================
pianod is a derivative work based on libpiano & libwaitress and inspired by
pianobar by Lars-Dominik Braun <lars@6xq.net>.  Without his Pandora libraries,
this project would be impossible.  Thanks Lars!

pianobar:

- play and manage (create, add more music, delete, rename, ...) your stations
- rate played songs and let pandora explain why they have been selected
- show upcoming songs/song history
- configure keybindings
- last.fm scrobbling support (external application)
- proxy support for listeners outside the USA
