I have the bd-p2500 Blue-Ray and was wondering how to get the Pandora music on it. Please help

I don't think you can...

That is a feature of the bd-2550. I am sure the hardware is identical between the two except for the firmware. But, I think that was a Best Buy version of the bd-p2500.

Hopefully one of the Techs can give us some good news as I would like it as well. But, I am not holding my breath as I am sure Samsung gave Best Buy an exclusive on this feature....

Not just firmware...

In order to stream Pandora, there was also additional hardware to be considered.

The BD-P2500 will not be upgradable to support Pandora. The BD-P2550 will be able to play Pandora. I can't really speak on the agreement, but it is an exclusive feature.

I hope that clarifies.

Do you know if any other streaming services will be added in the future?

The_Pickle,

I'm sorry, but I don't. Pandora was exclusive to one specific retailer. I don't know of any news at this point that would suggest future upgradability for streaming music through the BD-P2500.

I really wish I had a better answer for you, but I don't.
