The Whole Being Dead Thing station does not play song it was created with

[yoho]

I find this really frustrating, so the example I have is I have a musical theater playlist. The first seed to that station was "The Whole Being Dead Thing" from Beetlejuice. The stupid station plays every single other track in that album, but never, not ever that seed. The only track that is skipped.

@yoho Nice to see you around the community.

Not hearing the song you created your station with:

I understand that it's frustrating not to hear the song that you've seeded a station with, but there's no way to control when or how often particular songs will play on free Pandora or Pandora Plus, so it's not possible to create a station and hear that track play right away (though it could happen by chance). Because of our licenses, we have to limit the predictability of a certain song or artist from playing on those services.

That said, for complete control of what you hear on Pandora, try Pandora Premium. It combines our industry leading internet radio service with on-demand listening and easy playlist generation.

Alternatively, you can start a complimentary session simply by searching our library for a song or album, and clicking play. This will trigger a short advertisement, after which you can enjoy content on-demand.

The Whole "Being Dead" Thing Radio:

I took a look at your station, and it looks like the seed for this track was removed:

It's possible you may have removed it by mistake without realizing it.

I've gone ahead and created a new station for you using the same song:

It may help to start fresh using this new station that I added to your collection.

if you'd prefer to listen to your original station, feel free to delete the new one, and then re-add the track as variety to your original station.

I hope this helps!
