Ideas: Disable automatic "Collection" of stations feature

Ideas: Disable automatic "Collection" of stations feature

Hi all,

Basically the title of the post. I dislike how every station I ever play automatically goes into "My Collection." Lots of stuff gets listened to only once or rarely and never again. My "Collection" looks like a junk drawer of things that I happened to touch one time, some by mistake or simply curiosity. It's such a vast list it's utterly useless. Actually, worse than useless because things I do want to find are buried under all the spare USB cables, paper clips, and broken pencils in said junk drawer. Stations I took the time to create get crowded by stations that I was just in the mood for one day and don't need quick access to.

I'm looking for a way I can default to stations NOT being "collected" by default upon playing, but I can choose to collect what I want. I feel like stations need to be deliberately added to collections to be a useful feature. I know I can manually remove stations from the Collected list, but I would really rather just have the option to turn-off "auto-collecting of every played station ever." Am I missing something?

I hope someone posts a fix because I'm with you, I hate the auto collection feature. Nice junk drawer analogy BTW. I asked Gemini and it said it could not be turned off, but I hope that's not the case.

Glad I'm not the only one. It seems like such a simple fix that would be desirable to most people. Heck, just a toggle under the Options, something like "Auto-Collect  On/Off" would be perfect

Hi @bretttayl 

Welcome to the Pandora Community!

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. At this time, there isn't a setting that allows you to disable the automatic addition of stations to My Collection, so you're not overlooking a setting.

Because your post isn't currently a feature, I've moved your post to our Ideas Board, where feature requests like this can be discussed and supported by other members of the community. 

We appreciate you sharing your experience, and thanks for being a part of the Pandora Community!
