Tim here. Have you tried "pianobar" as a command-line interface to Pandora? For Spotify, there's "shpotify" https://github.com/hnarayanan/shpotify which isn't in my Debian repo, but might do what you need to listen there. I'm afraid I don't do much streaming music as I just have accrued a

I had zero success with Pandora. I'm currently trying out Spodify's web player but it's difficult to use and has no perceiveable volume control. Either of these might have an accessible iPhone app but I want to listen with headphones on my computer while I code. What services do y'all use?

I have gnome and gnome-extra on the system and removed mate and mate-extra by now. I have managed to login with gnome and proved it by running gnome-terminal then using the backspace key a few times until I heard repeated beeps each time I hit the key. I ran speaker-test inside

I got things up to login and did that and got the screen-saver after that. When I ran orca I had sighted assistance looking at the screen and orca did not come up talking. It did show all of its settings on screen though. As a result, I removed mate and mate-extra and orca and brltty and
