I used your instructions combined with a bit from the shell script from Isaac Hodes’ blog post (http://copperthoughts.com/p/lovely-pianobar/) and a Pandora icon I found on Google images (http://blog.caranddriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Pandora-App-Icon.png) to add the album name and Pandora icon to the Growl notification.

Just drop the Pandora icon in .config/pianobar and change the growlnotify line to:

growlnotify -t "Now Playing" -m "#{songinfo['title']} on #{songinfo['album']}nby #{songinfo['artist']}" --image=/Users/yourusername/.config/pianobar/Pandora-App-Icon.png

Thanks again!

I’ve since discovered: https://gist.github.com/832632/6bb39b85dda8f8212dc4b8bc6e7acd6b8c45d6eb which does both growl notifications and last.fm scrobbling.

(Permission denied) even after ensuring I don’t have any wierd hidden characters in my config file or my .rb file.

You can remove them easily with vi: at a shell, type: vi ~/.config/pianobar/config Press : (colon) Type ‘% s/’ Press Ctrl+V, then Ctrl+M Type ‘//’

The bottom of the vi window should look like ‘:% s/^M//’ Then press enter. All the ^M’s should go away.

Type ‘:wq’ and press enter again to quit.

If you aren’t comfortable with vi then just copy & paste the script into gedit instead of using the download button.
