Install Pandora Client Pithos in Ubuntu 16.04. Pithos is a native Pandora Radio client for Linux. It’s much more lightweight than the Pandora.com web client, and integrates with desktop features such as media keys, notifications, and the sound menu.
Pithos 1.2.0 is a major release involving a lot of cleanup and some UI redesigns. It now uses GSettings with Dbus-python dependencies removed and all new content filter option.

The Last.FM integration has also been improved.
