Pandora Sidebar Gadget

Pandora's recent redesign has broken this gadget. :( You should probably use the official gadget instead.















The old page is below for great justice.



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: Check out this page for instructions for getting the gadget to work on 64-bit systems.
