Birra Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I don't know if I can create this topic here, but I'll just do it. I have a MDA Vario (a pocketpc), but I'm not getting Pandora to work on that (it would be superduperultra great if it worked). All it does is load a little, then it just stops. Is there a way to fix this? Like another browser or flash or something? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor512 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 it needs flash and for me, i was only able to find flash player 7 and when i installed it, the pocket pc still wouldn't load flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFusion Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 what's your usage scenario? perhaps I can hack something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birra Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 what's your usage scenario? perhaps I can hack something up. I use IE & Flash 7, but I can't find 8 or 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 PJ doesn't work with IE. IE doesn't cache the songs into files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to explain my question better, I meant - what do you want to be able to do? listen to pandora on the go? in the car? in your living room? wirelessly? connected via bluetooth to a near by laptop? and so on... what do you want to be able to do, exactly?

I want to listen to Pandora in traffic, and it has in-built internet (I mean, you can acces the internet everywhere you are.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFusion Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, now that I know what you want to do I can help you. 1) I'm interested in knowing what type of internet connection you're talking about, is it wifi? EDGE? 2) why pay for internet connection in order to listen to a non-live feed?! how about this solution: I can write a little application that takes two parameters - the name of the radio-station and the amount of megabytes available on your device (or time in minutes that you'd like to be available) and it will create for you a set of files and a playlist to copy to your device. It will be different every time, you will not know what comes next - and it will be based on the stuff pandora played and you ripped. if you download in cruise control while you're not next to the computer - then playing the stuff created by my app or actually listening to pandora should be indistinguishable. waiting for your input.

I don't know that yet, it's not mine yet, but I'll aks when my dad comes home (it's his'). 2. Because I want to use the internet for different things too :P. Thanks for your solution, but then I can't press No if I don't like it, etc, it just won't be the same. But still thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birra Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 My father says it is GPRS, is that possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 GPRS is really too slow for streaming MP3, it'd take ages to get one song, hardly worth it... not to mention unless you have an unlimited data plan it'd cost a fortune... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my dad can watch the news in the car? And it has no download-cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birra Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 It's EDGE, my dad looked it up. And no download-cap. And it's quad-band, don't if that info is useful. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Quad-band is fairly irrelevant for this particular thing, but EDGE is much better than GPRS, shouldn't be too bad using Pandora on it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFusion Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 It's EDGE, my dad looked it up.And no download-cap. And it's quad-band, don't if that info is useful. :) wow. how much are you paying for it? over here that kind of service would cost a fortune, and I guess if I had that I'd also be doing all sorts of on-line stuff with my PDA and my car. though it seems like a lot of work just so you could mark which songs you like and which you don't. except for that ability - which you will loose (with my solution) what else would you be missing? because, thinking about it, you gain the ability to skip fwd. as much as you want, plus - select the next track to play manually, plus - play a track again... which are stuff you don't get with the real pandora. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birra Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 The phone is 20 euro per month & the internet is 10 euro per month. :P But I could also just upload some mp3's to the phone, you don't have to write an app for that, but I thought maybe you could fix Pandora on PocketPC.

ColdFusion Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Wow, that's dirt cheap. I envy you. You could ask pandora about porting their app to run on a pocket-pc. what browser are you running on the PPC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
