Pandora
If you’re a Pandora customer, you’ve got everything you need to start enjoying Pandora on your Sonos system. Sonos can
connect directly to Pandora, the music discovery service, so you can listen to Pandora radio stations, create new stations, and
rate music using your Sonos system.
Pandora offers two types of subscription accounts - a free ad-based account, and a paid subscription account. If you are a
free subscriber, Pandora will
serve you ads
when playing Pandora on your Sonos system. If you are a paid subscriber, Pandora
will serve you
ad-free
radio streaming.
