Music is repetitive with multi-station shuffle

[LlewellynKriel]

Despite giving Pandora a massive 90+ artistes variety and multi-station shuffle from which to select, I am subjected to the same two or three musos playing the same handful of numbers again and again and again for months on end. This does not happen with Spotify so why does Pandora blot its copy book so badly?

@LlewellynKriel Nice to see you around the community and thanks so much for taking the time to share this. I can definitely understand how frustrating it is to have a large collection and still feel like the same tracks keep popping up when you’re shuffling. That can really take the joy out of listening.

This being said, there are actually a few things you can try that often help improve variety when shuffling stations. I’d recommend checking out the accepted solution to this thread, focusing on the section titled Repetition when shuffling stations. It walks through some helpful tips that can make a noticeable difference in how shuffle behaves.

We truly appreciate you speaking up about this — feedback like yours helps us better understand where the listening experience can feel repetitive and where improvements matter most.
