Hearing out of place tracks on Shuffle

I pick certain genres of country, Latin, and classic rock but when I hit shuffle it plays nothing but rap.

@Snowcone31 It looks like those tracks are playing because you included Top Radio in your Shuffle mix:

I recommend removing that station if you don't wish to hear any rap music during your listening session.

For future reference, when listening to Shuffle, you can view which station a particular song is from by scrolling to the bottom of the Now Playing screen. A banner will appear at the top of the window.

It should say "[Station_Name] Radio," and then the name of the track (see screenshots above for reference).

Hope this helps!

My Pandora is also playing deeply religious songs all of the sudden and they are wildly out of place. It only does it on shuffle so there is no way to identify the source, however, after checking all stations I doubt there is a source other than some Pandora glitch. Feels like some soul solicitor hack

Check out my post above for a picture of where that can be located.

I can also help look into this for you on my end.

The next time an out of place track plays when shuffling your stations, please grab a screenshot of it and send it in a reply to this message.

Thank you for your feedback but the banner you are referring to does not show up on my IPhone in shuffle mode and I don’t listen to it on the computer.

Unwanted Indian Music

A while ago my Shuffle station decided to play Indian music for me. I have no desire, nor interest in that kind of music. However, I cannot get rid of it now. It is extremely annoying if one plays Jazz, Classical, Alphaville, and ABBA stations to be suggested they like Indian as well. Please help.

Playing random India songs on shuffle

Hello I can’t figure out how to stop this. I hit the thumbs down button but they never go away. I am not subscribed to any station from India. How do I end this.?

Mine has been doing the exact same thing for months and I can’t find any of my stations that would play this kind of music. It only does it on shuffle and I always play music through my phone so it won’t show me what station the song is in.

Did anybody help you solve it?

Thanks

 Hi Adam,

This is an example of one of these religious songs that have been inserting themselves into my shuffle.

I have scanned my stations included in shuffle to try to find the one that may be responsible for this and I really don’t see any.

I have used Pandora for years and it is my go to for streaming music, I have always used the shuffle option and this just started happening all of a sudden a few months back

 

Thanks for any help that you can give me

@JP1123 It looks like those tracks are being pulled from the Various Artists Radio station you have in your collection:

If you look at the Thumbs Down on that station, you will also see the tracks you've been thumbing down on shuffle:

I recommend removing that station from your collection, and that should resolve the issue for you.

Hope this helps!

I have a random Indian songs play when I shuffle stations. I don’t have any Indian stations or songs saved or in my thumbs up collection.  This has been happening since 2018. Please help!
