Android: Error When Adding Variety or Starting New Station

[Lexi_Paradise]

Im trying to add Tom cardy or his songs to a personal playlist and keep getting a "technical difficulties" error. His artist icon and songs show up when searched and i am able to play songs with ads from him just fine but cant add to a station at all.

I have had a similar problem with being unable to create a station nor "add variety" to previously created stations from the artists "Andrey Vinogradov" and "Mcbaise"

Hi there, @ToasterForker. 👋

Thanks so much for posting on the Pandora Community!

I just checked and I'm able to click on the start station for both artists mentioned in your post.

Looks like the artist you mentioned, Andrey Vinogradov, is available to start a station. You can find that artist's profile here.

For the second artist, you can create a station as well here.

Just to confirm, you're unable to add songs as variety from both artists to existing stations, correct?

Let me know. 🎧

Can't add songs or create a station from any of the songs from the Hell on Wheels TV show OST (such as Hell on Wheels Main Title)

Hi there, @ShaeCD. 👋

Thanks for reporting this! I'm having some trouble locating the specific soundtrack for the TV show. 

Could you send over the link for the specific song / album? Is it this one?

Help!? Having the same issue and I keep getting dropped by support. I also can't seem to add the artists list to this post. 😞

Been trying to add some songs to variety with unexpected errors, so I decided I'd just make a new station from them. Only problem is when I try to it either gives me an error or says it's "unavailable for station listening." Yet I can just listen to the song on it's own just fine. What gives?

Hi there, @121681350. 👋

Thanks so much for reporting this.

Could you provide more details about what you're experiencing? I'd like to pass this information along to our curation team on your behalf.

What is the name of the song / artist?

Let me know. 🎧

[121681350]

The song was "Gunslinger" by Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, Rotem Maov & Pieter Schlosser. I either get "an unexpected error has occurred" or "this song isn't available for station listening", but I can play it on its own just fine. 

Also it's not just adding them as variety, I can't use the song to start its own station with.

Thanks so much for providing those details, @121681350. I've gone ahead and reported this over to our curation team on your behalf. We appreciate your patience while they work on this. 🎧

[121681350]

Is there any reason these songs (the whole album there is like that) can be played manually but not made into a station?

[AlyssaPandora]

Although the majority of the songs in our collection will be eligible to be played without restrictions, you may encounter a portion of songs or albums that are unavailable or labeled "Radio Only" due to our current licensing restrictions, @121681350. 

We are continuously working on increasing the amount of songs which can be played on stations, on-demand, or offline. In the meantime, I've passed your feedback along to the team that handles our music collection so they can look deeper into this. 

Feel free to share any other content that you come across where this issue pops up. We pass these over to curation on the behalf of the folks who report it. 

I hope this helps. 🎧
