Oops! My bad! The latest version (beta 7.2) has been updated with the appropriate src files now (thanks to barley!!! for sending those!) and should probably be updated if you are tinkering with the source. They are availble here: http://wildandbad.com/pandoras-jar/ So i have been trying to work on an older version of the src.. oh boy.. well i got my southern comfort.. so im set... darn it over 100 out.. the pool is looking good... umm that link isnt working... That'll teach me to type rather than copy-paste. http://wildandbad.com/article/pandoras-jar

There's plenty of room in settings for that, and I have every version from 3b to 7.2 on http://wildandbad.com/article/pandoras-jar I just don't do java. Although I've looked at the code and it seems pretty clear what it does and how it does it, so I've been tempted to try my hand at some java programming. Maybe soon. Version Alpha 7 was the last time I remember seeing the 'station' code.

Somone must have fixed that along the way without updating the Src files. cause mine (which is right out of the box) works fine. While you are in there t3chn0b0y someone seems to have removed the part of pandora's jar that uses the pandor username to find the station name and they changed the username field in pandoraGrabber.html to be used as a directory name between the archiveDirectory and the "mp3" part. [note: in my out-of-the-box 7.2 that is] Can you restore the stationName lookup and use another field name for the 'Save Directory' (like oh...i dunno SaveDirectory perhaps?) and put that where the 'mp3' was? Can we add another field to default.properties that defines the way the files are saved? mp3.archive.path=C:/Pandora/Music tmp.mp3.retry.count=20 mp3.filename.pattern=/{station}/{artist}/{album}/{track} - {songtitle}.mp3 Just an idea. Use a regular expression or a find/substitute to replace the variable names with the pattern. Just thinking.

Dr. Stephen Greer is a generally unhinged individual who also happens to blow the horn for 0-point energy and alien-tech 'super medicines' If you do a search for him you'll turn up a lot of 'facts' he's found over the years. many of which are STILL waiting to be verified. I would not hold your breath about the veracity of his claim. To paraphrase James Randi "If you get a dozen people regardless of their credentials to swear that David Copperfield sawed a woman in half it does not mean that David Copperfield sawed a woman in half. It only means that a dozen people BELEIVED that he sawed a woman in half." Testimony isn't proof. (substitute "saw a UFO" for "David Copperfield sawed a woman in half" above to see the correlation if you don't get it.)

Ah that one I understand. I means It cannot find the css file for that skin. Most likely your pandoraGrabber.html file was replaced with an older one or your skins folder isn't where it expects it to be. Look in your pandorGrabber.html file and find the lin[es]: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skins/default/css/pandorajar.css" title='default'> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skins/hak5/css/pandorajar.css" title='hak5'> <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skins/milky/css/pandorajar.css" title='milky'> And make sure that the CSS file is located at /skins/{skinname}/css/pandorajar.css Did this fix it?

See the N00bs guide and look for the part where you EDIT THE default.properties

I used Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and my 'Mad Skilz' to put together the framework. I based it on the idea that it would be an "extension" of the Pandora Player itself. As l0ki76117 has built additional skins I have massaged the design to be CSS friendly. The basic elements you need are: A Background image An "outer" frame cut into 8 pieces: 4 corners: Ne, Nw, Se, and Sw and 4 sides: N, S, E, W An "inner" frame cut into three pieces 'top', 'bottom', 'faux' A logo (pjlogo.gif) a 'grab this track' button From that you should be able to make very nearly any style you want. I'd start with one of the excellent skins by l0ki76117 . just duplicate the folder with the skin in it in the 'Skins' folder. Add this line to the HEAD section of pandoraGrabber.html <link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skins/YOUR_SKIN_NAME/css/pandorajar.css" title='YOUR_SKIN_NAME'> And then tweak from there.

Small ish world met mine in a chatroom.... taibrides.co... *ow being hit* 8 years ago now been married for 2 and I'm still happy as can be... soooooon I will be happier though as it's offf to Canada!!!!! permanently BC here I come, god it's beautiful there just the right mix for me - tree's houses and stuff to do after 6PM other than go to supermarkets or Pubs lol I met her 4 years ago and married for 3. WAAAAY outback in Australia (only 10,200 miles from where I lived) but it has worked out so far. And yes, I'll be made into an honorary 'Bruce' when we move back in about 6 more years. Very small world, indeed.

To the best of my knowledge...yes.

Strangely enough, I met my wife in an online RPG. She's neither fat nor stupid , and I sure think she's hot. (And no, I'm not going to send you a pic)

It is a slash thing. Java (and PHP and Perl) all treat the back slash () chracter as an escape character. so essentially they ignore it. Use a FORWARD SLASH (/) and it should work out just fine. like this: F:/Phillip/My Music/

I started an "unofficial" Pandora's jar homepage. http://wildandbad.com/article/pandoras-jar/

That could possibly be added...a genre seems be set as part of the tagging info.

See the N00b guide, there are instructions there.

Newest version is 7.2 (http://wildandbad.com/pandora.beta.7.2.zip) Also I notice you are trying to save your files to the E: drive. Have you edited your default.properties file to change the save path?

Clear cache, delete temp files, get newest version 7.2 And move the jacob.dll to your system folder see: http://www.hak5.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=18156#18156

Ahhh...yes...the problem is that the file included with the 7.2 version is a dos-formatted file. To convert the file to have unix linebreaks do the following: vi pandora.sh Once inside vi type the following: :set fileformatting=unix -- then hit enter :wq -- then hit enter I didn't realize the script was now being included in pandora.beta.7.2. We need to get that fixed... :) Of course {smacks forehead} since I didn't have that file on my mac I created a new one. Hence the lack of problem.

haha nice Actually, given my religious bent, but sinful nature mine would more likely be: 403 Forbidden but my wife's less churchy than me. She'd just get a: 410 Gone

I ran this on my 10.3 iMac and it runs fine. So I am going to ask you to 1) make sure that the permissions of the shell script are set to allow you to execute it. 2) open your command line and make sure that bash is in /bin/bash and not in /usr/bin/bash or /sbin/bash (if so modify your script) 3) lastly, try executing it by typing 'bash pandora.sh' on the command line and see if that does it. If so it is likely your java location or your firefix location that are at fault.

Hey you push pixels better 'n me. Your skins look great! Too bad we can't skin pandora itself (although I have an idea about that - i'll let you know how it turns out). I can do that, it isn't that tough. Changing them isn't that tough. As of 7.2 you can just unzip them into the 'skins' folder with each one to a seperate folder. Then add them as seperate stylesheets. In Firefox you can use the view->page styles->and choose your style. Unfortunately it makes Pandora refresh when you do that. If I rig it in JS it'll just change like magic and won't even skip a song beat. Keep an eye out for that soon (7.3 when it comes out)

I wouldn't recommend it. Deleteing files from a batch file can be problematic. It is a 'slash' thing. In the default.properties file you have to use a FORWARD SLASH(/) rather than a BACKSLASH() as a folder seperator. It is a long story as to why but trust me that is the problem. I am not sure what you mean? I don't get this I am working on it At the moment, no. That is a java thing, I just handle the javascript/flash/css/html stuff In settings there is a drop menu to turn on "add to itunes library'

When was the last time you EVER waw any political process that didn't run on money? When was the last time you ever saw ANYONE do anything that made a dent without SOME money involved? Were you expecting them to do it all for you? Alone? Progress costs, baby. I say donate if you want to see someone try to make it better. Don't like the results you got for your money? You are free to do it better yourself.

Nobody ever said "eliminate" copyrights, but they want to REFORM them. Right now, as it stands, copyright in the US is a tool of lawyers to stifle innovation. It allows them to hold ideas like Micky Mouse (75+ years and counting under copyright) and "The Birthday Song" (50+ years under copyright and still making money) as intellectual properties when ideas like "The Wizard of Oz" (Copyright FINALLY expired in 1988) and Alice in Wonderland (Copyright Expired in 1986) have gone on to prove more popular and more innovative to new audiences when run through an unfettered creative filter tha renews them for a new audience. Why are we strangling creativity when we can be releasing it into the wild to grow, mutate, and evolve? How much money do you have to make from something before you have made enough? According to copyright law here in the US (particularly companies like Disney and Warner) it is never enough. Long after their creators have died and have ceased to care about their creations, genius' families (Gene Roddenberry, Rod Serling, Orson Wells, and John Lennon just to name a few) are continuing to wring profit for themselves out of holding copyrights. How long can one reasonably be expected to hold something in copyright? I say 20 years is plenty. If you have not made enough money in 20 years, wringing pennies from people who want to make your idea become great is a crime greater than piracy. Note, I am not saying that you are to discard the creator. I hope to be will into my 90's seeing "Batman created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger" on the latest independant creation (not licenced) film created by a few fans without fear of a lwayer telling them they can't make money from their labors.

Stealing is wrong, but Pirates are cool. And they fight global warming.
