Pandora's Jar, few modifications

[Russ]

Well, i've been using Pandora's Jar for a while now, but a few things were irking me, so I made some changes. Some excess files have been eliminated. I made this mainly for myself and roommates/friends but figured it wouldn't hurt to share it on here. If you would like the sourcecode, shoot me a PM. Props to irieb for the original program.

Some include:

-changed some things in the server thread

-saved files no longer are put into artist-album folders. They are all saved to 'saved_mp3' directory

-You can now minimize to the system-tray.

-various tweaks here and there

That said, here it is:

Hope you find these changes useful.

Hi Russ,

Your modification were more than useful: where there

was only a tiny window providing no access to critical

buttons i get the full display again, or at least i'm

able to reload the page correctly... I've tested it

a few times and i could download as i used to, months

ago. The one thing it's missing is the "album" field

and/or directory(ies); i'd also remove the infamous

"ripped by [PaNDoRas jAR] your source for listening

pleasure" comment but that's just me. Good job Russ!

If i could find where the Linux setup is explained i'd

try it on a Live CD as well, simply for the fun of it.

I don'r know why, but I am always experiencing problems with the first- 1-2 song that I want to grab- the saving stucks on Fetching ID3tag, and the java program says to make shure I am runnig the program in FIRFOX browser. Is there a way to fix that?

are you using the Flash Switcher extension?

If so, set your version to 7.0r63 and it should work fine.
