pianod (legacy version)
The newer pianod2 supports multiple concurrent Pandora or filesystem sources, a better client, requests, shuffle modes, crossfading, a JavaScript protocol and many other improvements.
This legacy version of pianod is retained here only
for those already using. It has not been maintained in over 10
years. Use pianod2
instead.
*The last release was December 2015. This software has not been updated in 11 years, however, updates and maintenance have been made to the successor, pianod2.
With the goal of not leaving rotting garbage sitting on the Internet, this edition will disappear at the end of 2026. Preserve the tarball if you need it.
If you think this is the wrong action on my part, please send me an argument via e-mail.
