iOS: "There Was an Error Saving the Playlist"

[tdsmith1187]

On my iPhone 12, when I try to edit my thumbs up playlist and click done, I get a message that says, "There was an error saving the playlist." And the song hasn't deleted. I've tried closing and re-opening the app, but the songs are still there.

I've also tried deleting songs from my playlist on my desktop (a Mac laptop). I have some success in deleting songs, but there is a weird glitch happening where I get to a certain place on my playlist, and a few things happen all at once:

1) I no longer have the option to delete songs

2) Most songs are showing up as numerous duplicates

3) The scroll bar keeps changing (as if the playlist is multiplying in loading more and more songs, perhaps creating more duplicates as mentioned in #2)

Not sure if my devices are possessed, or if there's a way to clean this up. Thanks in advance.

mod edit: changed title for clarity

@Keysean2 I can repost it - I have reported this issue to our engineering team. Having this information will be helpful for our engineers:

• Does this happen with all of your playlists? Or, one playlist specifically?
• Device & Generation: (e.g. iPhone X, iPad Air (3rd gen), etc.)
• Carrier:
• iOS version: (Settings > General > About > Version)
• Pandora version: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen)

Thanks again for reporting. 🎧

I had to log out and log back in, that fixed the issue for me.

I’m also having this problem. It’s been happening for a while, and seems like it’s getting worse! I have an iPhone SE.

I am having the same problem as well, error saving playlist on my thumbs up, I can’t delete anything.

If so, which playlist does this happen with?

Hi Adam, could you maybe look into my issue with some of my saved and downloaded playlists not playing. It oddly only happens to 2 of them. 

[AlyssaPandora]

Hey there, @ShadowMaster. 👋

Could you share which playlists you're having trouble with?

Also, are you receiving that error message?

Does this happen when you're in offline mode?

Let me know. 🎧

Hello,

It’s my Disney and also my Eurovision playlists. I’ve also tried pulling up the songs from these playlists through the search function (out of curiosity to see if maybe it’s just my playlist and not the actual songs) and encountered the same issue. This occurs both in offline mode and with cellular data. I don’t think I’ve had this issue when connected to Wi-Fi though.

Thank you,
Anise

Is it possible to delete songs from your thumbs up list? Every time I try to delete one, it says there was an error saving the playlist.

We're in the year 2023... Why is Pandora still having this SAME issue? I've tried countless times for years to delete songs from my playlist and I can't 😒

I have an iphone11 pro max, with the latest Apple update. Also I pay for my subscription. At the very least,  subscribers should be able to have control over their playlist. Fix the bug in your deletion feature. Gosh!

[AdamPandora]

@Keisha84 I would like to report this issue to our engineers. Could you tell me more about your device?

• Device & Generation: iphone11 pro max
• Carrier:
• iOS version: (Settings > General > About > Version)
• Pandora version: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen)
   

Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?

Have you identified any other patterns or notable information?

Thanks for your help with this.

Hi Adam.

My carrier is AT&T

IOS version 16.1.1

Pandora version 2212.1

My cellular and wifi connections work fine. That's not the problem.
I've tried deleting the songs on my PC and laptop. Same issue occur on those devices as well.
