Separate artists with same name

Greengecko — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 00:06:21 GMT

I'd like to suggest to Pandora to improve their algorithms for selecting music from different artists with the same name. In my case, I was searching for ambient electronic music by a group named "Arc", and the results included another group by the same name that produces foul, explicit trash -- not something I want to see when I'm browsing. Even when I click on the "Arc" group name under the correct albums, it still includes the undesirable results. So I can't make a station from the artist I want, because I know it will include the other. The system should differentiate between them.

@Greengecko Thanks so much for sharing your feedback.

Can you please send me a link to the artist Arc on Pandora that is getting mixed up with artists who have the same name?

Thanks for working with me on this.

Thanks for the follow-up. What I was looking for was this artist:

And the very undesirable result that was included was this:
