Heh, have the rules changed? I think they went quite a long way with protocol version changes without changing keys along, and now they seem to do so every version bump... R.

I think they changed the keys.

Hi, Some time ago Pandora was sending the 'focusTrait' within their XMLs. The focusTrait was exactly the gene being used for the next 4-song playlist generation, in human readable form. Now they only send focusTraitId, which is a code. I wonder if anyone succeeded to map the focusTraitIds to focusTraits when it was possible?.. R.

Moreover in Linux/UNIX flash switching should be simpler, as you only need to manage symlinks - can FF do it? Meanwhile I forcibly downgraded to Flash-7.0.73 . The flash cache now looks indeed different... :) R.

I tried to patch the XPI, but I haven't much experience with the technology, nor with JS, so all I managed to do is to show linux versions of flash to choose from. However, when I try to switch, FF crashes, probably because of different copy syntax. Can you post/send your patch? R.

On my FC6/FF2 the switcher crashes the whole browser application as soon as I try to switch.

UPDATE: the songs fetched that way do not contain proper ID3 information. From all the dialog coming via proxy I am failing to catch where the song information is contained. Maybe it is in the "token" field of the GET request pandora client is passing to get the next song. There are some xmlrpc calls, but I have a hard time simulating those, nor do they seem regularly. However the album images may be fetched fine. In addition I don't see how the CACHE_00? files Firefox9/Linux is generating song information can be extracted. Flash8 is out of question since flashswitcher is available for Windows only. Maybe someone would lend a hand about the ID3 stuff? Other than that the milking proxy is ready. BTW, I noticed Pandora's Jar is having problems working with SSH Tunnel (or is the problem with FF self-upgrade to 2.0.0.11?) Thanks in advance, R.

There is a different hack for Linux: 1. Get tinyproxy, either package or source(compite it then) and install. 2. Install FoxyProxy extension for Firefox. Configure it to use your tinyproxy for pandora. 3. Hook to the tinyproxy log. Watch for (very long) requests to audio-*. pandora. com 4. wget those requests from command line. Use '-O' switch to dump it into normal-named mp3 files. 5. Use id3 tools to rename it to properly named files. The wget should be done as soon as possible after the request shows up in the log. Maybe later I'll write a perl application that will do everything listed above, included proxying. R.
