Windows Desktop App: Unable to download without MSN account

[borisattva]

what happened to it? now i am taken to windows store that requires me to have a windows log in to download the app. i dont have an msn login and i will not get one. i pay for a monthly subscription for pandora and if i cant have a stand alone desktop app like i used to for the past decade+ then i will cancel the said subscription. why do you guys hate making money?

Hi @borisattva , thanks for your feedback.

Downloading any app (including Pandora) from the Windows Store will require that you have a Microsoft account and password. The email address and password for your Microsoft account may be different than those on your Pandora account.

Note: At minimum, you'll need Windows 10 to use this app, but we recommend updating your system to the latest Windows version available to you. You can find more information on how to do this here.

I hope this helps explain.
