I cannot for the life of me figure out how to shuffle my collection/stations! The old pandora version had the "Shuffle: option, but not it does not, both desktop and mobile version!
I only have the option of selecting a certain station in my collection but not shuffling all the songs in all my collections! This is so annoying, please bring back the old version and allow shuffling.
mod edit: changing title for clarity

I'm also having this issue, I was using Pandora as a free user for many years and finally decided to upgrade to premium, but only then do I find that the shuffle option is now missing on both my lg g6 and my windows 10 pc using chrome as the browser. I had it on both before I upgraded and now I have it on neither. I really didn't think I would lose features upgrading to premium...

When I use a trial of premium to say play one song (by watching ad) I go back to my collection to go back to regular listening to my stations shuffled but with the premium ad trial the shuffle button is gone

@Username8592 When on a complimentary session of Pandora Premium, you should still be able to shuffle your collected stations.
To do so, navigate to My Collection, and sort the collection by Stations and select Shuffle Stations.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks so much. So helpful!
@dhawkins477 Always happy to help. 😎
It's not giving me an option to shuffle

If you continue to run into issues with this, please send me a screenshot of what you are seeing.
Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝
this has not solved my problem as there is absolutely no "shuffle" tab or button anywhere on my android or desktop. I checked the app store to make sure I had the up-to-date version, and I do. What do I try next?
@QueenofChaos Can you please send me a screenshot of what you are seeing where the Shuffle option should be?
Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝
From the search results, I see that "shuffle" problems are a consistent issue for this application. Why is shuffle hard to get right? I upgraded to "Premium" on the hopes that there'd be the ability to shuffle-in deep cuts from each/any station in my list as I was getting tired of hearing the same top-10 songs from each station with not-much-variety.
Most importantly: How do I get my shuffle ability back?
I am using Pandora on my pc (as a web-login, not the Win10 app), and on my Android. I see the same issue on both, and I see that both devices recognize the account status change (good).
Things I've tried:
1) Different browsers (Firefox, Edge, Chrome) running on Win10
2) Ensure that the Pandora-Windows-Application is not installed
3) Sign out, Clear all cache for Chrome, restart PC, login-again @ chrome. Same issue
I do see this in the Chrome Debugger Window:
The above error occurred in task initializeRecentlyPlayedOnPremiumWelcome

Ah, thanks! There it is: "Premium listeners can go to My Collection, and sort the collection by Stations and select Shuffle Stations."
Is there a way to make the shuffle include "deep cuts" ?
@mikemontana Always happy to help!
While there isn't currently a way to shuffle your stations while in Deep Cuts Mode, I recommend upvoting this existing feature request with a ❤️if you'd like to see that option added to the service: Modes in Shuffle customization
