OpenPandora Desktop Client Rocks!

It's no secret that we're Pandora Radio fans here at the NetworkingAudioVideo headquarters and in the few weeks we'll have a review of the ITC-IR1000B Wi-Fi Internet Radio. The ITC-IR1000B was sent to us by friends at Grace Digital and lets you stream Pandora Radio anywhere in the house.
In the meantime, we listen to a lot of Pandora Radio on our computer. The only issue we have with Pandora is since it plays in a web browser window, were always accidently closing the browser and losing our music. We then have to open the browser again to start our music. Now that may not seem like a big deal but we're a bit lazy here at the headquartes and we don't want to restart our music every fiteen minutes just because we're click-happy.
So imagine our surprise when we found the OpenPandora Project. Basically OpenPandora is free Windows software that lets you play your music without having a browser open. The nice thing about the player is that the great look and function of the Pandora website resides in the player giving a familiar feel. Another nice feature is while the player is minimized in the system tray you can hover over the OpenPandora icon and see the name of the song and artist. We can't tell you how many times before OpenPandora we had to keep maximizing our browser to see the name of a song. In addition there are a lot of other great features that you can check out when you download the software.

So if you listen to Pandora Radio on your Windows PC be sure to downlaod this simple but powerful piece of software.
