Browse and save album to my collections

[Quirkels]

Hello,

When I first registered for Pandora, about 5 years ago, I would search a song and the album was added to my colletion.  Now when I search a song, I have to sign up for premium.  In addition, I have to hear a commerical before the song is played.  I paid for commercial free listening a long time ago.  What is going on?

Thank you.

@Quirkels Nice to see you around the community!

To clarify, the ability to add specific songs and albums to your collection is only an option with a Pandora Premium subscription.

Free and Pandora Plus listeners will need to watch a short advertisement before they are able to listen to songs, albums or playlists on-demand.

If you need help adding a station to your collection from your mobile device, you can refer to the steps listed out under the Start listening section of this article. 

Hope this helps!

Does this mean we can no longer manually add music to a station? I listened to the ad but I still don't see any button that lets me add a song or artist to an exist station that I have. That was a pretty critical feature. The ability to control what goes into my station was one of my favorite things about Pandora.

@lapsu That is not currently a feature of Pandora - if you would like to request the ability to move tracks between stations, you can create a suggestion for that here. 

Thanks for being a part of the community! 🎧

New to premium. How do I work with albums (save them)

[TannerPandora]

Hi @dfenn77 

Welcome to community!

You can save an album to your Pandora collection using either the Pandora app or the Pandora website.

On the Pandora mobile app (iPhone or Android):

1. Search for the artist or album you'd like to save.
2. Tap the album to open its page.
3. Tap Collect (or the + icon, depending on your app version).
4. The album will be added to My Collection.

On the Pandora website:

1. Sign in at pandora.com.
2. Search for the album you'd like to save.
3. Open the album's page.
4. Click Collect (or + Add to Collection).
5. The album will be added to My Collection.

To find your saved albums later:

• Open My Collection.
• Browse or filter to Albums (if available in your version of Pandora).

Hope this helps!
