PandoCast is a Windows tray app that allows casting Pandora radio stations to Chromecast devices, solving a specific annoyance with audio dropouts in Pandora's web player. It combines Pandora API authentication, station retrieval, local stream proxying, and Chromecast control into a single desktop application. While niche and Windows-only, it demonstrates practical reverse engineering and integration of multiple services.
