Ok, so i know we have pianobar / PianoPPC and they both work great, but i sometimes like to look at album art. Lol. Anyway, i found a way to get pandora's website player working. It isn't perfect, but it works.

Upon first logging in, you WILL get a few playback and UI glitches, but they smooth out after the whole player/page layout finishes loading (usually within the first 5-10 seconds). CPU use averages 50-70% on my 1.42ghz iBook G4. So in reality, this is more proof of concept as it isn't as efficient as pianobar.

Sometimes the web player fails to load. If that's the case the app will tell you so. Just exit the app, wait a few seconds and relaunch it.

I know for sure it's not 100% stable, and it'll turn your iBook in to a lap furnace, but hey, it works. Kind of. ;)

PianoPPC worked great.

Also, I discovered by accident today that NPR podcasts still work in iTunes 10.6.3. I just wish others would as well.
