Pandora App Needs an Amazon Buy-now Button (Google TV)

Pictured here is the Pandora app on Google TV (Sony Blu-ray Internet TV Box model NSZ-GT1).  Click to see larger version.  I use the Pandora app about 80% of the time that my Goog TV is  on, usually about 4 hours per session.  I love all aspects of the app (navigation, ease of use, reliability, sound quality, etc.), except one major missing piece: I want a Buy-Now button for Amazon MP3s.  I get so tired of bookmarking songs and artisits, then having to go to Amazon, search for it, then buy it.  When I hear a song I love, I want it at that time in my music library.  Pandora would get a cut of all the sale.  Like a musical crack addiction.  A total no-brainer!  But, in any case, Pandora, thanks for deploying a kick-ass app so early on in Google TV.  As I've said in the past, I subscribe to Pandora One.  I deem it as one of the best ways I spend money (at only $36/year).
