To install Pianobar, emerge it:
root # emerge pianobar
Pianobar configuration
Easy login
After you have emerged Pianobar, you can run it with pianobar. If you dislike typing your username and password every time that you run pianobar, create the file ~/.config/pianobar/config and add the following lines to it:
~/.config/pianobar/config password = YOURPASSWORD
user = user@email.com
Easy login (with encryption)
If leaving a plaintext password for your Pandora account somewhere on your filesystem makes you nervous, you can use gpg to decrypt a file that contains your password. Change your configuration to reflect the one below if you would like to encrypt your password:
~/.config/pianobar/config password_command = gpg --decrypt ~/.passwords/pianobar
user = user@email.com
