I have disliked every old song it’s played and yet it continues to play old Christmas songs. I can’t get anything to play that I like. I don’t see why I would continue paying for the services.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><I>Moderator Edit: Edited title for clarity</I></P> Thu, 24 Dec 2020 13:20:34 GMT https://community.pandora.com/t5/My-Collection/Not-hearing-the-track-my-station-was-created-for/m-p/47212#M9272 Hmckenzie835 2020-12-24T13:20:34Z https://community.pandora.com/t5/My-Collection/Not-hearing-the-track-my-station-was-created-for/m-p/47214#M9273 <P><a href="https://community.pandora.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/391868">@Hmckenzie835</a>&nbsp;Nice to see you around the Community. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":waving_hand:">👋🏽</span></P> <P data-aura-rendered-by="43690:0">I understand that it's frustrating not to hear the song that you've seeded a station with, but there's no way to control when or how often particular songs will play on free Pandora or Pandora Plus, so it's not possible to create a station and hear that track play right away (though it could happen by chance).
