Getting around Pandora’s 40-hour monthly limit
In the past 6 months or so Pandora has implemented listening restrictions on their free service. It’s really quite simple to get around this limitation, you just need more than one Pandora account. You might be thinking, well what about my radio stations?? Pandora allows you to share your stations with your friends, just share your stations with yourself. If you don’t already have more than one email address, go out to gmail and register a second address, or even a 3rd or 4th. GMail let’s you forward all email to a single account, so as an example, I would just set up webguypandora1@gmail.com, webguypandora2@gmail.com, etc. and forward them each back to webguy@greatwebguy.com. Whenever you hit that 40 hour limit, just simply logout and log back in with a different account. You’re other option would be to just pay the $36/year subscription

Pandora cutting out using naviplay bluetooth stereo dock with iPhone
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
I have an iPhone 3G and recently bought a Naviplay bluetooth transmitter off of Amazon for $6 so that I could stream to my Sony S805 bluetooth headphones, since the bozo’s at Apple decided to not make the bluetooth stereo protocol available directly from the iPHone. Yes both of these work with the iPhone, even

It’s no news that Ubuntu has been getting a lot of press lately for it’s ease of install, ease of use, and fantastic packaging system, allowing you to install tons of software very easily. I’m writing this post from my newly installed Ubuntu laptop. I’ve done Linux installs before, many years ago and always ran
Browser Hack: Speeding up Firefox and IE
about 3 years ago - No comments
Digging around today, I ran into this hack to allow Firefox to open more connections and to wait less time before rendering a page. It’s been a common hack for IE over the years, but I wasn’t aware there was something similar available for Firefox, it’s a noticeable difference if your on broadband. In firefox,
Google Apps Rocks!!!

I just signed up for the standard Google Apps account, which is free, and I’m extremely impressed. Any small business stands to save tons of money if they only used it for the email service. All you need to have to sign up is your own domain name, and the ability to modify your MX

Pandora’s system is just a bit more complex than making a new email address, actually. You’re utterly wrong.

Well I guess I’ll just keep listening to my utterly wrong music, if all else fails I can delete my cookies or switch browsers, but I’m sure you’re right…LOL

Had to laugh again this morning…I signed out of 1 account and into another without even deleting cookies…

actually, i have 3 accounts, and it says that it can only have 40 hours per computer…not email address…and switching browsers didnt help…gotta go delete some files

It is 40 hours per computer, not account. If it was as simple as signing in with different accounts then Pandora nipped that one pretty quick.
The real work around is deleting cookies.

Now I’ve heard this twice, but haven’t run into this problem. I’m using Chrome and have never had to delete my cookies to continue using Pandora after my limit is up.

Yeah, the OP is right. I just followed the link and deleted cookies and such. Still had no luck but made a new account and am listening just fine.

If you are having trouble with the 40 hour limit and try switching accounts when after you already reached the 40 hour limit but it still is saying you have reached the limit, what you should try is before getting 40 hours on an account, say 35 hours, you switch accounts, then it will work.

So I have been tootling around with the OSX work around. I was unable to sign back in with my original email (still showed 4 hours remaining) however after deleting the cookies and pandora.com files I was able to create a new account in pandora (I use Station Ripper AWESOME BTW!) and vuala My new email does show 40 hours. So the way I see it is I should beable to use three email accounts, thats 120 hours of music per month. Also there is a .bat file you can keep on your desk top that will delete the files for you… makes it pretty simple http://tech4eleven.com/549/get-past-pandoras-listening-limit/ Have fun!!

I can also change accounts and keep listening without a problem or having to delete cookies. Also using Chrome, maybe it’s browser specific.

I’m at work using a Windows 2000.
The files are located in a different place I’m assuming since I cant find Macromedia in the “USERNAME” folder.
Any ideas where I can find the files I need to delete on this old computer?
about 1 month ago
Wouldn’t it be better just to make a run bat file that runs when you turn off the computer to delete the file in question, this way you never have to repeat the same step.
2nd thing you can do is even better
Ready, If you have firefox just get “NoScripts”, download, install, and when your on Pandora allow only Pandora.com, it should be the first one on the list.
3th thing an easy one when changing stations hit reload on your browser and with noscrips it will reload by passing all the stops and start the music asap..
