Pandora Clients Added for Slackware 13.37

Mike — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:06:23 +0000

I’ve added Slackware packages for two different Pandora clients, pianobar (version 2011.12.11) and Pithos (version 0.3.14). Pithos is a graphical GTK+ client, while pianobar is a command line client. Both of the clients are fairly full featured, allowing you to do things like add/remove stations and like/dislike/skip/sleep songs.
