lanage Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 There have been many posts about pandora, but I was thinking, what if you could choose which song you downloaded? Somehow, the player encrypts? the url of the song, looking something like this: audio-eqx-sjl01.pandora.com/access?version=4&token=vB4Npl4hsrEfSiHAZz4iiuUAHgGsxTF4ZzqVe6X2RQ53iaerKo9r75lFopZSaNr6EKKaoy jnDyUMGskNO6LXhJokrejlik0SES9pJiZeLC9z5gcAz5uSg45bLgmPsNvXCHicMP%2Bem4EOTEqAC8Lj7bSi2dnMDoN9wGjQC5ZO%2BCmU8zS7Di5RvA%3D%3D&lid=2539257 if we could somehow decrypt it and re-encrypt it, wouldn't it be possible to download the song that you want to here. The only problem is that Cain & Able is not working and it does not look like a normal hash. it has nonhex characters(v, p, l, etc.). How could this be decrypted?

Shaun Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 What? Why would you need to decrypt it then re-encrypt it? Wouldn't that give you the same thing? If I go to that URL I can download Born in the USA, is that what it's supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanage Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 If we could find out how it stores the song info in the var "token" then we could replace that with a song of our choice and download the song that we wanted, instead of waiting for it to show up. Somhow, pandora gets "Born in USA" or somthing like that from "vB4Npl4hsrEfSiHAZz4iiuUAHgGsxTF4ZzqVe6X2RQ53iaerKo9r75lFopZSaNr6EKKaoyjnDyUMGskN O6LXhJokrejlik0SES9pJiZeLC9z5gcAz5uSg45bLgmPsNvXCHicMP%2Bem4EOTEqAC8Lj7bSi2dnMDoN9wGjQC5ZO%2BCmU8zS7Di5RvA%3D%3D" if we could change that to a different artist and song, then we could download a different song of our choosing, did I make that clear or dare I try again?

jollyrancher82 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Or you could use Pandora.com in the way it was intended to be used. I also think the chance of you decrypting that is next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeah, I'd say if they are using encryption and that token isn't just a arbitrary value which represents the song in the database or a hash of an arbitrary value it will almost certainly be a modern cipher which you never going to break. If you are going to download the song illegally then then I don't see the point in using Pandora, just use P2P stuff like everyone else.

Darren Kitchen Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 The point of pandora is that it's a services that learns your musical interests and builds unique playlists, exposing you to new music. If you want to pirate music your barking up the wrong tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
