Shuffle Stations Only Shuffling Through a Few of the Available Stations

siratlass — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 20:07:29 GMT

When listening to the "Shuffle Stations" option, I've noticed it is only choosing the same 4-5 stations of the available 21 stations to choose from. It does this every single time no matter what device I'm listening to (I primarily use Android Auto but this happens on the Web player too).

For example, I have 6 country stations. That's almost 1/3 of my collection but in 3 weeks it has never once played a country song.

I found an old post describing this exact issue, but it was marked as "fixed".

Hi @siratlass

Welcome to community.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with shuffle. I took a closer look at your Pandora account. I see that you have 23 active stations, and out of those stations, 8 are selected for shuffle.

The stations that are in your current custom shuffle mix are:

90s Pop Radio
2000s Pop Radio
Alter Bridge Radio
Best Of The 80s Reloaded Radio
Michael Jackson Radio
Phil Collins Radio
Red Hot Chili Peppers Radio
Third Eye Blind Radio

You can further customize your shuffle experience by adding or removing stations or shuffle all stations.

Stations with a blue shuffle icon will be included in the Shuffle rotation. Clicking on that icon will remove that station from your shuffle rotation.

You can customize the station included in your shuffle selection by:

Hovering over the Shuffle On icon which will appear on the Now Playing screen which will reveal a pencil icon.
Clicking the pencil icon will bring you to the My Collection page.
Check or uncheck each station to modify your shuffle experience, either in the bottom right corner of each stations' album art, or (if you're using A-Z sorting) to the right of the station name.

Hope this helps!

I had no idea.

I apologize for my ignorance on the subject, but thank you for the instructions.
