For all you Pandora fans out there, I have put together a tutorial to show you how to keep the music you are listening to. If somehow you are not familiar with Pandora, I am not going to say anything about it other than please go check out www.pandora.com. The music you play from streaming services like these is actually downloaded on to your computer in a hidden folder called the cache, a cache is basically a temporary storage folder where files, web pages, images etc… are temporarily stored so when you re-vist that site or re-play the song, you don’t have to download it again the file is simply loaded from your cache folder. We are going to install an application that attaches itself to your internet browser (this only works in Internet Explorer) and installs a toolbar that grabs any music or videos you play on the net. So, in short this works for any music streaming site not just Pandora. Most sites use mp3’s but Pandora uses a Quicken format with a .MOV extension. Good news is you can convert these songs you downloaded from Pandora by getting a music converter that takes the song and spits it out as an MP3. Just type in “.mov to .mp3 Converter” in Google and you will get plenty of results. Feel free to post your favorite converter in the comments section.
