The Pandora radio app for a Blackberry (Curve, Storm, Bold, Pearl), IPhone, PDA (Palm Pre), or other smartphone or window mobile cell phone is a great choice for music and radio. This free app let's you build your own stations so you listen to only the music that you choose. In just a few minutes you can have this free app on your phone, just follow the steps below!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Data capable cell phone (Blackberry, IPhone, PDA..)
  • Data plan on your cell phone (unlimited recommended to avoid usage fees)
  1. Step 1

    From your app store on the IPhone, your app world on your Blackberry, or your app catalog on your Palm Pre, search for Pandora radio under the music category. You can also go to pandora.com from your phone's web browser. Download the Pandora radio app and you'll be ready to start customizing your stations.

  2. Step 2

    Click on your newly installed Pandora Icon from your menu. Register for a free account with Pandora radio, sign in, and let the fun begin!

  3. Step 3

    Click on the "Stations" button on the bottom left of your cell phone screen. Next, select "Create a New Station."

  4. Step 4

    Follow the on screen directions by entering the name of an artist, song, or composer. Pandora will then show you a list of artists and/or songs with that name in it. If you just want a station that features the artist you entered, simply click on their name. Pandora will then say "Creating Station" and shortly after "Playing Station." Your cell phone will now begin playing free music that features the artist that you built your station around. Not every song will be by the artist, most likely every three or four. However, Pandora radio is able to select very similar music styles to incorporate into the music station you created.

  5. Step 5

    For any song or artist that you like or even dislike, select the thumbs up or down icon. For example, if you love the song playing, select the thumbs up icon and this song will play more often on that station. You can also bookmark any song by pushing in the menu button while a song is playing and selecting "Bookmark Song" or "Bookmark Artist."
