Bookmark Pandora songs with RTM

I was recently dissapointed to discover that after Pandora's recent site update they removed the option to bookmark a song. I often used this feature whenever a good song would come on and I wanted to remember to add it to my collection later.

My solution to this was of course to use Remember the milk so what I did was create a Music list where I can add tasks for each song that I want to get. Then I modified the RTM Quick Add bookmarklet so that when you're on pandora.com it gets the current song, artist and album info and sets that as the task name in the window that opens. It would be nice to automatically specify a music list or tag but RTM doesn't currently allow for that, however this is still pretty convenient for me and works better than bookmarking in pandora as I wouldn't check my pandora profile that often. This also works when scrolling back to previously played songs. If you use the bookmarklet on a site other than pandora.com it defaults to the behavior of the original bookmarklet.

The forums don't let me post a javascript link but if you're interested in using this bookmarklet I put it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2241987/rtm/index.html

I hope someone finds this as useful as I do!

You could use the mobile site in order to access all the meta info fields (except notes). Try this bookmarklet and add the song, artist logic etc to it:

javascript:(function(){h='m.rememberthemilk.com';p='/add';if(window.getSelection){t=window.getSelection();}else%20if(document.getSelection){t=document.getSelection();}else%20if(document.selection){t=document.selection.createRange().text;};cp='http://'+h+p+'?name='+((null==t||t==""||t==undefined)?encodeURIComponent(document.title):t)+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href);w=window.open(cp,'addwindow','status=no,toolbar=no,width=250,height=560,resizable=yes');setTimeout(function(){w.focus();},500);})();

You will have to log in to the mobile site every once in a while (weeks).
