Other Features
- Pandora Podcast (2007–2009), a musicology show that updated every few weeks in the form of a podcast. It was hosted by Kevin Seal of the band Griddle. Each show was based around a specific music topic, and featured guest musicians and Pandora experts who normally analyzed the music featured on the Pandora website.
- A Facebook application developed to allow users to put their Pandora radio stations on their Facebook profiles. However in 2012 with the release of Facebook's auto-publish tool Pandora decided to remove their application from Facebook.
- Pandora released a sidebar gadget for Windows Vista and Windows 7. This player retains the original skip limit, has no ads, and does not affect the hourly listening limit. However, many of the features (such as about the artist or adding to the station directly) are not included. Originally, an ad for Netflix was featured on the bottom of the player, but it has since been removed.
- Pandora can be played on home CE devices such as WD TV, Roku, Google TV, audio-video receivers, and Blu-ray players. Many HDTVs can also stream Pandora.
- Pandora can be played in vehicles, including but not limited to the BMW, Buick, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hyundai, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes Benz, MINI, Nissan, Scion, and Toyota. Some implementations have the ability to use voice commands to do things like change stations and give feedback on a song. Additionally, it is possible to purchase multimedia systems for your vehicle if it is not one of those that has been manufactured with the system already in the vehicle. These radio systems have the ability to use the Pandora app and have the same features as the systems in the vehicles that are manufactured with the systems included (excluding voice command). These radio systems are manufactured by companies such as Advent, Alpine, Clarion, Jensen, JVC Mobile Entertainment, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Sony.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“The features of our face are hardly more than gestures which force of habit made permanent. Nature, like the destruction of Pompeii, like the metamorphosis of a nymph into a tree, has arrested us in an accustomed movement.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
