I've got a feature idea and a question. First the feature idea: put the downloaded MP3s into separate directories named by the stations. I'm getting such a weird mix in one directory and I don't feel like going through and separating it all myself, so if it did this automatically that'd be great. Question: if I want to share this with someone who isn't rooted, how can I? In the past I could just share the .apk file with them and as long as they had "Unknown sources" checked it would work fine. With this I have no idea. Does it write the patches to a file somewhere that I can give them??

I can implement the first idea once I'm done with finals on Monday. The second inquiry, no you cannot, because this requires Xposed framework which requires root. My module patches Pandora in memory and not the apk itself. I do not know how to write smali, so I can't do an apk mod.

Hey, I found this APK to Java tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910873

I don't know how well it works, but it seems pretty interesting. With that being said, code injection is of course arguably more preferable given that it's far less time consuming once implemented and also by vitrtue of it's nondestructive nature.

Is there a way if you can remove the 100 station limit?

I would tend to doubt it since a user's station list would most likely be stored and managed server side.

I also think it's not possible to remove that limitation since it's stored server side (Pandora retrieves station list every login). On a side note, I think I will attempt the 192kbps mp3 once more (I know for a fact that it's not supported on original server)

After that can you please add..

1. Tags (This should be really easy for people who are on 4.4+ because kitkat added music info in lockscreen and such.)
2. Save songs in their station folder name. (I have stand-up station with Bill Burr etc and then music station).

Here's my to do list after today (in that order):
1. Download to station name folder (Done, release tonight after I get home from school)
2. MP3 tagging (Work in progress)
3. Region bypass
4. 192kbps MP3

Pandora has an option for higher bitrate audio, when selected (not counting the 128Kb/s that Patcher enables) what bitrate does it supply to non-paid subscription users? (I'm guessing that it is either a placebo or less than 128Kb/s)

For both subscribers and nonsubscribers, it supplies 64kbps AAC+ audio as high quality. This is intentional on Pandora's behalf. My patcher injects a request for 128kbps mp3 and replaces the high quality 64kbps aac+ URL with it.
