How to Run Pandora on Android

Pandora is an online streaming music service built by the Music Genome Project. The service has an Android application available, so users of the smartphone platform can take their customized Pandora stations with them wherever they have a data connection. If you're an Android user, you can use the Pandora app by following a few steps.

Instructions

1. Start the Pandora app on your Android smartphone.

2. Tap on a station to begin playing that station through your phone's speaker or through your headphones. You can set up new stations to reflect your musical preferences.

3. Tap the "Thumbs down" button if you don't like a song, or tap "Thumbs up" if you do like it.

4. Pause a song by tapping the "Pause" button, or skip a song by tapping the "Skip" button.

5. Press the "Menu" button on your Android phone to access more features. From the slide-up menu, you can bookmark a song, buy a song, share a song with a friend via email or quit the application.

6. Press the "Home" button to go back to the Home screen. The Pandora player is capable of running in the background, so you can listen to music while you use other apps. To get back to Pandora, you can open the Pandora app as you would normally, or you can slide down your notifications tray and tap on the Pandora section.
