Ideas: Automatically swap out Unavailable Songs with available tracks

I have noticed lately many of the generated playlists by Pandora seem to contain unavailable tracks, is there a way to fix this? I notice Pandora is adding tracks that are unavailable but if I search for the track myself there will be an available version. It would be nice to see if Pandora could select the available version of the song instead of one that isn't. I know this is a common problem and mainly stems from licensing issues, this also happens on my own playlists with songs I may have liked, etc that "become" unavailable but then I do a quick search and there is an available version, I wish in the background Pandora was able to recognize and replace unavailable version with a corrected available version which would help keep the playlists intact.

Hi @Zeroskater12891 

Thanks for taking the time to share this really thoughtful feedback with playlist.

We know how important it is for playlists to play seamlessly, and your suggestion about automatically swapping in available versions of tracks makes a lot of sense, especially given how licensing can impact specific releases.
