About pianod2
pianod2 runs as a central music server or scriptable playback backend. It can use a personal music collection and multiple Pandora accounts, with controls available through a browser or phone. Included clients provide standard playback controls, a console, and a display for album art and track information.
It supports multiple users, playlist selection based on listener ratings, and network control over WebSockets or TCP. The project provides source and downloadable releases.
