Description

I have been a happy Synergy user for quite a while now and it has been a great product. I do have a request that I thought of recently as I have seen reference to last.fm lately.

Is there some way to add global hot key support for Pandora? I have been using that lately, but have gotten so used to using my iTunes hot keys for play/pause. volume, etc... that I find myself struggling without that in Pandora. (I use PandoraMan rather than the website, but still no hotkeys... PandoraBoy does, but find it has a bad memory leak).

Anyway, it would be nice if you could add that...

Regards, Brian

    Haven't heard of Pandora before. Do you have a link for a site so I can learn what it is and what it does etc?

    Pandora is part of the Music Genome Project. You tell it a band you like, and it will play a some from them, then other songs rom other artists that are similar in many ways. I find it an amazing way to discover new music, but very simialr to something you like. You can make channels of different groups as well.

    Anyway the link is www.pandora.com

    Check it out.

    Just got another request for this so adding some more info:

    As this is a US-only service (non-US IP addresses are blocked) and I am not in the US, seems unlikely this will get implemented.

    Ticket #597 is actually a dupe of this one, but I hadn't marked it as such yet. Here's the description for that one:

    I've received a request for Pandora support, but it could be a little tricky for the time-being, because when I go to http://pandora.com/ this is what I see:

    We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for most listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

    We believe that you are in Spain (your IP address appears to be 80.58.205.40). If you believe we have made a mistake, we apologize and ask that you please contact us at pandora-support@pandora.com

    I may be able to somehow route things through a proxy in the US (could be tricky) but until Pandora changes its policy or I find a technical workaround I'm just going to add this issue to the database so it doesn't get forgotten.
