Unable to curate my stations

Poodogle

I love Pandora, but when I first found Pandora, I was able to curate my station with the types and styles of music that I enjoyed.  That seems to have disappeared.  Now you pick a station and like or dislike songs on that station.  

I have an eclectic music ear.  I like songs from different genres but can't seem to find a station that allows me to tweak and tune to my musical ear.  

Has anyone found this to be true for them?

Hi @Poodogle , thanks for posting.

Stations are based on the songs or artists that you use as seeds and evolve according to the thumbs up and down you give.

You can add variety to a station if you add new seeds to it,

To add variety to a station:

1. From My Collection, visit your station list.
2. Tap on the name of the station you'd like to edit. 

  • If you're a Pandora Premium subscriber, this will take you directly to the station's "backstage page." 
  • If you're a free listener or Pandora Plus subscriber, this will start your station, so tap either the Thumb or small "i" icon in the upper right corner of your screen to continue to the station's backstage page.

3. From the station's backstage page, tap on the Edit icon (the small pencil to the left of the play icon) to edit your station, and scroll down to Station Created From.

4. Use the + Add Variety button to search for an artist or track to add as a seed on your station.

Keep in mind that each seed you add will inspire hundreds of other songs, so a little variety goes a long way.

Note: you won't be able to add variety to your Thumbprint Radio station or to genre stations curated by Pandora. If you'd like more information about why, let me know.

You can also create different stations on your account and use the shuffle feature to listen to a more eclectic mix.

Let me know if you need more information about this.
