Female: Then just go back from drama?
Male: Dude that was equal strip I want to try to do a couple of episodes to call for help it was a 10 hour drive. 700 miles, 1126 kilometers for the rest of the world.
Female: I would have been born on the line.
Male: Well I thought it was going to be but I brought my favorite site on the internet with me. My iPod saved my life and so did Matt from Monona University hooked me up with a program that allowed me to time shift Pandora.
Female: Wow.
Male: Okay let everybody know what Pandora is because it is like the coolest thing.
Female: Okay. Pandora is a site where you can go listen to music as your musician, here is the coolest part about it. You can customize radio station specifically for you. Pandora has a group of people who strictly listens to songs to tag them for certain vocal harmonics, mellow.
Male: Musical characteristics
Female: Mellow guitars, well if you like a band or you like a song by a band you can type the name of the song or the band itself like there whole stuff and it will search out trough all the music library and grab all the little tags that match and show you stuff that you might like or you might not like if you feel what they play and you can give it a thumbs down and they will not play like that anymore but if you give it a thumbs up they will play more stuff like that.
Male: Yes it is great at learning I gave it, let see the sheens and the killers and they suggested a Mogen hip which lead me to fisher spinner and then you hooked me up with jam and I think it is a great service. I actually pay for the three dollars amount for the accounts so I do not get the ads on the screen and it is really an amazing service I love it. I can not leave without it. I first heard about on inside the net and I have been using it ever since.
Female: When you told me about it I went to it and with in an hour I was in loved, I listen to it on the photo shopping now I am addicted.
Male: Well yes I listen to it at work but now I can listen to it in the car because I am time shifting it.
Female: Okay so is it that kind of not.
Male: Against the terms of service?
Female: Yes
Male: Well here is what I figure yes it is against there terms of service I guest right? But what I am doing is I am paying Pandora the three dollars a month okay? I am time shifting there songs you that I can listen to them in the car.
Female: Okay
Male: And then if I like what I hear I will go and buy the artist you know I head up to the iTunes music store and you know. I am supporting the artist I am supporting Pandora if I do not like the track I just going to delete it so I do not feel like.
Female: So sound like you are selling it for just for you.
Male: Yes it just like a personal use.
Female: It is just like a personal use strictly for you?
Male: But yes it is against there terms of service so do not sue us. It was Matt from Monona University.
Female: His fault, not his.
Male: Anyway let us take a look at it. So basically when you run Pandora, you are going to go ahead and play a song here and turn this down just a bit. What is doing is it will save this file in attempt folder so here you can see it is access to and if you renamed that to .MP3 that will work that is a MP3 file but it does not have a MP3 tag and does not have a file name.
Female: So this chip is just like a track one something like that it has no real name.
Male: Yes it is not going to be very iPod friendly at all. So what we have got here is this job outlet and I am going to go ahead and run Pandora that is about file distort it and then period for this directory and what it is going to do is use this program to scrape the artist name and the title of the track from the title bar in Firefox and create the ID three tags and the file name for it so it is copying access one and if I head over here to my Pandora folder, you can see there is my MP3 file. If I open that up there it is and wimp and it has got the correct ID3 tag and it is playing and it is exactly what I want and I can leave this java program running all night and then in the morning sink it up into my iPod, put on a playlist, listen to it on the way home from work.
Female: So you are good for a 10 hour drive?
Male: I am good for a 10 hour drive and I am writhing down stuff that I like so that when I get home I can download it on iTunes.
Female: Oh! I keep a notebook by my computer for the same reason.
Male: So I suggest everybody head over to our website check it out and thank you Mathew from Monona University for the awesome hook up.
Female: Thanks Matt.
