Hi @Crestmeadow1600! Thanks for posting, hope your Saturday is going well.  I checked your Pandora account and I noticed a couple of things. Your account is currently upgraded to Pandora Plus, billed through Google Play. In the past, you've been upgraded to Pandora Premium, which offers a few more features.  Here are the difference: With Pandora Plus: All advertising removed Create radio stations and enjoy podcasts Higher quality audio Skip all you want Replay songs Listen offline with your Android or iOS phone With Pandora Premium: Listen to songs or albums on-demand. Create custom playlists. Enjoy podcasts. Download songs, albums, stations and playlists for offline listening. Access Higher Quality Audio Queue content to keep the music playing Utilize all of the benefits of Pandora Plus, like ad-free music, unlimited skips and replays on your stations. The reason you're hearing ads is because you're triggering a complimentary session of Premium in order to listen to on-demand content.  In the past, free listeners and Pandora Plus subscribers were only able to look for artists and tracks in order to create radio stations. We've updated your experience so that you have the ability to listen to content on-demand, without being a Pandora Premium subscriber. If you search for and select the name of an artist, or track, or album, you should be brought to a "backstage page" where you can either create a radio station or press play. If you press play you indicate that you'd like to listen to that content right away (or "on-demand"). Since only Pandora Premium subscribers can listen on-demand, you will either see an ad for Pandora Premium, or be prompted to watch a video ad to unlock a complimentary session of Pandora Premium. Hope that helps to explain. ++ If you'd like to upgrade back to Premium, let me know and I can offer some steps on how to do this through Google Play.  Thanks for being part of community! 🎧 ...
