pianobar
========

pianobar is a pandora.com console client. It nearly does everything the flash
client can do while it uses less resources and is (in my opinion) easier to
use.

Your can get recent versions of this software at

http://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/tree/master or

http://uint16.ath.cx/en/web/pandora.com/client

Are you pandora.com? Read this!
===============================

"Why are you doing this?" you might ask. This is my anwer: I love your service
(recommendations are much better than those from last.fm, audio quality is much
better, stationS that actually *learn* what I like, ...), but your flashplayer
is the worst thing I've ever seen (25% CPU load and a browser window are too
much for playing music). So I decided to write a free-to-use (even you could
use it commercially!) library and player to access your service.

I know you have to pay your bills using ads on your website. At the moment this
client is ad-free, but I would show text ads to support you. All I need is a
api to retrieve those ads :)

By the way: It's useless to change the encryption/decryption key. It won't take
a week to get it working again, because the key is visible to every decompiler
and debugger.
