Sunkast's pick: Elpis

Elpis is a free and open source Pandora client for Microsoft Windows. It was created to provide a simple, lightweight and seamless way to enjoy music through Pandora while freeing you from the confines of a web browser and integrating into the desktop. Elpis features all of the functions you would expect. View, sort, and select stations. Play, pause and skip. Rate songs thumbs up or down. Plus Elpis has media key support, and system tray notifications with song info. One of the best features is the automatic reconnect when a session times out. No more having to click the “Are you still listening” button.
