As of Jan 2010, I was able to prevent / remove / hide / block ads advertisements by doing the following (when viewing Pandora.com from the browser on WinXP):

Edit HOSTS file at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add entries to bottom of the file:

127.0.0.1(press TAB key)2mdn.net
127.0.0.1(press TAB key)ad.doubleclick.net

Save the file and wait for Pandora.com to cycle the current ad.

You've never had that ad that pops up with them huge tata's on the screen (no offense ladies)... LMAO

If there were more "tatas" and the like, I wouldn't mind.

One that REALLY annoyed me, a free FTP app, had a little scrollbar at the bottom trying to convert me to the author's particular flavor of religion - a definite no-no in my book. That one lasted about a day or two, then adios, mofo.

$36/year for the Pandroa ONE package which removes ads. It also adds higher quality audio. Includes a desktop application.
Also allows you to exceed the 40 hr limit per month that free users are restricted to.

Don't want to pay the $36? Quit yer whining then. ;)
