This is a thin emacs interface for Pianobar, a Pandora Radio <http://pandora.com/> command-line client. Pianobar was written by Lars-Dominik Braun, among others, and can be found at <http://6xq.net/html/00/17.html>. `pianobar.el` itself can be found at <http://github.com/agrif/pianobar.el/>. It is licensed under the GNU GPL v3. See `LICENSE` for details. There are brief installation instructions at the top of `pianobar.el`. After installing `pianobar.el`, see below for information about usage. Please note that this is a *very* early development version, written mostly for myself to use. Suggestions, improvements, and bug reports are welcome. Usage ===== Pianobar is started with `M-x pianobar`, or you can bind a key to the `pianobar` function manually. `pianobar.el` will put the current playing song in the modeline. Once Pianobar is running, you can type commands manually in the `*pianobar*` buffer (like using shell-mode), or you can use the following, key-bindable commands: M-x pianobar-love-current-song -- tell Pandora you love this song M-x pianobar-ban-current-song -- tell Pandora to ban this song from this station M-x pianobar-next-song -- skip to the next song (but don't ban/love) M-x pianobar-play-or-pause -- toggle play/pause state M-x pianobar-change-station -- bring up the `*pianobar*` buffer with a station-change menu Customization ============= `pianobar.el` requires Pianobar to be installed somewhere in your path. If it's not, you can set the variable `pianobar-command` to be the path to the Pianobar executable. (As of right now, `pianobar.el` expects Pianobar to use the default key bindings. It works even if you change them, but the control commands won't work. You'll just have to switch to the `*pianobar*` buffer and control it manually.) You can set `pianobar-username`, `pianobar-password`, and `pianobar-station` to automatically login and connect to a station. Note that `pianobar-station` must be a *string* containing the number used to select the station you want through Pianobar. If you leave any of these unset, you will be prompted for the info instead. If you set `pianobar-run-in-background` to `t`, `M-x pianobar` will *not* show the `*pianobar*` buffer after running. This is useful if you set the above auto-login variables. `pianobar-global-modeline` will eventually be used to decide whether to change the modeline on all buffers, or just the `*pianobar*` buffer. Right now, it does nothing; it always changes the global modeline. There are many other, lesser-used variables available to customize Pianobar. Use `C-h v` and take a look at all the variables prefixed with `pianobar-`. If you want to write your own Pianobar commands (especially for those not yet bound to an interactive function), you can use `pianobar-send-command`, which accepts a character to send to the current Pianobar process. It also takes a second, optional argument: whether to make the Pianobar buffer active. For example, `M-x pianobar-next-song` runs `(pianobar-send-command ?n)`, while `M-x pianobar-change-station` runs `(pianobar-send-command ?s t)`.
