Thanks for sharing @stonekarma! I need to tune in to that station next time when I'm reading manga! Usually, when reading manga, I love to listen to my Nujabes Station. It's a low-fi and instrumental hip-hop genre station and keeps me relaxed and intrinsically motivated when reading. Love to see and hear all your guys' tunes when doing certain activities! ...

Hi @RedNeckJiuJitsu 👋 Thanks for sharing and sorry to hear that the volume randomly shifts when playing Pandora. For organization purposes, I've moved your post to an existing thread under Android: Notifications Each Time the Song Changes. Regarding the notifications each time the song changes, please check out the accepted solution to this thread here. As to the volume difference, we don't alter music equalization on Pandora from how it appears on the original releases, unlike terrestrial radio, which compresses the entire broadcast. As a result, some songs sound louder than others. However, we do use the Replay Gain technique that encodes a fixed volume adjustment into the mp3/mp4 header so that the actual player (web browser, phone or device) can adjust volume just as the track begins playing. If there are vast differences, it could also be due to different instrumentation or arrangements causing different apparent levels of volume where the actual decibel levels are the same. However, If this is a new issue, I have enabled a trace on your account. For this trace to be helpful, we'll need you to run through our Troubleshooting for Android Devices. Hope this helps and let me know how it goes. ... View more

Hi @denisgoodwin! 👋 Thanks for posting and to keep things organized I moved your original post to an existing thread under iOS: AirPlay Connects but Song Doesn't Play. I've enabled a trace on your account and for this trace to be helpful please run through our iOS Troubleshooting Steps. Once those steps have been completed, would you mind trying again? However, if you continue to experience issues when playing songs via AirPlay, could you share a bit more about the iOS device you're using to connect to AirPlay? 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) Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening? Hope this helps and let us know! ... View more

Hi @Outlaw33 👋 Thanks for posting and sorry to hear about the playback issue. Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening? Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device? If you are on a computer, are you listening from: A Mac or Windows computer? Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using? What song or station when you experienced this? Is there an error message? However, I was checking your account and it seems like you recently activated several Premium Access Sessions, which allows you to interact with an ad in order to listen to content on-demand. Because these sessions are funded by advertisements, your account will return to your regular service automatically at the end of the session and you won't be charged any Premium fees. Just out of curiosity, were you trying to play a song on-demand after your Premium Access Session ended? If so, this may cause that song to be unavailable to play. If not, please send along your computer details so we can take a closer look. Looking forward to your response! ... View more

Hi @qlorvold  Thanks for reporting back. Just for clarification, we moved your original post to an existing thread under "Something Has Gone Wrong" When Playing Podcasts. I was checking out that podcast and I was able to play several episodes on season 3 and other seasons on my end. Let's try some next steps to see if we can play those episodes on your end. I would recommend rebooting your computer device and rebooting your network connection: Shut down your device completely; Unplug your modem and router, wait one full minute, and then plug them back in; Wait five more minutes to allow the modem and router to fully boot back up; Turn your device back on and try Pandora again. If Pandora still isn’t working, could you check if you’re able to connect to your network using another streaming service, such as YouTube? I would also like to ensure that you’ve cleared the cache for the browser you’ve been using to stream the podcast. If you need steps on how to do that, please let me know. Let us know how it goes! ... View more

Hi @Edddd  Thanks for posting, just for clarification, I moved your original post to our Other Devices space. This issue is usually specific to the network you're using to access Pandora, or due to an error on the device itself. First make sure your device has the latest firmware by checking for a new update. If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete. If you're still having the same problem, then please try a few standard network troubleshooting steps: Try connecting directly via an Ethernet cable rather than using Wi-Fi (if you have this option on your device), and see if that helps. Try rebooting your modem and router and restarting the device. Try removing and re-adding the app (if this is possible on your device). You can also contact the manufacturer directly to troubleshoot your specific device and settings. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. ... View more

Hi there @qlorvold 👋 Thanks for posting and being a part of the Community and thank you for reporting this. A couple of questions: Could you share a link to the podcast episode? What happens when you attempt to play the podcast? Do you receive any error messages? If so, what exactly does it say? Lastly, I've enabled a trace on your account to get a better understanding of what's going on. For this trace to be helpful, I encourage you to perform our Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome troubleshooting steps and attempt to play that podcast one more time. Looking forward to your response and let us know how it goes! ... View more

Hey there @WP2B I understand how frustrating this could be and I do apologize for the inconvenience. I've enabled a trace on your account so that we can get a better understanding of what's going on. However, If it doesn't appear to be storage related, let's try reseting the download process on your Apple Watch: Power off and restart your iPhone and Apple Watch. Confirm your iPhone and Apple Watch are connected via Bluetooth and to the same Wi-Fi network. Allow Pandora to refresh in background (Watch app on iPhone > General > Background App Refresh). Dock your Apple Watch on its charger. If the issue continues after waiting some time for the download process to begin, delete the app from your Apple Watch and then reinstall. If the issue continues, could you provide me with a bit more information about your devices? What iPhone model do you have? What version is your Apple Watch on? (Open the Watch app on your phone and go to General > About> Version) Hope this was helpful, let me know how it goes. ... View more

Hi @AngelaMcCoy 👋 Thanks for posting and being a part of the Community. Just a heads up, I moved your post to an existing thread under Music Suggestions. If you haven't checked already, we have several hip-hop/rap throwback stations on Pandora which includes: 2000's Hip-Hop Station Classic Hip-Hop Station 2010 Hip-Hop Station 90's Hip-Hop Station I suggest checking out those stations to get some inspiration on what to add to your playlist.

Hi @rcb13 👋 Thanks for your first post and for being a part of the Community. It sounds like the feature you're mentioning is adding varieties to your stations. Adding variety will introduce a wider variety of music to your station based on each of the artist or song "seeds" you add. Just for clarification, this feature is not gone, but if you're having issues accessing the backstage page of your station or adding variety to your station, please let us know! To add variety from a computer, click on the name of the station you'd like to edit. If the station is not available from your Now Playing page, click on the My Collection button first, sort your collection by Stations, and then select the name of the station you'd like to edit. From there you can Add Variety to your station by scrolling down to the Station Created From section. Then choose + Add Variety. Next, either enter the name of another song or artist, or roll your cursor over a suggested artist. Whichever you choose, hover your mouse over your selection and click on the artist or song to add that seed to your station. Hope this helps! ... View more

I don't know many guitarists, so I can't say who's the greatest, but my favorite guitarist is definitely Prince! May his soul rest in peace or Prince! I grew up listening to his music through my dad and I just loved his energy, his personality, and his swagger! Great topic discussion! I'm eager to look up all the other guitarists on this thread and discover new music, thanks y'all! ... View more

Hi @jjchem! Thanks for posting and nice to see you around the Community. Since you're a Pandora Premium listener, I moved your post to this existing thread under iOS: Edit Shuffle on Premium. To edit which stations are played during Shuffle: Go to My Collection. Pandora Premium subscribers will need to filter My Collection further by Stations. Then tap the Pencil to the right of Shuffle stations. There, you can select or deselect which stations you'd like to appear in your Shuffle by Station or Genre. Tap Save on the top right corner of your screen when done. There, you can select or deselect which stations you'd like to appear in your Shuffle by Station or Genre.

However, To shuffle an on-demand piece of content such as an album or playlist: Go to the Now Playing screen and select the icon with intersecting arrows on the bottom of the screen to turn Shuffle on or off. When the shuffle icon is highlighted, it will shuffle all the songs from that album or playlist Hope this helps, let us know if you have trouble doing this! 🎶 ... View more
