Pandora uk by developer Francisco Garza is a Mac client for the Pandora music streaming service. It lives in your Mac’s menu bar and offers easy access to all of your existing Pandora channels and playback controls, plus the ability to create new channels, tweet what you’re currently listening to, and go directly to iTunes or Amazon to purchase songs.

(In case you’re wondering, the name of this app appears to be missing an apostrophe to denote the possession of said Box, which kills me to type but what  can you do? )

If you’re not already familiar with Pandora, it’s an online music service where you can create your own personal radio stations based on music you like. Pandora has offered its own official Pandora Radio iPhone and iPad app in the App store for several years now. Pandora is free and ad-supported, with the  option to upgrade to a premium account that removes all ads and offers higher quality audio and more. Pandoras Box works with both free and paid premium  accounts and uses the higher quality audio files available to those with premium accounts.

Pandoras Box also offers Growl integration, showing notifications on your screen according to your personalized Growl settings each time a new song starts to  display the artist, song title and album name, a useful feature that helps me take note of new artists and songs I haven’t heard before without pulling my  focus entirely away from what I’m doing.

Though it’s possible to listen to Pandora through your web browser right on the Pandora site, I keep far too many browser windows open as it is and prefer a  standalone app that offers customizable keyboard shortcuts and quicker access to give current songs a thumbs up or down and see what’s currently playing and  Pandoras Box does exactly this with no problems.
