    First off let me say this is probably one of my most used programs, i run it 24/7 (even when i'm sleeping :D ).

    After I updated today every song finished before its supposed to, the time that it shows finishes (ex. 4:10 / 4:10 ) but the song isn't over (theres more then 4:10 to the song)...

    i just restarted saver2 (haven't restarted since i updated yet) and it seems to be running better now, though it seems some songs finsih a scond early but maybe not...

    Thank you for this program!

    iv'e been getting an error like this quite abit recently:

    Error: System.NullReferenceException

    PandoraSaver made an oopsie.

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    at PandoraSaver.ID3.Save(String filename, String sourceFile) in C:\documents and settings\zigzagjoe\desktop\pandorasaver\new\src\ID3.cs:line 452

    at PandoraSaver.ID3.Save() in C:\documents and settings\zigzagjoe\desktop\pandorasaver\new\src\ID3.cs:line 401

    at PandoraSaver.Saver.HandlePendingSessions() in C:\documents and settings\zigzagjoe\desktop\pandorasaver\new\src\ID3.cs:line 401

    iv'e restarted pandorasaver more then once this seems to mainly happen when its on turbo mode and theres ~250 .dat files in the mp3 folder.

    Sometimes it happens to all the files in the qeune (200+), sometimes just one...

    Thanks for this great program! I really like it compared to others, its sooo much easier to use and has alot more features...

    I would just like to point out that from what iv'e found, if your someone that is limited to the 40 hours, you can use the turbo download mode and it doesn't use your 40 hours faster then 40 real hours... it seems to be about the same even though your getting like a few songs every minute or so

    edit:

    After running it for 12+ hours overnight on turbo download mode, i noticed that its only used aprx 4 hours according to pandora...

    Pandora limits 40 hours/month for free users

    I got an email from Tim Westergren - Founder, Pandora containing the following:

    Hi, it’s Tim -

    I hope this email finds you enjoying a great summer filled with music from Pandora.

    I’m writing with some important news. Please forgive the lengthy email; it requires some explaining.

    First, I want to let you know that we’ve reached a resolution to the calamitous Internet radio royalty ruling of 2007. After more than two precarious years, we are finally on safe ground with a long-term agreement for survivable royalty rates – thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our listeners who voiced an absolute avalanche of support for us on Capitol Hill. We are deeply thankful.

    While we did the best we could to lower the rates, we are going to have to make an adjustment that will affect about 10% of our users who are our heaviest listeners. Specifically, we are going to begin limiting listening to 40 hours per month on the web. Because we have to pay royalty fees per song and per listener, it makes very heavy listeners hard to support on advertising alone. Most listeners will never hit this cap, but it seems that you might.

    We hate the idea of capping anyone's usage, so we've been working to devise an alternative for listeners like you. We've come up with two solutions and we hope that one of them will work for you:

    *

    Your first option is to continue listening just as you have been and, if and when you reach the 40 hour limit in a given month, to pay $0.99 for an unlimited number of hours for the rest of that month. This isn't a subscription. We'll charge your credit card for just that one month and you'll be able to keep listening as much as you'd like for the remainder of the month. We hope this is relatively painless and affordable - the same price as a single song download.

    *

    Your second option is to upgrade to our premium version called Pandora One. Pandora One costs $36 per year. In addition to unlimited monthly listening and no advertising, Pandora One offers very high quality 192 Kbps streams, an elegant desktop application that eliminates the need for a browser, personalized skins for the Pandora player, and a number of other features: http://www.pandora.com/pandora_one.

    If neither of these options works for you, I hope you'll keep listening to the free version - 40 hours each month will go a long way, especially if you're really careful about hitting pause when you’re not listening. We’ll be sure to let you know if you start getting close to the limit, and we’ve created a counter you can access to see how many hours you’ve already used each month.

    We’ll be implementing this change starting this month (July), I’d welcome your feedback and suggestions. The combination of our usage patterns and the "per song per listener" royalty cost creates a financial reality that we can't ignore...but we very much want you to continue listening for years to come.

    Please don't hesitate to email me back with your thoughts.

    Sincerely,

    just thought i'd post that here, as i think only users that listen to pandora more then 40 hours a month got the email... i probably listen to 40 hours of pandora in 3 or 4 days =(

    Heres the email on pandora.com: http://broadcaster.pandora.com/dm?id=B7402...50542759970026E

    Try using VLC... its free, and it seems to have lots of goodies that other media players dont have, but it isnt the best looking....

    @ihavnoclue

    Yes you can say that it DOES NOT work with the NEWEST version of FF

    YOU NEED VERSION 3.0.1 (or maybe 3.0.2?) if you look back a page or two we've already gone over all of this you will find some links....

    I will say that i have noticed it seems that pandorarip freezes and next time it starts up it copies a but load of songs... i have also gotten a few songs that don't play the file size is less then 1MB... kinda annoying but it gets most of them

    I also want to report I got it working under Ubuntu using the latest wine (version 1.0-rc1).. not sure if anyone's reported success on that? Quick how-to:

    ...

    Firefox in Ubuntu without wine (a bit more work):

    1) I used FF 3b5 which comes with Ubuntu Hardy

    2) Get latest wine (I used 1.0-rc1)

    3) Make a link to bridge between your native temp directory and wine's temp directory:

    Wine tells PandoraRip the temp directory is in c:\windows\temp. When Pandora runs, it creates a folder in the temp directory called "plugtmp", but running firefox in linux, it puts this folder in /tmp/, so make a link for it:

    ln -s /tmp/plugtmp [wine's drive_c]/windows/temp/

    For me, the wine C drive is at /home/myusername/.wine/drive_c/

    4) Run pandoraip.exe in wine (I just double-click it on desktop)

    5) Play pandora in FF and enjoy.

    ...

    What flash verison/player did you use because i can't find adobe flash 8.x for linux, and right now pandorarip isnt working with flash 9 :(

    Can i make a suggestion about the "Select an Interface"? Why not check when the program first starts up how many there are and if there is only 1 then already select that and the "Grab UnCached Tracks" just to make it a tad easier for some of the newbies other then that "Rock On"!! Thanks for the program!

    --edit--

    I just noticed that right clicking and clicking "Play" for a song doesnt do anything for me

    i think this would be a very very stupid move, think about how many people make money online, how many people do you think would be out of a job if this was to happen? I'm thinking quite abit, and with the job market as it is....

    only one person has tried it :(

    Does anyone think that this would be a cool thing to use? I mean it would be harder to 'get' into someones account because you would need more then a password

    -edit

    Right now i'm trying to get MySQL to work so if the page doesn't load try it again in a few minutes

    How much is you dead body worth?

    http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_is_your_body_worth

    "Women's eggs are costlier than men's sperm. The survey found that a fertile woman could sell 32 egg cells over eight years for $224,000; however, for a man to earn the same amount, he would have to make 12 sperm donations a month for 20 years."

    wow thats $7000 a pop...

    lol

    apparently my dead body is worth either, $4.50, $5165 or $45 million...

    The end part of the 45 million - "Although this break down is illegal, unethical and also impossible, you should not feel like a million dollars anymore. You can feel like $45 million, instead!"

    but i only feel like $4.50 :( i wonder if theres tax on your body?

    Might i suggest this for the name input tag in write.php:

    <input type="text" name="name" size="14" value="<?php echo $nam; ?>">

    that way it 'saves' your name after you 'write on the hak5 wall', you might be able to do it this way "<?=$nam?>" but it doesn't work on my webserver...

    edit-

    you should probably add some more words to the "blocked" list....
