How to Use Pandora on Winamp
Winamp is a music management suite that can be configured to play Pandora radio stations from within the Winamp interface. Pandora is an Internet-based music service that allows you to create customized "radio stations" according to your music preferences. Although no official Pandora plug-in exists for Winamp, you can adjust the software settings file in a text editor so that the Pandora Web-based player is an available option in your media library. Once configured, you can use Pandora by selecting that option from the available online services in your Winamp library.
