Android I need a Pandora app

henry_moh · 04-08-2010, 09:18 PM

It is available in Android App store, but cannot download it to my eDGe

I tried to run Pandora, but it can't get music for some reason.

cheyennedonna · 04-09-2010, 11:19 AM

It installed, and I could log in, but it said it could not retrieve music. Unfortunately Pandora's web page runs flash. I've been looking for another music streaming app.

I emailed Pandora for support and this was the reply I got

"Thanks for sending that info. Since you are getting a message that states you are unable to retrieve music, it is likely that your device is not support playback of AAC+ audio which is what we we stream to the Android application."

It looks like no Pandora for now.

any ideas if this is something we can expect to use?

The Developer pages for Supported Media Formats says it is supported, but I think the page is discussing Android 2.1. However, I do find plenty of other devices running Android 1.6 that state AAC+ format is supported. The problem may be the contents of the file falls outside the expected bit rate/sampling rate for AAC+, or the file extension is wrong.

Format:
AAC LC/LTP
HE-AACv1 (AAC+)
HE-AACv2 (enhanced AAC+)

Details:
Mono/Stereo content in any combination of standard bit rates up to 160 kbps and sampling rates from 8 to 48kHz

Filetypes supported:
3GPP (.3gp) and MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4a). No support for raw AAC (.aac)

Another possibility is that Android supports the format in files, but doesn't support streaming it.

That's odd, I've ran the Pandora app in the past. And the eDGe does support .AAC audio files.

Do you know what version of Pandora you installed?

Going to Pandora.com they just tell me to download the android app, even when I change browser mode. Where can I get the apk?

I am listening to Pandora on mine now...but never tried it before the upgrade
(I got it from a backup of my MotoDroid. It is not full screen but since I don't use Pandora for graphics I doubt I'll do anything about that)
