So, I am a new user to Pandora. I recently just got it. I do not have Premium, or anything else like that. And I have been noticing something that’s very strange and frustrating to me.
I just created a new playlist, added some songs, had to restart my phone, cause my Wi-Fi **ahem**. Added some more songs. Had to restart my phone again. And when I get back, nearly HALF of the newly added songs were no longer on my playlist.
I also noticed something similar to my Liked Songs playlist. So, when I go to my profile, I can see that I have over 21 songs liked in total. But when I visit my actual playlist of my liked songs that Pandora generates automatically, only 9 of the songs showed up.
Is there something that I’m doing wrong with both these playlists? I’m not really sure what’s going on. Is anyone experiencing this as well?
mod edit: changed title for clarity
