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. 

mod edit: changed title for clarity

Just seems weird that the song can be played on demand but not work on a station. I can get the opposite sure, but this seems just wacky.

I will pass this along to our curation team for you. 🎶

Same trouble...can't add new stations...leaving pandora...annoying

[AlyssaPandora]

Hi there, @Watazumimusashi. 👋

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with creating new stations.

Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening? Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device when you're attempting to add stations?

1. If you are on a computer, are you listening from:
   • A Mac or Windows computer?
   • Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?
2. If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
3. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?

Let me know and I can follow up with you. 🎧

 I can not add Thainferno to any of my stations. I can specifically play the music but that's is not the same.

[AdamPandora]

@Thedarkbanshee I was unable to locate an artist or song with the name Thainferno in our catalog.

However, I do see two artists who go by Thainferno305:

• Thainferno305
• Thainferno305

Is this the artist you are referring to?

Or is there a song named Thainferno that you are unable to add to your station? If so, who is that track by?

Let me know.

[Thedarkbanshee]

Yes thainferno305 is correct

Hi all, when I try to add variety to my artist station pandora pops a message saying "We're having unexpected technical difficulties". I have added other artists to this station before but seems to be hit and miss when i can do it. 

Any fixes for this?

[AdamPandora]

@Jford1991 I moved your post over to this existing thread: Android: Error When Adding Variety or Starting New Station

What is the name of the artist/song you are unable to add as variety to your station?

Let me know.

[goodsamarium]

I'm having the same issue with the artist Arrived, and his song Feeling Saxy.

The error says "We're having unexpected technical difficulties", and the only option is "OK". It would be nice if there was a "Report issue" option whenever these errors pop up.

[AlyssaPandora]

Hi there, @goodsamarium. 👋

Thanks for reporting, and for your feedback. 

Reporting bugs directly through the app isn't a feature at this time, but it's a great suggestion. Feel free to upvote this existing feature request made by another community member here: Ability to report Pandora catalog/bug issues

I just tried from my end to add this song to an existing station as variety. Could you share more about what you're experiencing?

Does this issue happen when you attempt to add any variety or specifically this song?

Or, does this happen if you try to start a station from the song?

Let me know. 🎧
