Hi there, @FYI. 👋

Thanks for sharing your experience with Pandora playing on your HomePod device.

Does this issue occur after hearing an advertisement?

First let's make sure your software meets the minimum requirements:

Please try the following steps:

Check to see if there are any updates available for your HomePod and Pandora apps. Update both as necessary.
Restart your HomePod device.
Try unlinking and relinking your Pandora account.
1. To unlink, open the Home app on your iOS device:
  - Tap the home icon at the top left of the screen
  - Tap Home Settings
  - Tap your iCloud avatar to view personal settings
  - Select Pandora and then Remove Pandora from Home
2. To re-link, open the Pandora app on your iOS device:
  - Open the Pandora app on your iOS device.
  - Go to Profile and tap Settings.
  - Next select Connect with HomePod.
  - Then tap Use in Home.

Let me know how it goes. 🎧

Are you connected via AirPlay on your HomePod when listening to Pandora? In addition, does Pandora stop playing after hearing an advertisement?

If so, we have a related topic/issue under iOS: Music Stops After Ad Plays using AirPlay, and I'm just wondering if this is happening to you as well. 🤔
