Hi Chris, Indeed, you can install Pianobar and run it quite happily. There are ways to make installing most common Unix software almost like apt-get, though the latter itself hasn't been ported over I don't think. Consider sites like www.macports.org, which maintains an up-to-date copy of pianobar among many other packages, installed via a 'ports' command. Hope this helps, Zack.
