not sure why this is happening but the pandora app on my desktop keeps pausing. if i switch stations it plays again and after a couple of minutes it just pauses.
there are definitely no internet issues or firewall issues, i am the IT support at my office and this is happening on my work computer
i uninstalled the app, restarted, re-installed the app, restarted and it continues to pause
is anyone else having the same issue?
mod edit: changed title for clarity
I appreciate you trying to help, but as I suspected, waiting a couple of days has "resolved" the issue. I listened for many hours last night without a problem. Everything is now working fine!
Hopefully this was just a bug in the app and the Pandora team has seen enough issue that they fixed it, OR the gremlins decided to go bother someone else :p!
Cheers!
Hi there, @mikeb79. 👋
Thanks so much for reporting this. Have you tried resetting the Pandora app?
You can try resetting the Pandora app from the Help menu (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you).
Press Alt on your keyboard to bring up a menu options at the top of the page, then select Help and Reset App Data.
Let me know if this helps. 🎧
This is happening on my home pc. Get's about 3/4 way through the song and stops, though the player still looks like it's playing. Change station, starts playing again. Go back to previous station, picks up where it left off (at least on first attempt), but then stops within 10 or so seconds. Has been working great up until a few days ago.
I have done the reset app and clear cache and reset options. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app from the MS store.
Works fine on my phone.
I have been having this issue as well, it started on Saturday. It seems to only happen with auto-play. I can listen to a specific song or album but when auto-play kicks in it will play about half of a song and then just stops. I've tried resetting the app, I've uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing helps. Was there an update over the weekend? After I reinstalled the app, it looked different.
Hey, @r1armadillo @williate45 @mikeb79. 👋
Thanks so much for getting back to me with that information. Sorry to hear that uninstalling and reinstalling the app did not resolve the issue.
I'd like to report this issue to our engineers for further investigation. We've created an internal ticket to share more details about this issue with them. Could you help by providing a little more info?
Let me know. 🎧
Thank you for your help in this matter.
@williate45 Thanks for sharing that!
I've passed this information along to our engineering team on your behalf. 🎧

@r1armadillo Thanks so much for letting me know. Sounds like you're all set now.
Enjoy the tunes! 🎧
@awd Thanks for sharing your experience on the Community.
Windows Desktop App:
This thread is specific for issues with the Windows Desktop App.
To clarify, are you also running into this same issue when streaming Pandora on the Windows Desktop app?
Or are you only running into this issue when streaming Pandora through a web browser?
Let me know.

Music stopping on all web browsers:
In the meantime, it sounds like the issue may be related to the network you're using to connect to Pandora.
Please try connecting your device directly via an Ethernet cable and see if that helps.
If there is no change, try rebooting your connection:
If Pandora still isn't working, could you check if you're able to connect to your network using another streaming service, such as YouTube?
You might also try connecting your device to an entirely different network, or using a different device on your current network, to see if your streaming improves.
Let me know how it goes.
Did not work.
