poidog Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 was trying to run PJ 8.1 with XP, current Java, flash 7 and/or 8, greasemonkey, Firefox v.09, and constantly got "socket write error" and "unable to write...make sure running firefox" messages. read thru forum posts and tried numerous fixes to no avail. problem was first song wouldn't download on manual or automatic...but if grabbed in the last 5 or 15 secs of song, would grab the correct song. if left on auto or grab manual at any other time, would grab previous song. was not running last fm, and no cddb lookup. installed PJ standalone and WORKS PERFECTLY. GREAT WORK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birra Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I keep getting MP3's with 64 kbps, has Pandora started using that? :(. Although, I don't hear the difference. Maybe it's fake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar Paul Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Same here 64, kbps and mono since Oct 29th,, Can I subscribe up? I don't like the new format. Anyone still getting 128 kbps and stereo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Tears @ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 02:55:23 +0000) * I accidentally clicked settings when I right clicked the Pandora screen with the Pandora grabber going. I couldn't get ride of the menu screen so I closed the window and started it again. Now there is just he Pandora window nothing else on the screen. I get 2 different things: First off I get Welcome to Pandora's Jar - darkone_05 edition Attempting to lauch on port ****...OK! [ready, lets grab some MP3's!!!] localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. Software caused connection abort: socket write error localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. Software caused connection abort: socket write error localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. Software caused connection abort: socket write error localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. And just the normal Pandora screen comes up. No skins or anything just the normal Pandora window so I cant save any of the songs. Secondly: Ill get localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. Null localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. localhost connected to server. Just like that and the same thing, just the normal Pandora screen... How can I get the options back so I can start saving the songs again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemill Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I keep getting MP3's with 64 kbps, has Pandora started using that? :(. Although, I don't hear the difference. Maybe it's fake? Hi all, my first post! I read a little on Pandora's help FAQ's and it looks like they're moving to 64kbps AAC+ files now. They claim it's just as good as the 128kbps MP3s. Can Pandora's Jar be tweaked to save as AAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco-man Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I have managed to get the band info (just showing the info in the shoutbox) working. Also i made it so that it will pull the album image from last.fm or amazon (whichever one is available for that song) however i still have a little work on this one so that it will use the largest image on amazon. I already have the last.fm one using the large images (aprox. 300 - 350px wide). It appears that the CDDB website has changed since this app was made so pulling the info from their site is not the same. I will also add that it totally sucks as you cant search by both song title and artist anymore, just 1 or the other. Because of this i am working on pulling the information from last.fm instead. I already have the album name working, and since i also got the album art working again it saves the album art and tags the proper album :) More than anything those two things were what i really wanted. Anyway, i will release the code for it once i finish what i want to work on and test it a little bit. It will be a little while since school will be starting for me tomorrow and i also have work which takes priority (sadly). If i find i don't have time i can always release what i have as its better than nothing and someone else can finish it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merc84td Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hello, Im unable to download anything. I keep getting error 403 permission denied. You don't have permission to access /pandora/pandoras_jar_8.1.1.zip on this server. What do I need to do to solve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taco-man Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 for anyone interested this method isn't really worth it anymore as it can only pull down the mono 64kbps mp3 files now last time i checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtbp Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I believe Pandora has finally made the most recent version of Pandora's Jar not function. Pandora.com no longer displays song info in the Firefox tabs, and therefore when I click to "Grab This Track" it has null values for artist and song name. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure pandoras.jar is running and restart your browser, you should be golden :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjamesbrown Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Awesome, I can confirm that this works in Ubuntu linux. Was waiting for a while for something like pandorasaver that would work in linux. One question/request: is there a way to save the music in some kind of folder hierarchy like pandorasaver - by artist and album as well as station?

ahoier Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 is this project still operational? Lol....kinda going thru a time capsule of a couple old HDD's laying around since I've been working from home! And kinda forgot all about Pandora's Box.....but I recall "development" of pandora jar - though box still worked so i didn;t; jump into it....lol. well, lo and behold......14 years later haha....i find the installer of the old pandora box, but obviously, won't work properly, I mean, the wrapper WORKS but pandora won't load, likely due to using the old IE engine ;) It prompts for a browser update lol. But I browsed this thread, and can't seem to find any working links to DL pandora's jar....? Is it dead? most of the links back to the forum seem to be dead. but then i was thinking too, lots of reference to "Flash" - I think flash is now dead via Adobe....?
