@bhartman67 Unfortunately, this is how the family plan works - it allows up to six total accounts to join one subscription. You won't be able to stream the same Pandora account across multiple devices at the same time.
If you and your other family members typically use separate devices to stream Pandora, then the best option would be to make sure everyone is signed into their respective accounts on each of their devices.
That way, each of you will be able to stream your own Pandora accounts at the same time, without having to worry about "Someone else is listening" error message from popping up.

Family Plan on your Alexa device:
I provided some information around how you can utilize the family plan on your Alexa device in my message above.
In order for you and your other family members to stream Pandora simultaneously on your Alexa devices, you'll first need to set up Amazon Household.
Once this has been done, you will be able to create an additional Amazon account that can then be linked to your other family member's Pandora accounts.
If you need additional assistance with the Amazon Household account, feel free to contact their support team to help you get set up.

Family plan on your Sonos device:
It sounds like you might be using the Sonos app when streaming Pandora on that device.
What I recommend doing, is letting each member of your family know that they can actually stream to Sonos directly from the Pandora app on their mobile devices.
So for example, if you have an iPhone, you can launch the Pandora app and control your Sonos device directly from there.
To do that, make sure you're connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Sonos device, and open the Pandora app.
Tap the casting button on the Now Playing screen to initiate a connection with your Sonos device.
Once you've connected successfully, the casting icon will appear filled in and a new navigation screen (or "device shelf") will appear. This shelf will allow you to edit your Sonos groups, select which devices to play through, or control the volume of your devices.
To edit the group of currently playing devices click on Show Group.
To make changes to other groups click Edit.
Utilizing Pandora directly through the app will allow each of you to connect to that device without having to manually sign out of the account already logged in and sign in to your own account each time.
Hope this helps!
