Beluga Player For Mac

Pandora is a music streaming service that acts just like an internet radio and offers you the possibility to listen to your favorite artists. The service can be accessed via any web browser, but that might lead to unnecessary clutter.

Beluga Player is a Java based player that can connect to your Pandora account and allow you to listen to the song recommendations, control the playback, scrobble to Last.fm, and so on.

Worth mentioning is that the Pandora service is currently available only in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. However, if you are in any of those locations you can register for an account free of charge.

Right off the bat, Beluga Player will prompt you for the account credentials to be able to connect to the service. Once you get in, you get to select the station you want to listen to, control the playback for the current track, see the associated artwork and metadata information, and so on.

The music streaming service offers various recommendations and you can either like, ban, or put the track to sleep as far as your station is concerned. You get to bookmark the track or the artist, and include them in your QuickMix.

What’s more, you get to create a new station based on a particular artist, so you can listen to similar music without taking the time to create a playlist.

Besides helping you deal with all that, the Beluga Player app can also connect to your Last.fm account and enable the scrobbling service, so all your friends will know what you are listening to.

Beluga Player offers your the possibility to interact with your Pandora account and manage your stations outside the browser, without having to deal with the full featured web app.

On the other hand, Beluga Player is also able to detect and mute ads, can send notifications, orders the stations by different criteria, and so on.
