In Apple’s case, it actually built so much into iTunes that the company decided to finally break it up into parts with the next version of macOS. Still, Pandora’s rollout of native desktop apps helps the SiriusXM-owned company better compete with rivals like Apple Music and Spotify, both of which have long offered desktop applications. That said, Pandora’s Mac version didn’t have the best reviews from Apple users. And it supports the Pandora Modes feature, which lets you refine your personalized stations by asking Pandora to focus more on certain types of songs - like crowd favorites, the discovery of new artists, deep cuts, songs from a select artist only, new releases and more.ĭesktop users often prefer to use a native app instead of leaving a service open in a browser tab as it allows them a more seamless and integrated experience. Pandora Premium subscribers, meanwhile, get the same, plus the ability to make and share playlists, play albums and songs on-demand and take advantage of unlimited offline listening.Īlso like the Mac app, the Windows version supports keyboard controls for doing things like playing, pausing, replaying, shuffling, thumbs up and down, etc. The free users will have access to Pandora’s ad-supported stations, while Pandora Plus subscribers get ad-free stations, unlimited skips, personalized stations and up to four offline stations. Like its Mac counterpart, Pandora’s Windows app can be used by both free users and paid subscribers alike. Above: Pandora’s Windows 10 app - note references to playing podcasts!
