Hi @scQue814
Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed experience! I can definitely understand how frustrating it is when what you’re hearing doesn’t line up with the sound you were expecting from the stations you’ve carefully crafted, especially when it interrupts the vibe you were going for. I took a closer look at your recent play history and do see that Bob Dylan played during your Shuffle session. While there isn’t a specific troubleshooting step I can offer to directly prevent that from happening, I’d like to pass your feedback along to our engineering team for a closer review of your Shuffle experience. When you have a moment, could you share a bit more detail about your listening habits? This will help provide better context and assist with investigating further:
Which device do you typically use when listening in Shuffle mode (Android, Windows desktop, iOS, etc.)?
Do you usually keep the same set of stations selected for Shuffle, or do you change them frequently?
When something doesn’t fit (like the Bob Dylan track), have you been using thumbs down during Shuffle?
Regarding your experience with your station The Ability to Swing Radio, I understand that the selections haven’t been matching your expectations, which can definitely take away from the experience. Could you tell me a bit more about what you’ve been hearing on that station?
What are some examples of tracks or artists that didn’t feel like a good fit?
What kind of sound or genre were you hoping the station would lean toward?
Have you had a chance to thumbs up songs that do match what you’re looking for, or thumbs down ones that miss the mark?
In the meantime, I recommend continuing to use your thumbs. This is the best way to help shape your stations and guide Pandora toward the sound you’re looking for. Appreciate you bringing your experience with Pandora to the community!
