What's the best way to rip and scrape Pandora streams?
I can't get Pandora's Jar (project abandoned about 5 years ago) to run on recent versions of Java. I'm trying a demo copy of Streaming Audio Recorder but I'd rather go digital to digital not digital to analog to digital. Does anyone know of a free alternative?

I've been playing around with Station Ripper and I think I will buy it. It sniffs the URL of the Pandora date files and handles scraping the names and meta data (artist, album, track, year, etc.)

When you run the Pandora jar, do you see any error messages?

You can download and install an older version of Java here: Oracle Java Archive
It should be fine as long as you don't make it the default version of Java on your machine.

I had 3 versions of java on my machine. With the two older ones I was getting "could not find the main class", with the very latest version "A Java exception has occured."
Meanwhile, StationRipper is working great both as a ripper and metadata scraper and I may just buy it for $20.
Yea, Windows 7 laptop because my home Linux box needs a new video card and a new water pump and I've been to busy to do anything with it. Plus my EliteBook Workstation with an i7, 2 SSDs, and 16 GB ram is probably significantly faster than my 4 year old high end desktop. It's about 2.5x faster than my Skulltrail 8-core Xeon server at work I'm thinking of getting another drive or SSD for the removable Bay with Linux on it. I've been really wanting to try Mint (have been a SuSE and Debian guy in the past) with Cinnamon.

If you want to play with it you can find two different binaries here. ShareAndFind.com - pandora jar download: 49 files. From what I gather they were made with jar2exe or some such shit. The source for 8.1.1 seems to have gone missing.
Personally I wouldn't mess with it.

Ironically hak5 (as well as cdc) is blocked at work but I can get all their code on Sourceforge

That's funny. A few of my customers have various sites blocked. More than one even blocks gmail. I just tunnel into my home box and route through there. The pr0n must flow.

None for me. I'd loose my job so quickly my head would spin.

Same here. That's just my obtuse humor at work. The obligatory pr0n comment whenever you use ssh to do something IT doesn't want you to combined with a quote from one of my favorite novels ... s/pr0n/spice/

All I've got to say is that for something that is 100% legal (and affirmed so by the US Supreme Court), it sure feels illegal

Cool. So did you give Station Ripper their 20 bucks or did you find another solution?
I'll probably give them $20 when the demo runs out. Problem is, with 8 stations across 3 general genres my new song rate is down to about 20%.
