For the most part, everything is working on my new pangolin. The only problem I am having is with Pandora. No problems with youtube or other similar sites. Pandora does work, but usually I can only get 1 or 2 stations to play, all the rest just respond "Pandora is taking longer than usual to find a new song, try one of your other stations".

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash, but that hasn't changed anything. Pandora will not allow me to create a new station either, same response, it just sits there. Also, when playing a station that will actually load, periodically it will just cease playing and come up with the same message. Any thoughts on this?

Here is the output from about:plugins in ff.

Shockwave Flash

File name: npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48

MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes

Nah, it's a Pandora issue. Happens on Windows, too.

"Pandora is taking longer than usual to find a new song..."

Maybe it's just busy.

That has been my experience cross-platform. ;)

I'm curious if you've tried any other music-streaming clients, like live360 or last.fm.

slackers fun too.. i prefer Pandora though, as there no commercials. Pandora works fine for me btw. do you have any thing that interferes with your wifi? I've seen non intensive sites do fine with interference then flash site suck wind... but flash sucks to begin with so that could be the issue...
