Artist: My content is not found in search

I pulled up the Pandora app on my TV, logged in and did a search to see how my music is presented. What I’ve found is that neither me, nor any of my work is found anywhere through any search?

WHY is that?

App's on smart TVs are different than on mobile devices and PCs different
app for different devices

Its because your distribution Company is not eligible to take Music to
Pandora

[anthonymdavis]

No. That’s not the case. DistroKid sends music to Pandora.

Hey @anthonymdavis - Sorry for any confusion.

@Jp78 is correct, different devices have different capabilities and not all Pandora apps support Pandora Premium on-demand listening.

Right now, your music is only available for on-demand listening. Some Smart TVs do not support on-demand plays which is why you would be unable to locate your music.

If your music is added to Pandora Radio, you should see it on your TV.

While your content may be delivered to us by your distributor, Pandora is still a curated collection. In other words, your partnership with your distributor does not guarantee inclusion on Pandora Radio.

I hope that helps to clear this up.

I am only able to be played on my phone and computer, but how do I get listed on the radio and TV?

Hello @OopsAnotherHit! I think the Accepted Solution about will help explain why you are only seeing your music on mobile and web ✌️

I am brand new to this, so please forgive me, but I do not know what you mean.
