Thanks for releasing the source! I noticed that you're not currently using the AudioFormat definition in the config xml. Any plans to code that in? I'd love to be able to get higher quality audio with my One subscription in the car.

I most certainly do plan on utilizing the higher quality audio ability of Pandora One. All that's preventing it now is my lack of motivation to sign up for a One account to test lol
I'll happily test for you if you don't want want to sign up for a One account, just let me know.Quote:

If you guys wanna test i'm going to upload the new build tonight. Enter the settings screen, select high audio quality and see if the kbps goes up to 192.
0.7.2 available now
Not sure, but I don't think all the content is available at 192kbps. I might be wrong about that. I know Spotify claims 320kbps for their premium service, but only about 30% of the content is available at that rate.
By the way, Sonic, there's an open source Spotify app for CF now too. I think its CFSpotify on codeplex. Search the CF forums for the Spotify thread if you're interested.

I wish i had the time to start a new project lol. Maybe sometime in the future! Thanks for the info though.
It doesn't seem to work for me either. I also inadvertently tried lower quality (64kbps) and saw no change so it would seem it's not requesting the right stream from Pandora's servers.
Also, don't know if it's just me, but I didn't have the audio quality setting in the skin file included with the installer. I just ended up inputting it manually into the XML.
forgot to add the skin file. It'll be included in the next build and i'll attach it here. Just remove the .txt from the attached file and put it in the carwings folder.Quote:

0.7.3 is a very small update which basically only adds the ability to see when playback is stopped due to either a connection interruption or buffering. The buffering percent and/or connection message will be displayed in the TRACKTITLE labels
Raises an interesting question: Since these apps are emulating the desktop/web app, WHY don't they get the higher quality stream? From the Pandora server's point of view, it's just another browser connection. In fact, since 3rd-party Pandora apps aren't "officially" recognized, the only way this (and the Centrafuse app and the apps they are based on) will work is by pretending to be a web browser. So again, why not the higher/lower quality streams?Quote:
