Copy filters

[Rekna]

Hi,

How easy would it be to make pandora jar filter the songs it copies.  It would be awesome if one could make a file with artist names.  Pandora jar would check against that list before copying if the artist name is not in the file then it would not copy that file.

I don't understand.

It's about avoiding replicas of the very same song and it's been done before.

It's not only about avoiding replicas but also avoiding copying songs of artists you don't want.

What I don't understand is why would you be listening to a station with artists you don't like? Wouldn't you just thumb down the song/artist and then it just won't play anymore and therefore not get copied?

Hi,

I get the point, Pandora often offered me plenty of less-than-ideal choices

despite all my efforts to pick only tunes which i thought were matching the

channel's intended spirit.  Sometimes the new selection was so shocking i'd

certainly have liked a "Ban List" but how are we going to get all of this done

without the initial gurus around?  By the time some of us have acquired the

necessary knowledge, after an abrupt learning curve, the project might as

well be dead definitively.  Whatever will collect the songs with meaningless

filenames and no .MP3 tagging will suit me fine as long as Pandora fits in a

pocket when i go outdoors.  The rest is accessorial and may never happen.

Pandora has a ban list, press thumbs down twice on the same artist, and it will never play it again.

This wouldn't need to be done during run time. You could write a script that would traverse the mp3 collection and delete the folders of the artist in your ban file...

It seems unnessecary though... I'd just scroll through the mp3 directory every so often and delete what I didn't want.
