Macos – How to control Pandora via the Mac Keyboard

automationkeyboardmacmacospandora

How can I use the Play / Pause, and Skip Buttons on my MacBook Pro to control Pandora? I've just got Pandora set up as a dashboard web clip and also have the Pandora Adobe AIR desktop app. I have Pandora One.

Can I do this perhaps via a third party app?

Update

Just for the record I'm very happy with the functionality mentioned in the answer below, and it works seamlessly enough for me.

Best Answer

I found an app called Hermes which plays Pandora on Mac OS X and has support for using the music controls and notifications on song changes. I think the sound quality might be slightly lower than in Chrome - might be an API limitation? But the features are great for free playback.

EDIT: You can change the quality in Preferences > Playback!
