GlobalPandora: Pandora for Non-US Residents
I found this good news from Hezron Mariano’s blog while blog hopping through Pinoy Entrecards.
Remember Pandora? A friend of mind recommended it to me and I got to listen to some songs before it was restricted to US residents only. Pandora radio is the personalized internet radio service that helps you find new music based on your old and current favorites under the Music Genome Project.
Well, here’s the good alternative to all non-US residents. The box is open! You can now listen to your favorite songs through GlobalPandora.
Note: After about 30 minutes of free music listening, you are still required to open your account and sadly it’s still exclusive for US residents.
But here’s what I did to make a free account:
1. I filled up the signup form.
2. Since I am not familiar with the US Zip codes, I referred to Switchboard.com for list of zip codes I could use. You can choose from the zip codes listed.
3. I submitted the form and voila! I now have a Pandora account. I could listen with all I want.
Enjoy listening. I am currently listening to Usher’s music station and I am loving it.

I’ve also found some good tips to grant access Pandora.com for all international or non-US users.
Frantic Industries.com teaches us “How to: access Pandora from outside the US” by using anonymous proxy server.
Ghacks.net explained how CGI proxies can be used to access Pandora.
