Do I have to pay for music?

Why do I half to pay for good music

I can swap over to you at any time. All I have to do is just listen to an ad instead of getting an ad to tell me I have to pay for skips. Sounds like you guys are really broke broker than a joke if I can’t skip to a song that I really really like or I can’t look up the song that I really really like. I gotta listen to all the trash that comes in between.

@No911911 Nice to see you around the community. 😁

It's not currently possible to listen to most content "on-demand" through ad-supported Pandora or Pandora Plus.

If you would like to listen to a song or album on-demand, we do offer a solution through Premium subscriptions and complimentary sessions of Premium. This service combines our industry leading radio service with on-demand listening.

You can learn more about upgrading from our website.

Alternatively, you can start a complimentary session simply by searching our library for a song or album, and clicking play. This will trigger a short advertisement, after which you can enjoy content on-demand.

Ad-supported Pandora and Pandora Plus are designed to introduce you to new music through the artists and songs that you already know and love. You can type in your favorite artist or song and music that is similar to your selection will play on your station.

While Pandora stations will learn what you like and don't like based on Thumbs feedback, it's not possible to predict exactly which song will play next. Only Pandora Premium offers users that level of control.

If you'd like some tips to get the most out of your Pandora stations check out the accepted solution to this thread: Tips for better stations

I hope this helps!
