A new application was made available for download for Windows Phone 8 devices today, namely Pandora, now up for grabs for free and with no ads included.

What Windows Phone 8 users should know about the new application is that it comes with no monthly streaming limit, a feature that is exclusive to their platform throughout 2013.

For those out of the loop, we should note that Pandora was made available as a free, personalized radio aimed at providing users with access to music they love while on the go.

“Just start with the name of one of your favorite artists, songs, comedians, or composers, and Pandora will create a custom station that plays similar tracks,” the app’s description reads.

Offering support for the features and capabilities of Microsoft’s latest mobile OS flavor, the app enables users to easily pin favorite stations to the phone's home screen, so that they will be able to see what’ playing at a glance on the Pandora Live Tile.

Pandora provides users with the possibility to create up to 100 stations, so that they will be able to easily switch between favorites.

There are hundreds of music and comedy genre stations already available through the service, ranging from Dubstep to Smooth Jazz to Power Workout.

On Windows Phone, the application comes with a series of exclusive features that include:

- Enjoy ad-free streaming music for free through 2013, with no monthly streaming limit - Pin your favorite stations to the Start screen for one-touch access - See what song is currently playing on your Live Tile - Launch Pandora in Kid’s Corner and explicit content is instantly filtered - Access a recent stations page and easily see your current favorites

It also sports features that are available for other users as well, such as easy management options, for users to create, delete, and add variety to their stations, customizable shuffle settings, and the possibility to head over the Store to buy songs and albums.

Pandora for Windows Phone 8 is available for download as version 1.0 at the moment, and can be found on this page on Softpedia.
