Select the hamburger menu in the upper-right corner, select Pandora from the list, and select Link your account. From there, either create a Pandora account if you don’t have one or select I have a Pandora account and log in with your email and password. After that, your Pandora will be associated with the Echo app, and your list of stations will appear. Just select whatever you want to play to the Echo. From the app, you can control playback, volume, check out album art, switch between stations, and create new ones.

I think I was being funny when I set it up with a fictitious name, but Echo did not approve. Works fine now. I’m still wondering why they include an extra step involving a nonexistent button. Nerd humour? Anyway, thanks for this page. It helped a lot. I’ve deregistered, reregistered, linked and unlinked. Googled and googled. Help! Comment Name * Email *
