I *thought* I'd mentioned that Pandora is currently only for listeners in the
USA. Something about liscencing agreements . . .
 
Though they hope to branch out in the future . . .
 
What are you listening to online?
 
Just curious.
 
I'm in the USA listening to Pandora most of the time . . .

Odd that nobody has mentioned that we cannot get Pandora in Canada either.
