I am trying to convert the Java app found here:
http://jackinscoe.com/modules/news/ into a Mac double-clickable application. I think the file is like 250k and it has a double-clickable PC version in the download.
I don't have any Mac Java Developer Kits or anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Can they do it for me? |

If you've got Java installed, you should be able to double-click .jar files. I did, and got the following reported in the console:
/
USAGE:
java -jar pandora.jar [destination]
destination - the output folder where mp3s will be stored
if not specified, will default to My Music
* CAUTION - PLEASE READ:
* You MUST use firefox to access Pandora.
* You MUST have Pandora as the active tab in your browser.
*
* This application assumes that the second to last file in
* the pandora mp3 folder is the current song being played.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:194)
at Pandora.go(Pandora.java:42)
at Pandora.main(Pandora.java:38)
Which leads me to believe that this works in conjunction with a website. |

You can do the same in Safari with an applescript
and then use an app like iEatBrainz to get the id3 info

You need all the XCode (developer's toolkit) stuff. If you have Tiger (OS 10.4), I'm pretty sure it comes on the install DVD as an optional install package. |

The jar file is a file holding compressed files that the windows executable in the package calls on, it also Requires
Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1
& Java Runtime Environment 5
Below you will find a list of files that are in the compressed jar file, at the bottom is a list of the files/directories that are extracted from the jar file.

If you are really adventurous you could try mono to make this work. It's a .NET environment that runs on OS X. http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page
Since I don't have a mac, I can't really help you out more. |

Monster, that link about the Applescript actually helped me out quite a bit. Thanks for that. Unfortunately eat brainz doesn't seem to be working to well (but I'll keep trying it to give it more of a fair trial).
Monster, I didn't follow what you said when I read that the first time. Are saying that I still need to run the EXE file in a Windows environment?
Earlster, I don't know much about mono or .net but one sounds contagious and the other reeks of windoze which I am allergic too. Having said that I am curious enough to give it a try. Downloading now. If I have success I'll let you know.
Eponymous this works in conjunction with Pandora.com.
Jeff I'm running 10.3 not 10.4 so Xcode is out of the question. |

Not to get too into the DMCA non-compliant discussion, but it may also have to do with the way Pandora handles mp3 files with different browsers. Specifically, the Windows version requires .Net and Firefox. I don't know if Pandora on the Mac writes out temp mp3 files the same way.
I wonder what bit rate Pandora uses? 128K? Better? I find 128 to be way too low. I think Pandora is a really cool app, certainly a replacement for the (horrible) radio we get in New York, but I don't think the music is recorded at high enough quality to warrant saving the files. |

TomD: On the mac if you are using Safari, the files are saved in the hidden /private/tmp folder. The files are 128kbps 44.1 kHz, joint stereo MP3 files.
The quality might not be good enough for you, but it certainly is fine for other people. |

Blew,
Right, but I just stream music via a web page at pandora.com and it works just fine on my mac.
And XCode exists for 10.3 too. |

Nope, never had a MAC. Only money I have thrown towards Jobs so far is for my iPod. |
