This song can't be skipped

[Demnos7]

Why the sudden flood of songs that can't be skipped? I've been a premium user for about a decade and haven't run across this before.

Now I'm getting songs across all stations that are unskippable and am forced to either endure several minutes of annoying music or pull out my phone and manually switch to another station which will inevitably quickly put me in the same situation.

Hi @Demnos7 

Welcome to community!

I took a closer look at your stations and I'm not seeing anything unusual on my end. I've gone ahead and enabled a trace on your account to help me look into this further.

The next time this happens, let me know the station you were listening to, the date and time and which device you were using.

If you're able to share a screenshot/picture of the message you received, that would be great. You can attach a screenshot directly here on community.

Note: This is best done on a web or mobile browser, you won't be able to include a screenshot/picture through the email notification you may receive.

Thanks for the help!

@icecreammafia Thanks for sending that screenshot over.

There is no hourly or daily skip limit for Pandora Plus and Pandora Premium stations and in that sense you will receive unlimited skips.

Although the majority of the songs in our collection will be eligible to be skipped without limits, you may encounter a portion of songs that are not eligible to be skipped due to our current licensing agreements. Since we're bound by our existing license to stream many of our tracks in a radio format, this option may not be available for some tracks.

We know it can be frustrating to have to listen to a song you'd rather skip. When this happens, we suggest scrolling through your recently played tracks and selecting a song to replay. Or switch things up by tuning into a different station.

Alternatively, as a Pandora Premium subscriber, you do have the option to create custom playlists that are not subject to these licensing restrictions. For instructions on how to create a custom playlist, check out the accepted solution to this thread: How to create a new playlist

We are continuously working on increasing the amount of songs which can be skipped on our stations. Our intention is to provide enough music you enjoy to avoid any inconvenience around this.

Hope this helps!
