Patched version 0.6.8 is ready.
It fixes the layout problem after recent changes to Pandora layout.
This is only an initial fix and an official update will come later.
Remark: The OpenPandora update mechanizm will try to load this page http://openpandora.googlepages.com/download/, but due to a problem with GooglePages it will not be recognized. The correct URL is this one http://openpandora.googlepages.com/download, without the slash (/) at the end. This is a new issue with GooglePages and I hope they will fix it soon.
Enjoy your music.

New pants for Pandora
Pandora just changed the look of their site and the player, slightly broking OpenPandora.
The new site does look much better, also adding more functionality to the player.
I'm working on a patched version. Stay tuned.

You can use public CGI-PROXY located in US to surf the net as if you was surfing in US.
Some random proxies can be found here: http://tools.rosinstrument.com/cgi-proxy.htm. Just type the site you want to reach, like http://pandora.com.

Pandora is closing
Pandora is closing the access for users outside U.S.
Form their letter:
"Today we have some extremely disappointing news to share with you. Due to international licensing constraints, we are deeply, deeply sorry to say that we must begin proactively preventing access to Pandora’s streaming service for most countries outside of the U.S."
and
"On May 3rd, we will begin blocking access to Pandora to listeners from your country."
Sad day, but I hope this is only temporary. They do save user accounts, and promise to provide the service outside U.S. in the future. Time will tell.
Thinking positively, this may also help to web radio. New companies outside U.S. will emerge and provide similar service. In the long run, we will only gain.
I don't know how this will effect OpenPandora development, since I'm living outside U.S.
I'll post more later.
