I've just worked around this for a while, but it's plenty annoying. If I pause my music, lock the computer, and am gone long enough for the screen to shut off (maybe?), the play button no longer responds and I have to refresh the browser to play music again.
I'm not 100% certain what might trigger this issue, as perhaps it's something to do with a CPU state, but regardless, it's very consistent and repeatable.
Windows 10 1809 LTSC & Chrome (various versions over past ... six months)
I have the same problem.
@frag_68 sorry to hear that.
Could you tell me a bit more about what you're experiencing?
What browser are you using?
Have you tried a different browser? Or is it happening on all browsers?
Is there any error message? If so, what does it say?
Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing? (If you're not sure how to take a screenshot, just let me know and I'll be happy to provide you with some additional steps.)
I look forward to hearing back.

I have to correct myself: I switched to Edge for Pandora a while back, not Chrome. I'll test with Chrome today, but Edge is currently Version 128.0.2739.79 (Official build) (64-bit). So for that, the issue has been relevant for at LEAST six months conservatively and I auto-update.
There's no error message, just looks exactly like you press paused. It's just the play button does nothing. I could take a screenshot, but if you play anything and hit pause: That's the screen. I can dive into DevTools and see if there's an error popping up in console next time.
@frag_68 A lot of times quitting your browser completely, re-opening it and going back to pandora.com can help.
To check if this is a browser-related issue, you could try to open Pandora in a separate browser, such Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
If you prefer to use Edge and re-opening your browser hasn't helped, try these steps:
Once you've completed this, restart your computer and then try loading pandora.com again.
Let me know how it goes.

Ok I will try that. And I will tell you how it goes.
