Description Jacob Adamson 2010-06-04 00:26:05 UTC 
Version:           2.3.1 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

There is an open-source library called libpiano that has been made to interface with Pandora's database. It works without using flash or a browser. It has full support for logging in, playing radio streams, and loving/banning songs. It is written in c++, so it may be fairly easy to implement. Some examples of implementation include Pithos, Pianobar, and the XBMC Pandora Plugin.

The code for pianobar and libpiano can be gotten from here:
git clone git://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar.git pianobar

Check it out XD. It would be awesome to finally be able to play Pandora streams from inside Amarok.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Sorry, but reverse engineering Pandora is likely not legal, please read their conditions.
Also, since Pandora is only availabele in the USA, it's not o much use for all the other Amarok suers.
You can of course write a script for Amarok, please see our scripting guide here: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/Scripting_HowTo_2.0

Please do not reopen this report, we have already closed previous wishes about Pandora.
