If you’re looking for information on how to use Pandora’s Jar, check here for my article called How to save music from Pandora using Pandora’s Jar

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:

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!
