About Pandora
Pandora streams songs, albums, playlists and podcasts. The free service is ad-supported. A subscription plan removes the ads and lets you pick exactly what to play instead of listening to stations.
It runs in a web browser and on mobile phones, desktops, TVs, smart speakers and in the car. The web player asks you to turn off ad blockers before it will load. It suits listeners who want a mainstream streaming service rather than a player for their own files.
