My New Favorite

[electroman6913]

Hello every one My New favorite program I have found this year is pianobar. It is a command terminal program that allows you to listen to Pandora Radio in the Terminal.
you can get it by sudo aptitude install pianobar

what do you think about it?

Thanks electroman6913. Just installed in AntiX. I like the low footprint.this has

This is a must for pandora listeners on low spec computers. (128MB ram on down)

Looks a bit challenging to get lastfm to play for European listeners. I live in U.S and have a pandora account. So no big showstopper for me.

I got a mixture of classic rock 80's rock country and folk. I just started using Pandora more since I found pianobar. I'll post my stations once I get them all set up.
