Shuffle mode does not play variety

jc1356 — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:12:02 GMT

I have both stations from Pandora and stations I have created but my Shuffle mode is disappointingly boring. I expected representative songs from all the stations but only get a limited number of songs from a limited number of stations. I listed from both my phone and my computer with the same results. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you.

Hi, @jc1356. 👋

Thanks so much for taking the time to share what you're experiencing.

I completely understand how disappointing it can feel when Shuffle doesn’t seem to pull a good mix from all of your stations.

We have an informational thread in our community that explains why this can happen and how to improve the variety you hear when shuffling stations. If you take a look at the following post and scroll down to the section titled “Repetition when shuffling stations,” it should provide some helpful context and tips: Tips for better stations

Many listeners find the suggestions there helpful for getting a more balanced mix across their stations.

If you still have questions after checking that out, feel free to let us know—we’re happy to help!
