Dig [Pandora](http://pandora.com/?ref=chrismessina.me) but bummed that you have to keep your browser open to enjoy it? Well, no more! With [PandoraMan](http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21464?ref=chrismessina.me) you can now stream your favorite stations outside of your browser. Similar to [Pyro](http://www.karppinen.fi/pyro/?ref=chrismessina.me), we're not starting to see the benefits of the opening of [Webkit](http://webkit.opendarwin.org/?ref=chrismessina.me).

Or you could use [Songbird](http://songbirdnest.com/?ref=chrismessina.me "Songbirdnest.com | Songbird Media Player"), which works as a normal music player as well as a player that streams music from any website. It's based on Firefox and let's you browse any website to find music to stream. Only problem is that it's only for Windows, but the next version will support Mac OS and Linux.
