@AdamPandora I currently have Pandora Premium thankfully, but I haven't used the playlists yet. I'll poke around at it, and if nothing else I can pick out all the songs I've found so far and use that as a new starting point for discovery. Thank you again for the advice, and I'm glad to have located the community section 🙂

@AdamPandora Is it possible to just wait out the time for that function to return? The thumbs downs are tracks I don't want to play on that station; not just songs I don't feel like listening to at the time. Also, are there other ways to fine tune a station so that different music types don't show up? I have other stations for music that I listen to on the regular, I even made a new station for a style of song I didn't realize I would like so much so I could thumbs them up there and down on the Shanties station. I appreciate the clarification above, it is what I had read elsewhere in the community, but it's always nice to know it's the same thing I'm looking at.

Name: Jon Place of Origin: Texas Favorite Genre: None; I listen to House music, folk songs, alternative rock, metal, ballads, and more. I can't pick a favorite, but I use music for theming periods of time and specific activities. Listening to Now: Shanties at the moment, doing research. Fave Feature: Stations; the ability to separate my music interests and tune the stations to either play just that music or be open to similar styles. I've been a pandora listener for ages, with some lulls in usage. I think somewhere back in the 2010 range. I only recently popped into the community area, mostly because I didn't know it was here. Figured I'd at least say hi, rather than just asking for advice. Happy holidays all.

A bit of a necro post but I can definitely attest to the ranks counting activity across the platform. I joined the community to ask a question and was immediately catapulted up to Local Performer; I'm guessing it's cause I'm an old user. Nice to see that 10 year marker pop up immediately, this is a surprisingly well integrated community site.

I've recently been trying to find a very specific style of music, and found that Pandora has more music than I can find even on other platforms interestingly enough. As such I've been using pandora to pick out these songs, (Shanties that are easy to sing along with specifically) and have been doing pretty well. But apparently there is a feature where if you thumbs down tracks on a station modes will get removed. Because of this, I can no longer use 'Discovery' on that station and I wanted to know if there was a better method to tune since this apparently flags some kind of issue? Assistance or advice will be most appreciated. Attaching screenshot of the situation in particular as I've seen that requested a lot by mods.
