Quick question: do you know of a way to modify the buffer time length in pianobar? Although I'm a Pandora One member, I get stuttery playback using the "mp3" setting in pianobar's config over my 3G or 3.5G connection when moving (ie, in a car). Contrast to the official Pandora app on my wife's Cliq over 3G, which has no problems. I'm thinking it's just an issue with the buffer size.

Thanks!
You literally just beat me to it! I was actually wondering if this was possible as well because in congested areas, during rush hour, and just whenever it wants, my playback gets extremely(unusable) choppy. Its still fetching data, but it just takes its sweet time. Is there a way that Pianobar can possibly fetch the data a little bit before the song begins playing? I have no problem waiting for the song, but it's a real headache when it basically teases you by playing a couple of seconds and pausing frequently. I know I'm always asking for something new, but the app is SO close to perfect.
