Ideas: Pandora Modes on more devices

Ideas: Pandora Modes on more devices

Status: Open Ideas

In my Pandora account, I changed most of the radio artists to 'Deep Cuts' mode- if I stream directly from the Pandora app (either on phone or computer), the songs that play reflect this change. However, if I stream through the Apple TV app or the Denon/HEOS, the songs that play do NOT reflect this change (they seem to play the normal Pandora playlist for each artist). I've tried logging out on both the AppleTV and HEOS Pandora apps, and no change. Any suggestions on how to get the 'Deep Cuts' mode to play on all devices I stream through? Thank you!

Pandora does not care, nor do they respond to listener's ideas or requests.
They just collect our money.

I was seriously thinking of subscribing, but then I discovered that I cannot get to Deep Cuts on my Roku!  Hey now, I'm not always in my car and I don't live with my phone attached to my head - I'm more old school.

For heaven's sake, users have been requesting this basic option for years.  If you're not going to bother supporting us users, I see no reason to support Pandora.

It's a simple fix, so please fix it!  Without Deep Cuts, I can get the same songs on any music streaming service, and many offer Deep Cuts.

Give me a reason to stay with Pandora and I may do just that; after all, I do prefer Pandora.

2024.... and still can't use modes on ROKU or other apps.

I'm going to look for a different music service starting today, totally ridiculous.

Honestly, moderators, No Modes Yet on Roku devices?! LOVE PANDORA & have been with y'all for Years!! Recently received a 2023 Roku box with voice capability for a gift and today realized that I CANNOT USE DEEP CUTS ON MY STATIONS. 

If you can't tell, I'm SEVERELY OFFENDED. I have been a Premium Member for more than 5 years. I've paid for the fix ALL ON MY OWN. For Everyone! 

PLEASE, LET US KNOW SOMETHING. ANYTHING. 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

You may want to investigate the Amazon streaming sticks.   We've found that one of them is MUCH better if you travel, and seems to have the kind of flexibility that the Roku lacks.    The Amazon stick was on sale on the prime days for under $20, so we have pretty much left the Roku world for the Amazon stick world.   Slightly different interface, but still has all the features that Roku has with a hugely better capability for folks that use their devices traveling.  Still have our Roku on our home (family room) setup, as it has a better iphone app, but the Pandora capability is much less satisfying than the Amazon one.   If it were'nt for the iphone app we would have eliminated all our Roku connections at this point.

I'm afraid I'm stuck with Roku as I use my Roku Delux for audio decoding (split before it goes to my TV).  As audio HDMI pass-through is not standard (yet), most systems don't enjoy full and true surround sound (no folks, I'm not going to debate this issue).  Even the same brand devices doesn't guarantee compatibility.

Also, I am as anti-ads as a person can get.  Roku, with it's drawbacks, is low on ads (the OS itself, nothing to do with streaming channels).

One last point is Pandora used to offer a "deep cut" type setting on Roku when Pandora first came out, before its UI overhaul.

The problem here is not Roku, but Pandora.  Incidentally, this setup is in my living room, the only TV in my house (but certainly not the only sound system).

When my Roku gives out, I will research other solutions and I will certainly look into Amazon, though I find them a bit too ad oriented for my taste.

I don't thing switching streaming devices is the answer, at least in many cases.

Please add Pandora modes to the Roku app!
