No, Pandora hasn’t created a Windows Phone 7 app – at least not yet. And yes, every night I pray with the rest of you, hoping that they change their mind – but until then, we *finally* have a solution to Pandora on WP7!!

Avid listeners probably already know that Pandora has recently updated their website to support HTML5. This brilliant decision to transform their site to use the newest media standards has really helped out WP7 users who are just starting to explore the power of the all new Internet Explorer 9 in Mango. Since the new IE9 browser supports playing media directly from web sites, playing music directly from the Pandora website works as well!

Simply open up Internet Explorer and head to: http://pandora.com. Type in an artist, and let the music play!

If you tap the volume button on your phone, there’s an option to play/pause the current song – but unfortunately skipping tracks must be done using the buttons on the website itself.

I totally didn’t know about it until a friend tipped me off – so I might as well spread the word. Pandora. Boo yeah.
