I have been using mpd to listen to my music on the Dockstar, but I was looking for a way to use Pandora for some new tunes. After searching I found the perfect solution---pianobar--a console-based pandora client.
Here are the steps I used to get it running.
- Get the latest version of pianobar from here
- Install dependencies
- liba0 can be downloaded from here
- For the other dependencies I used
sudo apt-get install libfaad-dev libmad0-dev
- Compile and Install
- make
- make install
- Simply use the command 'pianobar' and your good to go.
Note: I had to edit the /etc/asound.conf file as I was getting some really bad popping noises.
This seemed to stop it but I'm open to other solutions.
/etc/asound.conf
//insert this and remove everything else from the file
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm hw
}
