When I launch pandora.app, or open pandora.com in my web browser, my selected playlist/station begins playing automatically. This is often embarrassing and/or disturbing, as it is often inappropriate for me to play music out loud in those situations. I don't want the music to start until I click the play button. (that is, after I have put in my ear buds, and switched audio from speakers to ear buds). Also, sometimes I just want to search for a playlist or station, without listening to anything.
Please add an option in the web app and the desktop app that allows me to set the option to NOT auto-start playing music. Thank you.
mod edit: changed title for clarity

Hi, @scottzc. ๐
Thanks for your feedback around this. I completely understand where you're coming from.
At this time, disabling playback upon launching Pandora on your web browser isn't a feature. However, if you download the Pandora Desktop App, the music doesn't start playing unless you click on the play button.
If you'd like to see other options available, feel free to create a feature suggestion in this space: Ideas
For more details about how ideas work, please visit our Ideas Policy & FAQs.
I hope this information is helpful. ๐ง

Sometimes I just want to search for a playlist or station, without listening to anything and most times I do not want to hear what I was last playing.
Please add an option in the web app that allows me to set the option to NOT auto-start playing music. Thank you.

Hi @lukuskywalker , thanks for posting!
To keep thigs tidy I moved your post here: Web + Desktop App: Option to disable auto-start at launch
Unfortunately, for web browser this is not currently a feature, but you may want to check the accepted solution for a work around.
Also, you may be interested on proposing a new idea to our Ideas Board. To do this, please go to the Ideas Board, then scroll down a bit so you can find the button, so you can add your idea.
Please note that the post where you and @scottzc previously shared your requests is an already closed post for the Pandora App.
