I did think of some things though.
There is no Quick mix function? or am i missing it?

When on cellular network more times then not it seems the album art donsn't dl.(not a big deal for me)

Also for us 2.5g Att ppl, and I had mentiond this in a previous post, can we look into a longer buffer, or a crappier stream to handle the data rates on the network. While standing still, and no windows open, i still dont get a full song to play with out a buffer pause. On my net work it works great.


Thanks agian!
What updates do you mean? Only thing I've changed recently was the create new station stuff. You shouldn't notice any visual difference.

As far as buffer times and such, that would really all handled in the pianobar source code and I've been attempting to keep from modifying that source code directly so I can keep it as close to upstream as possible. I can take a look and see but C/C++ isn't my strongest language.

As far as audio quality, as I've mentioned, there is 3 available options in ~/.config/pianobar/config for the setting "audio_format". There is supposed to be mp3, aacplus, and mp3-hifi.

Unfortunately, I didn't compile pianobar with the aacplus support so really the only options are mp3 and mp3-hifi, with hifi being the better quality and only available to Pandora One subscribers.

I'll look into getting aacplus compiled in and see if it helps any. I seem to think I was missing a dependency, but they all appear to be in the repo's now so I'll give it a shot.

As for the QuickMix - It should show up as a normal station called like "pandora102395's QuickMix"

I'll work on all this for the next versions, for now - I really need to get some working versions into Extras as the current ones are broken. This getting 10 votes is seriously a PITA.
