This is actually incorrect now. I don't have the exact amounts that it takes anymore.. but I used to depend on the entire python2.5-qt4 binding package... which was a massive load of useless modules that I didn't need or use.

Now it specifically depends on python2.5-qt4-gui for the version in the Repo.. and the next one will include 2 more... So it won't be 44MB anymore (or at least it shouldn't be.)

I have it on my N810 and don't have a problem.

The next version of pyPianobar ... I just dunno what to do with. It includes an album cover loader but while it's grabbing that data on an N810.. it stutters the pianobar music . I am trying to work on that.. but I think it's just a problem with the N810 processor handling threads.

ETA:

One question about the command-line version....is there a way to get it to store login information? I found the config file in the pianobar directory and edited it, but it didn't seem to make any difference, so I'm guessing the application doesn't really use that file (?).
It will use the file:
/home/user/.config/pianobar/config

You need to uncomment (remove the #) username and password fields and fill them out appropriately.
