Can I please be added to the support ticket? Alexa will play only *one* of my stations and only if I issue the voice command as "Alexa, play Darkwave Radio from [my name]'s Pandora." Furthermore, irrespective of what station was previously playing, if I leave my Echo paused for a while and tell it to "Resume playback" it always plays my "Newage Electronica" station. jdb2 ...

An update : My problems with my Echo devices and Pandora have gotten even worse. Now when I ask one of my Echos to play one of my stations other than "Darkwave Radio", it's response is that it can't find it. The only station that I *can* play via voice request is "Darkwave Radio" and *only* if I phrase the voice request as "Play Darkwave Radio from [my name]'s Pandora." Also, when I leave Pandora paused on one of my Echos for a while and I ask it to "continue playback," it *always* plays my "New Age Electronica" station, irrespective that "Darkwave Radio" was playing previously. jdb2 ...

An update on the particular manifestation of this problem w.r.t. me : Previously, this problem was only affecting one of my Pandora stations, but now it seems it's affecting all of them and I can only get my Echo to play, via voice command, one of them. Before a few days ago, I could tell my Echo(s) "Play my Pandora station [such-and-such]" and it would obey. The only station for which this didn't work was my "Darkwave Radio" station for which I had to say "Play Darkwave Radio from [my-name]'s Pandora." That hasn't changed, *but*, now when I try to get any of my other Pandora stations to play via voice command to my Echo(s), the Echo(s) instead play some random garbage stations of which I've never heard and no permutation or variation on the voice command I issue to my Echo(s) seems to solve the problem. So, it's gotten worse in my case. Also, sometimes when I tell my Echo(s) to "Resume playback," one of my other Pandora stations will start to play, with my Echo responding with "Resuming Pandora", even though I had previously been listening to "Darkwave Radio." It's ridiculous that Pandora has not only failed to fix these problems, but that they've gotten worse. I don't know what to do -- I'm thinking about dropping Pandora like others in this thread. jdb2 ... View more

Well, it looked like the issue had been resolved, for me at least. I had told my Echo(s) to "Play my Pandora station Darkwave Radio" several times and it had worked. Then, yesterday, it stopped working and reverted to its old behavior 😕 Don't know what is causing this. jdb2 ... View more

I've been using the workaround that consists of telling my Echo to "Play Darkwave Radio from [my name's] Pandora". This morning I inadvertently told my Echo(s) to play my "Darkwave Radio" Pandora station the "old way" which is "Play my Pandora Station Darkwave Radio", and guess what, it worked! 😀 I don't know if this is just specific to me eg. a one-off or something, but it seems the issue has been resolved in my case. Has anyone else experienced similar behavior? jdb2 ... View more

Well, I found a workaround. If I ask my Echo(s) to "Play Darkwave Radio from [my name]'s Pandora" it correctly plays the station with the response "Playing Darkwave Radio from [my name]'s Pandora." I know this isn't a solution, but, if you're having a similar problem you might want to try several variations of your query which you use to play the specific Pandora station on your Echo that's giving you trouble -- it worked for me. Anyway, this seems to be a problem with Amazon's back-end speech recognition engine. jdb2 ... View more

I'm having essentially the same exact problem, which started this morning. I have two Amazon Echo Studios plus an Echo Sub in a 2.1 stereo pair. Up until this morning, I could say "Alexa, play my Pandora station Darkwave Radio" and my Echo(s) would play the requested station. Now, when I ask my Echo(s) to "Play my Pandora station Darkwave radio", instead of playing the requested station, my Echo replies with "Shuffling your stations from [my name]'s Pandora." *But*, if I ask my Echo(s) to "Play my Pandora station New Age Electronica," my Echo(s) correctly plays the requested station with a reply of "Playing New Age Electronica from [my name]'s Pandora." So, like other people with this problem, it seems to be station specific. I did call Amazon device support about this and they basically blew me off telling me it wasn't their problem and to contact Pandora support -- I don't know how some of the other posters got their issue escalated. Any info or help resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, jdb2 ... View more
