Microsoft has announced the availability of the Internet radio app, Pandora, on their Windows Phone platform, and the app will be available ad-free on Windows Phone until the 31st of December 2013.
I know you’ve been waiting for this, Windows Phone fans. The good news is that we’re rewarding your patience: The free Pandora app is not only ad-free through December 31, 2013 (a benefit that usually comes with the premium version of the service), but has features not found on any other smartphone. You heard me right: there’s no other Pandora app exactly like this one.
Exclusive Features for Windows Phone Users
The Pandora app for Windows Phone is not just a simple port of the app available on other platforms. Microsoft has worked closely with Pandora to ensure that the app takes full advantage of the unique features of the Windows Phone operating system. For instance, the app integrates seamlessly with the Live Tiles feature, allowing users to pin their favorite stations to the Start screen for quick and easy access. Additionally, the app supports voice commands, enabling users to control their music experience hands-free.
Another standout feature is the ability to create new stations based on a song or artist directly from the app. This feature is designed to enhance the user experience by making it easier to discover new music that matches their tastes. Moreover, the app includes a sleep timer and alarm clock function, allowing users to fall asleep and wake up to their favorite tunes.
Benefits of Ad-Free Listening
The ad-free experience offered to Windows Phone users until the end of 2013 is a significant benefit. Typically, ad-free listening is a premium feature that requires a subscription to Pandora Plus or Pandora Premium. This promotion allows users to enjoy uninterrupted music, which is particularly appealing for those who use the app during workouts, study sessions, or relaxation time.
Ad-free listening also means that users can enjoy higher-quality audio streams without the interruptions that can detract from the listening experience. This is especially beneficial for audiophiles who appreciate the finer details in their music. Furthermore, the absence of ads can lead to longer listening sessions, as users are less likely to be interrupted by commercial breaks.
