@gr01 Nice to see you around the Community. 😁

To clarify, do you need help editing your shuffle list so you can pick and choose which stations you want to include in Shuffle Mode?

If so, let me know the make and model of the device you are using to stream Pandora.

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

@Manorz47 The instructions for customizing your shuffle list will depend on what device you use to stream Pandora.

Let me know what device you are using, and I'll be happy to provide you with some steps on how to include collected stations to your shuffle list.

Useless information from all respondents!

@gr01 It doesn't look like you've followed up with any of the information I requested from you after you initially created this thread.

If you still need assistance with this, can you please clarify if you need help editing your shuffle list so you can pick and choose which stations you want to include in Shuffle Mode?

If so, let me know the make and model of the device you are using to stream Pandora.

@boykintiger To edit which stations are played during Shuffle:

Go to My Collection.
- Free and Pandora Plus listeners, swipe the Shuffle Stations icon bar at the top of your stations list from right to left. Then tap the Pencil that appears.

There, you can select or deselect which stations you'd like to appear in your Shuffle by Station or Genre. Tap Save on the top right corner of your screen when done.

Hope this helps!

Shuffling stations is not shuffling my collection. My collection is a mix of albums, songs, etc. Is there a way to shuffle my collection? I guess you could achieve the same effect by shuffling the songs in my collection?

Hi there, @Cruncher. 👋

Thanks for your post.

Shuffling your entire collection isn't a feature of Pandora. At this time, you can use shuffle individually within your collection. For example, you can shuffle all of your stations or create a custom shuffle for your stations. If you're listening to a playlist or album, you can shuffle within that specific playlist or album.

I'm having the same issue with my Pandora. I have alot of songs and artists in my collection but it seems like the same songs/artists play daily and some I haven't heard in over a year. I would like to shuffle my collection too.

@cjeds777 You should be able to shuffle your stations by following the instructions provided in my message above.

Hope this helps!

@Stephierae1981 You should be able to shuffle either your collected stations or songs.

Can you please do me a favor and send me a screenshot of what you're now seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this.

Log in to pandora, after it starts playing click on shuffle. When pencil/pen appear click on the icon. Wait for the page to turn to My Collection. Scroll down to selected item, check box to add shuffle or uncheck it. Good luck

Thank you for your help.

My Pandora collection "My Collection" is great and I like them all. When I go to Stations and hit Shuffle, not all of My Collection appears. Actually only 73% are able to be shuffled. I want 100%, but I cannot get them to be displayed in the Stations category. I never used Playlists, nor do I know anything about it. Is this the reason? I could not find any documentation regarding Playlists. My challenge is: How can I get Pandora to shuffle and play all of My Collection? I have a Pandora Premium Military subscription. Can you help me out? You may also call me at your convenience.

Thank you again,Paul

Hi @paule , thanks for explaining.

So, as mentioned on the accepted solution, after sorting your content you can select or deselect which stations you'd like to appear in your Shuffle. This way you can check if there's any station missing that you'd like to include on your shuffle.

Please note that, as a Premium subscriber, you can sort your content in multiple ways, but the shuffle option is only available on a couple of them:

All
Artist
Album
Songs - Shuffle available.
Stations - Shuffle available.
Playlist -Shuffle available inside each playlist.
Podcasts
Episodes

Also please note that you can only shuffle the same kind of content. Meaning that you cannot mix songs, playlists, and/or stations in the same shuffle.

That said, you can check more information about Playlists on Pandora here.

If you have any further questions about the Playlists or about shuffle please let me know.
