June 19, 2026. i have been having issues since the middle of May, 2026. When I ask for a certain genre, it plays generic and modern music, not the music I want. Some stations play what I ask for, but when I try to play the Fifties Rock & Roll, it plays modern rap music or something like that. Is there an update going on right now? I cannot see very well, so I am describing what I am hearing on my nest smart speaker. Yesterday the website did the same thing. Could you find out what is going on now?
@ssischo1 Sorry for the trouble you are having with your station playing music outside of the intended genre.
I recommend reviewing your station. When stations are playing songs wildly out of place, or songs that aren't fitting within that station's sound, you should check your station definition and edit any Thumb ratings or seeds that may be adversely affecting the playlist.
For general tips and troubleshooting on creating better stations, check out this thread.
If your station is still playing tracks that are out of place after running through the troubleshooting steps linked above, we'd be happy to help look into it further.
The next time an out of place track plays on your station, please give the track a thumbs down and write us back with the following:
I appreciate you working with me on this.
