If anyone from Pandora is reading this:

* Form a partnership with Uber -- allow me to see venues with events happening on my uber map and allow me to click one button to buy a ride to the venue and a ticket at the same time!

* For the love of god -- please update the Pandora Home Screen on the website app when listening to music so that the album art and the artist title are BIG and viewable from across the room! Look at how lame this layout is: http://i.imgur.com/QEciRIj.jpg

Look at how small the album art/artist is and ALL that wasted screen real estate.... I mean the album art is the smallest visual element in that entire UI!!!

My usability gripe:

If the album that Pandora has tagged a song as belonging to isn't available digitally on Amazon, but the same song is digitally available on another album, link to that. Don't imply that itunes is the only way to get it without ordering a CD.

I use a bookmarklet to put that stuff in the title (and click the are you still listening button) you could do the same to fix the layout how you like it.
link to said bookmarklet?
just something I wrote in a few minutes...

javascript:setInterval(function (){document.title = $('.songTitle').text() + ' -- ' + $('.artistSummary').first().text();if($('#still_listening_ignore').length == 1){var t = 1000 + (Math.random()*500); setTimeout(function(){if($('#still_listening_ignore').length == 1)$('#still_listening_ignore').click();},t)}},1000);

I don't think Uber does any integration like that. Creating a map inside Ticketfly would be easier and it could include an Uber ride at checkout.
check out rdio.com, they are crushing pandora in their app design imo
