Getting around Pandora’s 40-hour monthly limit

In the past 6 months or so Pandora has implemented listening restrictions on their free service. It’s really quite simple to get around this limitation, you just need more than one Pandora account. You might be thinking, well what about my radio stations?? Pandora allows you to share your stations with your friends, just share your stations with yourself. If you don’t already have more than one email address, go out to gmail and register a second address, or even a 3rd or 4th. GMail let’s you forward all email to a single account, so as an example, I would just set up webguypandora1@gmail.com, webguypandora2@gmail.com, etc. and forward them each back to webguy@greatwebguy.com. Whenever you hit that 40 hour limit, just simply logout and log back in with a different account. You’re other option would be to just pay the $36/year subscription

Pandora’s system is just a bit more complex than making a new email address, actually. You’re utterly wrong.

Well I guess I’ll just keep listening to my utterly wrong music, if all else fails I can delete my cookies or switch browsers, but I’m sure you’re right…LOL

Had to laugh again this morning…I signed out of 1 account and into another without even deleting cookies…

It is 40 hours per computer, not account. If it was as simple as signing in with different accounts then Pandora nipped that one pretty quick.
The real work around is deleting cookies.

Now I’ve heard this twice, but haven’t run into this problem. I’m using Chrome and have never had to delete my cookies to continue using Pandora after my limit is up.
