pianobar - Pandora Deluxe Elite Ultimate Edition Pro

Unread post by doubledutch » Tue Dec 22, 2015 2:53 pm

Much like despotify, which was a Spotify client made by Swedish hackers... there's a package called "pianobar" which uses your Pandora account and Pandora servers (so all of your stations are there) except you get unlimited skips\nexts and no commercials. Best of all, it runs in the terminal. I've been using this for ages and recently noticed it's not been mentioned here. A search reveals that a number of you have used Pandora in the past (and probably have accounts). Every time I see friends using the Pandora website, I die inside when I see them wishing they had another skip, and I inevitably cringe when I hear a pandora commercial in a bar or restaurant and nobody is phased like it's normal and okay. On a side note, there should be a Thundercat or a Carebear named Pandora or Pandaro.

I think I may have heard of it somewhere before, but never tried it. I have it installed now and checking it out. Has some fifo options, so should be able to incorporate into my workflow. Thanks dd
