Algorithm—Why not play the source artist or song?

Finders — Thu, 03 Apr 2025 10:46:19 GMT

In all the years I’ve played Pandora and created over two hundred stations, not once do I see Pandora algorithms select the very song that I selected to “create station,” no matter what I do to get that song to play.
Why do you suppose I’d create a station from a song?

I like the song that I used to create the station and want to hear it more often. I like the artist and want to hear the song that I was listening to when I create a station and want to hear it more often.

i don’t want to use another platform and create playlists because I’ve learned so much more from choosing Pandora the way it finds similar songs. I have encouraged many others to download and subscribe.

i shall continue using Pandora and sharing with other people, so you can make my experience even better by allowing the songs I pick to play more.

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, @Finders.

I recommend checking out this thread if you are not hearing the artist or song you've created a station with: Tips for better stations

Hope we continue to see you around the community!
