This Pandora sidebar gadget lets you play Pandora internet radio directly from Windows Vista's sidebar. When docked in the sidebar, it displays the currently playing song, along with the thumbs up/down options. When undocked, it displays the entire Pandora interface so you can log in, edit your stations, or create new ones.
64-bit workaround: Without a bit of tweaking, this gadget will not run on 64-bit Windows. This is because Adobe has refused to provide a 64-bit Flash player plugin. Check here for a workaround.
