This one I am excited for, as it works pretty well. The same guy who brought us TSclientX worked on making PianoBar work under PowerPC. Huge thanks to Daniel!!
Sign in with your email and password, then select the Pandora station you want. This will tell you the track currently playing, and if you liked it, it'll have a <3 next to the title, as well as showing the duration of the song.
You can skip a song by pressing "n" on the keyboard. See the list below for various commands (below the image).
But this is awesome and I am stoked to have it, no more dealing with s**tty Safari to play Pandora music any longer.
If someone could try this under Tiger, and then using a G3 with Tiger and respond back here that would be appreciated
Works excellent with my G5 using Leopard.
OTHER REALLY COOL THING: Unlimited skips and NO ads!!
