Pandora was working fine, then for whatever reason when I hit "play" button nothing happens. What's wrong?
Thanx

@thisisme @katy Nice to see you around the community. ๐๐ฝ
@katy I moved your post over to this thread as it sounds like the play buttons aren't functioning for you when you attempt to listen.
Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening? Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?
- 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?
- Is there an 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'll look forward to hearing back!

Hi, I was able to fix the issue by defragging my PC. Not sure this will help you but you could dry and clean and defrag.THX

Hi there, @howardjmiller. ๐
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the play button.
Iโve enabled a trace on your Pandora account to help us better understand whatโs happening. For this trace to be useful, weโll need you to run through our troubleshooting steps for your Firefox browser.
You can also try using a different web browser to help determine whether this issue is browser-related.
Let me know if this helps! ๐ง

Hi. I have the Pandora app and recently I tried to play a song. The play button wouldn't do anything and the only way I could listen is if I played the station. It wouldn't let me collect songs either.

Hey @Armaan! Thanks for posting!
Can you tell me a little more about your device? Are you using a Windows or Mac computer? Are you using the desktop app or a web browser? If you're using a web browser, can you let me know which one?
Thanks!

@Adubose Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?
- To clarify, are you unable to get any music to play when streaming Pandora on your iPad?
- Is there an error message when you try and press the play button? If so, what does it say?
- Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?
Thanks for working with me on this. ๐ค

I have listened to Pandora on a web browser Chrome for months and months and never had issues. Now all of a sudden, my keyboard play/pause, skip and stop buttons won't work. I can mute it and volume up/down but can't play or pause.

Hi there, @dgramm. ๐
Thanks for posting about this.
Just to clarify, are you using built-in media keys or keyboard shortcuts when you listen to Pandora from your Chrome browser?
Let me know. ๐ง
