  1. something funny happened while using pandorarip haha anyways I was listening to pandora and the song crystal ball by keane loaded, but pandorarip ripped the song can't stop now by keane. At first I thought that it was an error in tagging the name, but when I played the song it was can't stop now by keane not crystal ball haha

    anyways I was just wondering if this happened with anyone else?

    Pandorarip will sometimes rip tracks that haven't started playing yet but are 1 or two songs in the future. This has to do with how Pandora delivers their XML and cache :P

  2. OpenPandora uses embedded IE to load and render pandora. As such its temporary files are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 on windows XP. However there is a minor problem, as soon as flash is done loading the song data or XML data files it will commit them to memory and delete the temp files, which are locked until deleted. There is a way around this however and if there is an interest I will elaborate on the subject.

    I looked at it. Not worth the effort right now to add support for it.

  3. 1) Is there a way to prevent Rip from creating the Desktop directory once you've added a custom directory?

    2) Are you planning to add last.fm support? This is one major plus of Jar

    3) Is it possible to detect thumbs down? I don't want to have to go back and clean up bad songs after the fact. I do like that you can delete from the right click menu but it would be slick to have it delete thumbs down songs. If it can't do this, this a delay feature might handle it.

    1 - will be part of the portable version

    2 - maybe.. what does it offer?

    3 - thumbs down is detected in the latest version and the tracks will not be recorded. Next version will track the thumbs down into a 'ban' list (which you can later edit). The list will support wildcards.

  4. Speaking of the last point brought up above...when I go and erase folders/songs I dont want...they come back everytime I reboot pandorarip....obviously because they are cached in temp somewhere. Where can I go to erase them ? Dont they build up over time to be large and a huge mem waster ?

    Restart the browser or close/refresh the pandorarip player tab prior to restarting pandorarip. The first time it starts it will scan the temp ff directory and re-ingest the files. Since it is stateless, it doesn't remember that you thumbed down those tracks that are still cached in the browser cache.

  5. Please Ben, if there's a guru around here somewhere who can

    port Pandora's Jar to Linux then point a finger at him because

    i've been dreaming of this for a long time!!!

    Look, you keep bringing this up with your smarmy comments in a thread dedicated to PandoraRip, not PandoraJAR.

    I would work on the PandoraJAR codebase if I cared. Unfortunately it is a cesspool with a shoddy UI, and I don't care. Plus I don't care much for Java, at all, regardless of the platform it runs on. Which is why I wrote my own in the first place.

    The only thing I have planned in the future is support for Fred's portable version and 64-bit OS support so we can run this on a USB key on any Win platform. And I do that because I find this marginally interesting, not because it is rocket science.

  6. Seems the "solution" is to close PandoraRip after defining the new destination then restart it as mentioned a few posts ago. Is there a shutdown period for the snifferwhich lasts longer than the GUI?

    Nope it is instantaneous.

    No I made a "portable" package using portable firefox 3.01 and want to carry it on USB Memory. My hope is to use a relative destination directory so PandoraRip would save to a folder on the USB device regardless of the letter assigned by the host PC. At least, that's the idea...

    Sure is nice to ahve this working again. Thanks.

    If you are willing to release a 'USB bundle' for free then I'll make PandoraRip work on it (file paths, etc).

  7. If you are serious about learning this field then you should start with http://www.schneier.com/book-applied.html . This is pretty much the industry bible for developers. Please don't make your own routines unless you are doing it purely for learning purposes.

    I would suggest you start with learning how e.g the DES algorithm works, and work your way up from there. There is more to be gained from learning all the various encryption mechanisms out there today and knowing what their shortcomings are and how to implement them correctly in a production system, than there is in learning the algorithms in depth. However, if you want to dive deep into the crypto field and don't care so much about implementation in e.g. applications, then do the latter.

    XOR obfuscation with single round single byte keys and no salt is insecure. It doesn't take much more than a simple nested for loop to brute force the cleartext. Unfortunately it doesn't stop people using it, however (some NOAA EMWIN satellite decoders use it, for example).

    I don't know what you intend to build, but some good off the shelf open source libs include http://libtomcrypt.com/features.html and http://www.cryptopp.com . I've built many apps using libtomcrypt.

    It's 'cryptanalysis', btw :)

  8. 1) PandoraRip makes a folder named "PandoraRip" on the desktop regardless of the output folder specified in the settings tab. It should only make the destination folder where that setting specifies if the folder does not exist. Would you please check that part of the flow?

    That's intentional. In lieu of charging a fee, the application is at least going to brand itself ;).

    2) Am I correct that the destination folder path cannot have spaces? "D:\Pandora Rips\" does not seem to work. Is that a related bug or what? Please enable spaces if possible.

    Spaces work fine (the default location is 'documents and settings' on xp..).

    3) Would you enable local storage of settings.ini, id3v2.dll and defaultcover.jpg? PandoraRip is forcing them in the Application Data folder.

    Are you using a roaming profile on a domain?

  9. Thanks rac - yeah 8r24 is the one (too early) ;)

    Socket code 10013 indicates something else has exclusive access to the socket port. The sniffer attempts to listen for traffic on port 80, and is prevented from doing so since another application or system permission is preventing it. So possible issues you may have:

    1. You are not running the application as a user or administrator with correct permissions to enter promiscuous mode sniffing on port 80 on your network interface.

    2. You have a service running on your PC on port 80 which is locking port 80 (e.g. a webserver)

    3. You have antivirus or antimalware software running that is preventing connectivity to port 80.

    You can run a netstat -b and see what is locked to port 80 if anything.

    Just for reference, the windows firewall and most antivirus and antimalware (i.e. windows defender) should not prevent this.
