It seems some people aren't clear on the fact that this is a reverse-engineered client for Pandora's XML-RPC API. That API is *not* open to third-party use, from Pandora's perspective. At best they will ignore you if you contact them, at worst you may be violating their TOS and will have your account deleted.

The only way (again, from Pandora's perspective) to listen is through the Web, or through the apps published by Pandora themselves. For many of us this isn't an acceptable choice, hence the existence of projects like these. Much like AOL did 10+ years ago, from time to time they make changes that are largely designed to break programs like Pithos. So you have to deal with issues like these coming up. Welcome to the world of open source.
