***** file names and paths properties ****** # archive path is constructed in the following way: # path+dir+filenameformat # path must end with a / # dir must not contain any / # # the defaults are: # path is the directory from which pj is running # dir is "mp3" # filenameformat is "artist/album/artist-title". #uncomment the following line to set your preferred storage dir # NOTE: Forward Slashes!! mp3.archive.path=c:/pandora/ #uncomment the following line to change the name of the default archive dir mp3.archive.dir=mp3 #File/directory name format # %a - artist; %b - album; %t - title; %s - station # NOTICE: if no album / station data they will be replaced with "UNKNOWN" # if nothing specified here, defaulting to: "%s/%a/%b/%a-%t" # spaces are fine, don't add .mp3, use forward slashes don't start with / filename.format=%s/%a/%b/%a-%t # create playlist with name by station name, if true, "playlist.filename=" is ignored. true by default. playlist.filename.bystation=false # *** id3 tag comments override **** #uncomment the following line to remove the comment from the id3 #comment.override.enabled=true #uncomment the follwing line (and the one before!) to set your own comment #comment.override=MyComment genre.setstation=true A typical log for a song then looks like the following: INFO Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - copying file[D:DOKUME~1xxxxLOKALE~1Tempplugtmp-26-7] to temp[D:DOKUME~1xxxxLOKALE~1TemppandorasJarTmpFile.mp3] WARN Thread-2 servlet.ProcessAction - unable to save img - albumImgLoc: null songInfo: SongInfo{album='null', artist='Ron Sexsmith', title='Cold Hearted Wind', trackNumber='null', year='null', lable='null', [b]genre='null', station='null'[/b]} INFO Thread-2 util.Mp3Processor - adding ID3 tags: SongInfo{album='null', artist='Ron Sexsmith', title='Cold Hearted Wind', trackNumber='null', year='null', lable='null', [b]genre='null', station='null'[/b]} DEBUG Thread-2 servlet.ProcessAction - cruise on - dealing with file manually INFO Thread-2 servlet.ProcessAction - Moving current mp3 to folder INFO Thread-2 util.Util - SongInfo{album='null', artist='Ron Sexsmith', title='Cold Hearted Wind', trackNumber='null', year='null', lable='null', [b]genre='null', station='null'[/b]} INFO Thread-2 util.Util - Destination path: null Again, thanks for the great work, and also thanks to pandora to let us still alive. . . :-)
