Command-line Pandora client.

Background

A panharmonicon is an instrument invented in 1805 by a friend of Beethoven. It was similar to a player piano in that it could automatically play specially programmed music, but had the capacity to imitate all instruments and sound effects, including gunfire and cannon shots.

Screenshots

Scalable interface that provides full featureset in as little as 6 lines, and intelligently scales interface elements down to 3 lines (although one line works, too!).

On terminals that support it, allows mouse interactions with the interface. Station select, volume control, pause, resume, skip to next song, rate tracks, and remove track ratings all using your keyboard or mouse.

Features

• Visually select a station from a list

• Display current track, playback time, and volume

• Rating tracks (thumbs-up/down), and removing the rating from a track

• Support for caching tracks before playing them, providing robustness against network issues during playback

• Keybindings:

  Key	Action
  q	Quit
  .	Pause
  >	Unpause
  p	Toggle pause
  (	Volume down
  )	Volume up
  n	Skip to next track
  t	Track is 'tired', suspend it for a month
  +	Thumbs-up track
  -	Thumbs-down track
  =	Clear track rating

Build Requirements

On linux, build requires the libssl-dev (openssl headers) and libasound2-dev (alsa headers) packages to be installed.

TODO

• Add station editor (add/remove station seeds, directly edit track ratings, create/delete stations)
• Add help/about window
• Add message/info box
• Add keybinding configuration
• Add user-configurable themes
