How to Fix Pandora’s Jar error: “unable to rip MP3 null”
June 8, 2006 on 11:42 am | In software, music, mp3 |Lemme guess - Pandora’s Jar was working just fine for you, but then all of a sudden it stopped working?
The reason is that the Pandora Music Service changed the way that Pandora saves temporary music files to your computer.
Fortunately, there is a fix available.
User “Cooper” at Hak.5 posts this update in the Hak5.org forum:
Seems Pandora once again updated their program to store the downloaded MP3 file using a different name format.
To fix this, please replace the pandora.jar file from your current installation with this one:
http://comicnut.speedxs.nl/pandora.jar
So there you have it - the fix is at http://comicnut.speedxs.nl/pandora.jar I installed the updated version of the java .jar file and was back to saving mp3’s with no problem whatsoever.
I imagine that the music service will keep making changes. As they do, check back here or the Hak5 forum for updates.
Happy Sampling!
