Here's a Pandora player I've been working on. It does not use a custom GUI like the official Pandora plugin. It uses XBMC native playlist and keeps a running list of songs played. It can optionally skip advertisements and save tracks to the Music Library with MusicBrainz tagging. You can also rate songs Thumbs Up/Down by adjusting the number of stars in the Song Info screen. (see below for details)

After installing, fill out Pandora username and password. It will show your list of stations. Play one and you'll be brought to the playlist which updates as new songs queue. If enabled, tracks will be saved, tagged, and can be added to the XBMC Music Library. Let me know how it works for you and any problems you encounter.
