Open Pandora is a freeware application that adds features to Pandora, the famous music service that finds new music of similar taste for you. Pandora itself is designed to function in your browser making it rather uncomfortable to listen to the music. Enter Open Pandora:
The tool adds functionality to Pandora like the ability to minimize Pandora to the tray with the tray icon tooltip displaying the currently played song. It offers full control from the tray or an multimedia keyboard (play, pause or skip). It has some rather unique features as well, namely the ability to send song information to last.fm, Microsoft messenger or xfire.
Last but not least global shortcuts make it easier to use Pandora. You can change stations, hide and unhide the window or change the station to quickmix with them. Oh, one thing that I almost forgot to mention – it is able to display the songs lyrics in an external window.

i *DEFINITELY* recommend this piece of software. It’s clean and stellar and the guy who develops it is a damned fine fellow.
Not a bad app prefer the other one out there though called pandoras box. you can get it at www.cfdan.com plus I liked the feature this one has of being able to post what you listing too to your own blog.
I like the program alot, but as I like pandora, I vote stay in the browser, and support this wonderfull FREE service with their ad revenues. (just my 2 cents)
This piece of software deserves an award! It’s super, mega, hyper brilliant!!
keep the good work boys!
HOWEVER as of Dec 21.06 with the addition of a flash based banner, pandora jar is shattered! Moving to fix… stay tuned.
Has anyone tried the software on http://www.pandorasbanana.com? I checked out the site but can’t install from this pc since i don’t have admin rights. It claims to be able to minimize as well.
never mind, I just realized I’m not talking to anyone since this post is soo old.. Duh!!
