How to Set Up a Free Pandora Account

Pandora is a personalized music streaming service that offers a free account to be used on any desktop or mobile device. The free version includes ads, but you can create custom radio stations and discover new music and artists. Here’s how to set up your free Pandora Radio account on your computer’s web browser. Now it’s time to pick an artist or song to set up your first Pandora station. By default, your Pandora Profile is set to Public, but you can choose to set it to Private. You can make this change at any time through your account Settings, found under your profile badge in the top-right corner of the screen. Pandora offers free trials for its two paid options: Pandora Premium and Pandora Plus, both of which remove ads from the listening experience. The Premium package allows you to download music for offline listening.
