About:
Pianod is a command-line and network-capable Pandora client that provides multiple control interfaces, including a rich terminal UI and a scripting-friendly daemon mode. It allows users to manage stations, playback, and playlists without a graphical desktop environment. Its main value proposition is delivering a lightweight, controllable music streaming solution for servers, terminals, and embedded systems.
Key Features:
  • Terminal-based user interface
  • Daemon mode with network control protocol
  • Scripting and automation support
  • Station and playlist management
Use Cases:
  • Running Pandora on headless servers or Raspberry Pi
  • Automating music playback via scripts and network commands
Alternatives:
  • pianobar – pianobar is a popular headless Pandora client with a simple terminal interface, but lacks pianod's built-in network daemon and multi-interface control.
