Pandora voice command issue

iPhone 16 Pro Max. When I try to use voice commands, it won’t work. Used Pandora for years. My first issue. And it was working fine this morning.

For example, if I say, “Hey Siri, play Allman Brothers on Pandora.”

I get, “I can’t find Allman Brothers in your Pandora Library.”

If I say, “Hey Siri, start Pandora.” It does automatically - to some classic vinyl station. No way to change it with voice commands. I can tap recent stations manually and it works fine. Voice commands do not work though, which is a pain with Apple CarPlay. All other voice commands work fine with Siri and Apple CarPlay, though.

I’ve tried saying it different ways: No variation of station, radio, or whatever works - neither specific bands or generic genres will work. For example, if I say, “Hey Siri tune to Jazz radio on Pandora,” I just get the “I couldn’t find that in your Pandora library.”

I’ve restarted the phone and deleted and re-downloaded the app. I thought it may be something malicious with Apple trying to make it difficult to use non Apple Music apps, but Spotify works fine.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
