- play and manage (create, add more music, delete, rename, ...) your stations

- show upcoming songs/song history
- configure keybindings
- last.fm scrobbling support (external application)
- proxy support for listeners outside the USA

Basically. You can put your headphones on and listen to pandora radio through a terminal without opening a browser while working on other things like office work, pictures, whatever. You can also listen while surfing the web without opening pandoras site. You will need a pandora radio account and set up some radio stations before installing pianobar.

Debian and Ubuntu should have it in their package managers. Just be sure to hit the reload button in the package manager before doing a search for pianobar. For Puppy Linux. I have successfully installed and ran this in Puppy Linux 5.1.1 and Puppy 5.2. For Puppy Linux. I got the installable pet package from Here. This is what it looks like running in Puppy Linux. Hmmmmmm. I might have found one for you windows users also.

Just fixed Ubuntu 10.04. Show thread.

Would it not be nice if they made something that just worked properly, all the damn time {besides XP of course...LoL}
