@chillwthme besides your playlist not playing, I hope all is well and good with you. Have you tried restarting your app? If you have, then close it back out, go into your settings and click on reset app, if you still have issues, then go back into your settings, and then click repair app. I have done these steps myself before. And yes, it has worked for me. I hope you have the same success as I have. Take care and stay safe.

P.S. Just so you know, you will not lose any of your playlist or stations by doing any of these steps. I have deleted my Pandora app, then did a re-install and still did not lose any of my playlists, or stations. Be safe.

@chillwthme I moved your post over to the Desktop space.

Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

Are you listening from:

A Mac or Windows computer?
Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?

Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

I have a Windows computer and I am using the desktop application. There is no error message just funny because it plays other playlists but does not play my playlist.

Hi there, @chillwthme. 👋

Thanks so much for getting back to us with that information. You mentioned that you're using the Pandora Desktop App for Windows 10. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve the issue.

First, try resetting the Pandora app from the Help menu (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you). Press Alt on your keyboard to bring up a menu options at the top of the page, then select Help and Reset App Data.

If you're still having issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling using the following steps:

Locate Pandora in your Start Menu, and right-click to reveal an additional menu. Select Uninstall from the dropdown menu. From there, select Pandora from the list and confirm by selecting Uninstall once more.
Next, find our app in the Windows Store on your device. Search for Pandora in the upper right corner and click or tap Get to re-install.

Please note that downloading any application on your devices requires a Microsoft account and password, and it may be a different email address and password than those on your Pandora account.

Also, we do not support Pandora on unofficial OS releases, like preview or developer builds. We only support Pandora on configurations that we have fully tested, so as to ensure the application will work correctly and not cause any problems with functions of the device.

I hope this helps. Let us know how it goes. 🎧
