Technical support is non-existent. I downloaded the latest version for use with Lion 10.7.2. The application does not record Pandora music. After following all help files at their website, I emailed them three (3) times.
Not a single reply to assist me with the non-recording issue. Regardless of price, if the company ignores customers, it is a useless product.

I love Pandorajam, love it!
And, thanks so much for the insight about Hear. My PJ stopped working two weeks ago and I couldn't figure out why, didn't have hours to chase it until yesterday. Found these comments yesterday, updated Hear, success!

Well, friends, thanks to the tireless support of Simon over at Bitcartel, I've got my PandoraJam working again. Apparently, the problem was caused by a conflict with "Hear", an app I just installed a short while ago. Here it is:

http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/27310/hear

I really like Hear, it's pretty awesome, but I can't live without PandoraJam, so until the conflict is fixed by Joesoft, I've uninstalled Hear from my system. Unfortunately, it must be completely uninstalled for PandoraJam to work (use FindAnyFile or a similar app to locate all of the pieces; simply deleting Hear won't do). Good luck to you all!

And thanks again to Simon at Bitcartel for the excellent support.

FYI: Hear has been updated to v 1.1.1 and it looks like they've fixed the problem; it now runs just fine alongside PandoraJam. Yay!

If you haven't tried it yet, I encourage you to give Hear a try. It's a great app and it's currently part of the MacUpdate bundle promo:

Wow... thank you very much for the info. I just installed Hear as well but didn't think to correlate the two apps. I just updated Hear and PandoraJam now works again. Thanks!

My PandoraJam has not worked since the first major update/change of the program. I've gone back and forth with tech support at Bitcartel. They are trying to address the problem ... Growl works, Flash player is installed, Pandora's website works fine. The possible system audio hacks are not an issue.
PJ opens up ... but no album art shows up in the window, nor does any music. When I change stations, the Growl notification comes up, I see a quick glimpse of album art, and then nothing - no art, no music. Nothing moves on the timer bar, nothing is downloaded.
Sure wish they'd fix it! The funny thing is that it DOES work on my Mac laptop. Same version of Safari, same 3rd party apps on the system, same updates other than laptop specific. So I have to use on laptop and then share the music with my main Mac.

PS: I also have IRecordMusic by Bit Cartel and it works at Pandora just fine. It can download music - it's just that the songs are not individually identified, can't seem to do more than ID by name of radio station. Don't understand why this app works at Pandora but PandoraJam does not.

Lullabylin, do you have an app called "Hear" installed on your system? If so, see my post above yours for a solution.

Installed the 2.0 (569) today on two macs 10.6.8 and last iTunes. The application runs Pandora fine but nothing get recorded. I tried all options and I have no sound hack on my systems. The only noticeable strange thing is Growl giving me a "on:null" on the song title. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I thought I recorded a lot of great Christmas music yesterday, but then checked iTunes and it says my last recorded PandoraJam song was Nov 20th. I just installed growl right now, and I am also getting the "on:null" for the song title :/

jimmyjoejohnson777 replied on 29 Nov 2011

Glad but also not so glad that I'm not the only one having this problem. My last song recorded was Nov 22nd so naturally I was surprised when Pandorajam wasn't recording songs anymore. I'm getting "(null)" as the album name which is listed under "on:". I noticed pandorajam lists the album for all ads as "(null)". Pandorajam does a great job at not recording ads but perhaps it incorrectly treats every song as an ad now?

Hope there's a solution out there! All these great songs are playing and not being downloaded!!!

Thecragus replied on 30 Nov 2011

I've had the same problem. No answer from Pandorajam...yet ;-). I suspect Pandora Radio has added something to the stream to keep Pandorajam from working as Nov. 20 seems to be my last recording. I just hope they fix this....

gerb3 replied on 30 Nov 2011

I am having this same problem, my last recording was on Nov 21st. I couldn't figure out if I had some sort of application conflict. I was about to restore my OS, but now i am glad to see others are also getting this error!!!

Pcsrevil! replied on 02 Dec 2011

Good news, they fixed the issue! I sent Bitcartel an email a few days ago. They responded today and asked if I had they most recent issue. I updated the issue two days ago trying to fix the problem but it didn't fix it. I checked again anyways and there was another issue update! "PandoraJam 2.0 beta (build 570)" I had some build that wasn't 570, can't remember, but now it works! Now I can record some unique Christmas music for my upcoming ugly sweater party :)

No idea why but the app won't load music anymore. Works fine on the website. I've re-installed the app several times, but to no avail. No idea what's going on.

I tried going back to the prior version (518), also tried rolling my Flash version back a release, but unfortunately it is no longer working as designed. :-( Only other change I can think of was iTunes.

Dr.-Girlfriend reviewed on 14 Oct 2011

The latest update (v2.0 518) added a number of bugfixes and now remembers your user login so you don't have to re-login at startup.

Use the "check for updates" feature while Pandorajam is running to get the latest betas.

Wow -- that was fast! Recording and iTunes integration have now been restored in Version 2.0 (502). Also, the album artwork appears to be of better quality (500px by 500px when available). Nice work, Bitcartel! Thank you.

STILL not passing "thumb ratings" on to Pandora in latest version (1.5). Occasional issues scrobbling to Last.fm.

Anyone else having trouble hiding PandoraJam? I press cmd-H, the window becomes inactive, the application "next in line" becomes active, but the window simply does not go away.

Else, PJ = teh awesome!

Similarly, last.fm scrobbling of thumbed-down songs occurs regardless of the preference setting.

Thanks for the update, Bitcartel, but the issue still persists: if "Tag recording with album artwork" is NOT selected, the artist and song title is added to iTunes under the same field (Name). Also, the album title is not tagged at all.

Workaround for users who prefer to apply their own higher quality album art is to keep "tag recording with album artwork" selected in PandoraJam, then manually remove the PJ applied coverart while in iTunes, and reapply higher quality album art with iTunes or the tagging app of your choice.

Still no 64bit love either :(

Still_Sparkling had trouble on 03 Aug 2009

After months of flawless performance, PandoraJam is giving me problems.

1. Does not auto load my user account and stations unless I specifically open Pandora.com via my browser (Firefox or Safari) and sign into the pandora.com website first. I then have to close the browser and re-open PJ. If I don't login via the browser first, PJ stays in the "new user" state and doesn't respond to attempts to login from within the program. Very annoying!

2. Song and artist info are garbled together in the “Song” field in iTunes; this makes it necessary to manually edit each recorded item and separately download cover art too. Ugh!

3. Sometime iTunes will not auto open even if the songs from PJ are set to auto record.

4. App does not respond to clicks on the menu (i.e. thumbs up, thumbs down, skip song, etc.).

5. Tons of errors in Console (but that's nothing new; previously I just ignored them because the app worked fine). Ex. 8/3/09 2:49:52 PM PandoraJam[5113] *** -[WebHTMLView sendNullEvent]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xd849db0 or 8/3/09 3:01:09 PM [0x0-0x24d24d].com.bitcartel.pandorajam[5248] AtomicParsley: option `--genre' requires an argument.

All of these things used to work properly prior to this version. I do not have a PandoraOne account and wonder if these bugs are due to the implementation of new features for PandoraOne users.

I wish I'd kept my previous version. Does anyone know where to download the older, more stable versions?
