PandoraBoy: Free Standing Pandora Client

We've previously posted about a widget that lets you run the Pandora streaming music service. Yesterday, I ran across something called PandoraBoy that basically wraps the Pandora flash player in some code so that it will run on its own outside of a browser. The cool thing about PandoraBoy, however, is that it allows you to control your Pandora experience using Global hotkeys, AppleScripts, or even the Apple Remote. In addition, it supports Growl for notification of track changes. Overall, it looks like a really good way to run Pandora, especially if, like me, you often crash your browser.
PandoraBoy is a free download and Open Source.

I can report the same problem of not advancing to a new track when minimized -- I sent the developer a quick note about that. I wonder if there's something in the Pandora code that wants to make sure you're seeing the Amazon ads while you're listening...?

Check out PandoraFM :)

(It uses it through the webpage interface though... perhaps someone can combine these two in a single program. ;)
I like PandoraBoy... however, I'm noticing that whenever the window is minimized, it won't automatically advance to the next track until I open the window back up.
Is there a Pandora client that posts tracks to Last.fm? That would be awesome.
