Getting Pandora’s Jar to work with the Lastest Pandora Update - 6/10/06

June 10, 2006 on 2:03 pm | In software, music, mp3 |


The Pandora music service updated their code last night. If you’re a Pandora’s Jar user, you may have noticed that the Pandora player is no longer appearing on your Pandora’s Jar page.

Not to worry - here’s how you fix it.

  1. Locate your Pandora’s Jar directory. If you followed my instructions when you set it up, that directory is c:\pandora . Open the Directory.
  2. There’s a file in there called “pandoraGrabber.html”. Open it in a text editor.
  3. Search for the string “https://www.pandora.com:443/radio/tuner_6_9_0_4.swf”. Change it to “https://www.pandora.com:443/radio/tuner_7_0_0_0.swf”. It appears twice, so you should make two replacements.

That’s it - restart Pandora’s Jar and you should be up and running.

If you’d prefer to make the edits, you can download a copy of the updated pandoraGrabbler.html here. Right click, choose “Save as,” and copy the file into your Pandora directory. NOTE that you’ll have to remove the “.txt” from the file extension!
