pianobar

I've been using pianobar which is a Pandora CLI and has an emacs package. It's pretty neat and I have Pandora, but this really looks cool and maybe better. I'd like to give it a shot. https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar https://github.com/agrif/pianobar.el

Not Spotify, but for Pandora nothing beats pianobar[1]. I've been using it for years and it's just a delight. No bloated interface, simple and quick to use. 1: https://6xq.net/pianobar/ or https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

Maybe someone will make a CLI for it like pianobar for Pandora. https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

pianobar - command line Pandora client http://6xq.net/pianobar/ https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

Open source command line clients for specific streaming services inherit the catalog issues, but FYI: Pandora - https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar Spotify - https://github.com/plietar/librespot

In addition to ytview; mpsyt (https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube) is a great tool for finding, creating playlists, and playing audio from youtube. And for Pandora, there is Pianobar, a console based pandora player: https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

Open source command line clients for streaming services are the best! Pandora - https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar Spotify - https://github.com/plietar/librespot Any others for other services that still work?

Would be neat if you could also include streaming services like Pandora. I use Pianobar https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar for Pandora would be nice to have some streaming tie ins. A one stop music resource so to speak. A book mark system to listening to Internet radio like cmdradio https://cmdradio.codeplex.com?

Perhaps someone will come out with a pianobar* equivalent for this. * https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

Interesting. As gilesc points out, this is only possible by reverse-engineering (i.e. decompiling) the Flash client to get the encryption and decryption keys (crypt_key_input.h and crypt_key_output.h [1]). It's actually pretty easy to do this--I did the same thing a few years ago as a weekend project. So why didn't I release it? Well, IANAL, but I think there are potential legal repercussions to this kind of reverse-engineering. And, as gilesc also points out, Pandora regularly changes their encryption keys, which makes maintaining this kind of software kind of obnoxious. (The solution to that problem, I think, is to make the software download and parse the .swf file on startup or just on failure to yank out those fresh encryption keys itself, but I never tried it.) I just cringe a bit when I see these sorts of apps, not because I think t

Should probably have linked directly to the github repo https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar

If you're interested in pandora without flash, you might want to check out pianobar - http://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar - it has pretty much all of the functionality without the overhead.
