Pandora was fine but can’t even listen any more. AlI get is “It’s taking longer than expected to figure out the perfect song to play next. The music should be playing soon, but if you get tired of waiting, try switching to one of your other stations.” Had this before every now and again but now it seems to be permanent. Doh! Noticed that my sign-in details don’t seem to be remembered these days either and when I did so, my quick-mix of artists comes up on the left, as normal but the horizontal scrolling “covers” playlist doesn’t start and eventually I get the error box. Significantly, I get the same problem on different computers in my home and also different browsers, which makes me think it might be something to do with the proxy I use, as this seems to be the common factor. Anyone else having trouble? Any suggestions?

Never mind downloading! Pandora was fine but can’t even listen any more. AlI get is “It’s taking longer than expected to figure out the perfect song to play next.

Hey Jason, Thanks for this article, great info. Recently my cache no longer shows the incoming songs from Pandora. I wonder if they changed the location?

This method no longer works with Deezer – I’d suggest using other music sources such as Grooveshark.

Help! I followed all the instructions correctly but after the song loads, the cache folder is only full of 400KB’s and a couple that are less than 400KB. There is none above 1000KB and when I try to rename a 400KB to .flv extension, it only plays part of the song. Please help.

I doubt there’s a real solution as of now – I would just use a different website. Grooveshark often provides music files with a higher bitrate (though less consistent among files).

Agree with Gerard. It does not work any more for Deezer. The cache folder shows a series of 400kB capped files for me. I cannot get the full file.

I added the flv extension to one of the 400kB files. It sounds like the original file, but with random bits of less than 1 second each. It seems that the song contents has been shuffled. I looks as something smart done by Deezer.

Is there a trick in Proxomitron or Firefox settings to bypass this and get the full file?

For other sites, it still works as described(tried on http://listen.grooveshark.com ). It is just a change in Deezer.
