Pandora has released official gadget, and this one is now obsolete.

Pandora released their own gadget several months after I released mine. Since that time, they have made significant changes to their Flash-based interface that have caused this gadgets to no longer function properly. I recommend using their gadget instead.

This page now exists for mostly historical purposes.

Pandora Sidebar Gadget

This Pandora sidebar gadget lets you play Pandora internet radio directly from Windows Vista's sidebar. When docked in the sidebar, it displays the currently playing song, along with the thumbs up/down options. When undocked, it displays the entire Pandora interface so you can log in, edit your stations, or create new ones.

64-bit Vista workaround: Without a bit of tweaking, this gadget will not run on 64-bit Vista. This is because Adobe has refused to provide a 64-bit Flash player plugin. Check here for a workaround.
