Alyssa, I believe I found the solution.  I used CleanMyMac to  remove Chrome.  This program removes EVERYTHING.   I already had Chrome Sync turned on so all my settings were saved.  Next I reinstalled Chrome and restored my settings.  Pandora seems to be working great again. Thanks for your help Alyssa.

Hi @cowboyy221 

Can you do me a favor and check if this is happening in Firefox too. This helps determine if it's a browser-specific issue. 

You can download Firefox here.

Let me know how it goes.

cowboyy221 I was having an issue as well with buffering on my Chrome browser, I switched back to Microsoft Edge and Wala no issues mate. Also be sure your windows is up to date. I also had a prior issue because I was running an older windows program. Just a thought. Take care and be safe.

I would also like to add, since I switched back to Microsoft Edge browser, when I have my Pandora desktop app playing, when I click on community it connects to Pandora on the net. When it does my music no longer get's cut-out or skips. It will continue to play without pause. Because of that, I got rid of my Google Chrome. I myself liked Google Chrome as well. Just having too many issues with buffering, music skipping or just getting completely cut-off. Just thought other's who may be having the same kind of troubles will see what I had to do to fix my issue. Take care and stay safe all. 

P.S Also make sure your windows 10 is up to date. I had prior issues until I updated my windows. Now everything is running happy.

follow up on what is happening. I have tryed Microsoft edge its does the same thing it wont buffer for a couple days and then i can play the music again untill it say they ran out of music try switch stations and the it happens all over again. from what it looks like is there may be a limit to how much you can skip and put on the shelf or thumbs down. but thats just what i think.

@cowboyy221 What is the name of the station you're experiencing this error message with? (Error: No more songs, please try switching stations)

  • Where are you listening (home, work, or on the go)?
  • Is this happening on all your stations or just one?

Let me know.

@cowboyy221 I had User Support make a small change to your Pandora account that may be causing this issue. 

Could you try listening again, and let me know if the issue persists?

Thanks so much for your patience during this process! 🎧

@cowboyy221 Could you clarify? Is the Pandora website locking up for you? Or the community? You should be able to access the Pandora Community using this link: https://community.pandora.com/

Let me know.
