I FINALLY got the pandora ripper to work. So I thought I would share if you guys wanna do it.
If you don't know www.pandora.com is a music site. Its awesome, you type in the name of a band you like then it finds new bands and songs and just streams them over your computer. You can then find new bands or songs you didn't know of etc...
Problem is you can't save the songs anywhere.
Hes how you save them
Requirements:
XP
Firefox
Java
First, install this firefox plugin
Its a flash switcher, you need to switch to flash player 8 for this to work. 9 WILL NOT WORK.
Heres some info on it
Once its installed, on the bottom right corner of firefox you will see the flash player icon. Click it and then from the menu it brings up select "Flash 8.0 rc24"
Download and install this:
DO NOT SKIP THE INFORMATION SCREEN. It has 1 other thing you have to do
This is what you have to do:
firefox has to be closed while doing this)
Step 1: Go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox
Step 2: Right click on a file named pluginreg.dat
Step 3: open with notepad
Step 4: Press Ctrl + F
Step 5: type in the word "flash" then press enter

Step 6: locate the 8.0 xxx R22
Step 7: replace the 8.0 xxx R22
with
9.0.21 d55
then save changes and close
Then you can launch the pandora program and it will tag and save every song you listen to.
Pretty damn slick if you ask me. I have had it going for about 24 hours and I have about 180 songs now. I would say about 85% of the stuff I get is good, and 70% of the bands I have not heard of before.
Just thought I would share if anyone is a music whore like me.
