  1. This really has me thinking. The xml data points to the related and possible upcoming songs, with title, album, genre, 130 x 130 album art. So all this operates at the Layer 7 model. I think, Pandora uses the blowfish algorithm to tell the laszlo servers what xml file to throw at it, which the xml file includes the audio source and song info and other songs that could play after it. I was curious so I decompiled the Pandora's swf, at https://www.pandora.com/radio/tuner_8_6_0_0_pandora.swf , and there's 50,000 lines of actionsript code in the MainMovie . It is hard to understand, it has alot of laszlo server specfic bs in it. <_< Now, we have access to the xml files when pandora hands it to us, which include the song info. We could make our own media box, like the squeezebox, that displays current song info, which could be outputted to a lcd. An old thin-client would be the best for this. It would be nice if everyone had a stand-alone application, that monitored the layer 7 traffic, and parsed only the Pandora xml files, while pandora swf was running, like in a self contained window, like all those wrappers that are out there. Making something like this with the QT toolkit would make this alot easier I think, and would make it eaiser porting it to multiple OS's. These are just my thoughts ;) liquidcool , your code looks very good and staight foward :) I think it will be you that launches an ultimate Pandora project foward, its a big step foward. We just need to figure out how the pandora talks to the laszlo servers while using their blowfish encryption, then we could develop our own standalone pandora app, that woudnt require flash, as flash is a resource hog. All in all, Pandora is a company, built upon the capitalistic model, and the only reason they are still providing their services for free are the ads. If it wasn't for those advertisements, Pandora would not be here today. So I say we should click on their ads for every couple songs you listen too, I think that should be a fair agreement between us and them. Here is the decompiled form of the Pandora tuner, compressed with Rar, if anyone wants to look at it: http://rapidshare.com/files/156914380/tune...andora.rar.html
  2. Hello, I'm using Pandora Jar 8. 1. 1 It works almost perfectly except that it doesnt not add the genre and year info in the mp3 tag. But it does save the title and album and artist. Why is that? thanks. p. s. Is it possible to save the cd cover jpeg automatically with pandorajar?
