Ideas: Ability to save different shuffle selections

It would be nice to be able to save different station shuffles.  For example, the stations I choose to shuffle at work are different than the stations I choose to shuffle at home, and it is a pain going in and unselecting 20 stations and selecting different ones each day.  Also, for holidays we shuffle through several stations with different genres at work, so a  Halloween shuffle, a Thanksgiving Shuffle, a Christmas shuffle, etc would be awesome to be able to have those set rather than having to reselect them each year.

 

Thanks!

This guy gets it.

It seems like Pandora has just let it go into EOL auto-pilot mode. I can't
recall any new features over the last 5 years! Also the UI on the web is
a mess!

So, Pandora, how about it?  We've been asking about this feature for over three years and nothing's changed.  As a software developer I have a sense of the LOE (level of effort) that might be required to implement this change and it doesn't seem that strenuous or complex - at least not any more complicated than implementing a single shuffle algorithm.  Any ETA on when we can expect this feature?  Or are you just leaving Pandora alone and ignoring your customers?  I can get that on Spotify, thank you.  I love Pandora and would hate to leave; but the first streaming service to give me multiple shuffles has my vote and my dollars.

 

I'll get off my soapbox now.  Thanks for listening.

Agree!

Long time Pandora subscriber here. I have not seen any features or
anything useful presented in some time. Maybe the business strategy is to
just let it ride into the sunset?

Shuffle Selector!
Visualizer!

The web app has one of the worst UIs ever!

Agreed 100%. I would use this daily as I switch from stations I shuffle while working, such as instrumental and classical, to the contemporary music stations I shuffle the rest of the time.

I agree, this feature is much needed.

This idea has obviously been around for a long time. I would like to see at least three shuffle options so that I don't have to keep going back in and unchecking and selecting different genres each time I want to use shuffle.

This thread looks like it hasn't moved in a while.  The ability to train specific stations and then shuffle specific stations together, to me, is the primary reason why i keep pandora rather than just using Spotify.  This feature would probably be worth an upgrade to premium, unlike the other "premium" features which just replicate stuff i can get from every other music service. </my $.02>
