Pandora via the Command Line on Ubuntu 10.04

I’ve been using a really great command line app to listen to Pandora on my laptop lately, it’s called Pianobar. You can install it by running the following commands:

cd ~
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libao-dev libmad0-dev libfaad-dev
wget https://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar/tarball/master
tar xvf Promy*.tar.gz
cd Promy*
make
sudo make install

That’s it! You’ve installed Pianobar on Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx. Now just run pianobar to start the Pandora CLI app. Please refer to man pianobar for further usage instructions
