Why is there no ability to make or start a station with the group Blackbriar or one of their songs?
Looking forward to it, hopefully soon,
Thank you

Hi community friends 👋
If the option to create a station is greyed out when you attempt to create a station based on a song or artist, we're happy to report these to the team that takes care of our collection on your behalf. To ensure accurate reporting, it's helpful to know the following details:
We appreciate your help with this. 🎧
@oatraa I moved your post to the My Collection space to keep the Community organized.
Your feedback has now been escalated to our curation team so they can further investigate.
Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
I had a station for the band, Yours Truly. Recently, it was removed and the add station button is greyed out. When selecting, it shows This artist isn't currently available for station listening.
Is this a technical issue or a licensing issue?
It leads me to think that I cannot depend on the stations because their availability can change without notice. I've read similar posts, which remain unanswered.
What's up with this?

@jdatl The original thread you posted on was archived and linked to this new thread: Option to create a station is greyed out
Although your original post was no longer on this new thread, I can assure you that your feedback was already escalated to our curation team for further review.
Hope this helps explain.
i expect the artist or record label decided they did not want to be involved with 'stations' on pandora but are ok with their music being played
YOu can listen to an ad or if you have the 10/mo premium i guess it is just playable directly.
No doubt Pandora would prefer to have the artist as a pandora station artist.
This artist isn't currently available for station listening.
So I finally decided to sign up for premium and went to add a station for Ivan Torrent - Human Legacy. No luck. I cannot thumb it up to get your algos exercising that flavor of music either. After the song ends, I hear the sound of silence.
I sometimes write code to Ivan's riffs and have always relied upon YouTube to keep playing similar music. Why am I unable to do this on Pandora anymore? I've done it in the past when I was on the free plan. Did my upgrade to Premium break anything? I'd rather not have to go back to YouTube, but without this functionality I am currently having to.

I see the greyed out option to start a station for the songs "Made a Mess" by Tim Menzies and "None of This" by Sam Hoyle still hasn't been fixed. Please fix it. What's the point of having all this music on the site that we can't start a station with?
Hi, @LTSings. 👋
Thanks for sharing these two.
Although the majority of the songs in our collection will be eligible to be played without restrictions, you may encounter a portion of songs that are unavailable or labeled "Radio Only" due to our current licensing restrictions.
We share these with our curation team so they can investigate further. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline for these requests. However, we greatly appreciate you taking the time to let us know. If you notice any others, please share so that we can report them for you. Thanks for being a part of the Pandora Community! 👍
I just found another one. There is no option to start a station with the album "Brazilian Christian Music" by Marcos N. Lima. Please fix this if possible. Thanks.
Hi @LTSings! I've passed this along to our curation team for further review. Thanks for letting us know!
Hi, I can’t add Señor Kino to a playlist on my iPhone app, thanks

Please create a radio for Fulton Lee!
@Britedrkness Thank you for reporting this.
I found a few more greyed out artists. Could you please make these artists playable on Pandora Radio?

@tommywimmer Thank you for reporting these.
I'm trying to start a Chiemi Eri station, or at least a station from one of her songs, but the option is grayed out. Is it inaccessible for some reason, or is this a bug?
Thanks!
