I certainly have sympathy for you and others. However, this may have been one of the threads I initiated or commented on because of my own frustration; that I was equally frustrated not obtaining any real solution through our community. But wait. That said, I managed to get relief from my own issues to effectively block artists and their influence on my play list, as well as a cleansing of those artists then polluting my genre. I think the issues boil down to Pandora withholding the tools to correct a wide range of issues they can and do quickly resolve once you reach someone. The communication between customers and Pandora reminds me of Dorothy's frustration with the Wizard of Oz. I scrolled down to the typical "contact Pandora " at the bottom of the page. I detailed my issues and requests and got a response and solution the same day. I was connected to a live conversation, yes live, with tech. Within a short few minutes my issues were corrected. But I never got the 'how to' tool. Which socks. So my suggestion is to reach out ss I did, and like Dorothy pester them. They do reply and will fix play list issues to the playlists that we spend so much time building that makes for our love/hate with Pandora. Hope this helps. ... View more

Hi A - I contacted Pandora. Got an auto response case # email. Then never heard back, but miracle I've not heard anymore C&W either. I know there are thousands out there complaining about this, but try emailing support. I cross my fings it's not a fluke. ... View more

What am I paying 10$ a month for (double) from last year, and constantly have to interrupt what I am doing to squash C&W songs that have nothing to do with my Blues station? PLEASE  fix it!   I have a Sotify account as a trial that I think I may jump after 16 years with P. Since the tracks are on only one station, not infecting others so far nor has the moderator answered my direct emailed question, I have 3 strategies in mind: 1. Find a Pandora phone contact 2. Set up another station with the same seeds, losing my thumbs of several years then deleting the station. 3. Close my premium account. You'd think after doubling its cost would bring improved features. -- BTW I am looking to either duck duck go or other ad blocker to work on the Pandora platform. I would be happy to listen to blank space between several tracks. 4. Begin to refine my trial Spotify account for a transfer. Listening briefly to C&W and now evangelical like C&W stuck between blues is so disturbing that it makes me angry enough to take the pleasure of listening to the blues. Pandora has known about the problem at least, since 2019 and has done absolutely nothing. Moderators evade the question. Sorry to vent. I am just passed off.   mod edit: merged comments ...

Good luck. Thumbs down and thumbs up will not eliminate 80s rock.  It's a whack a mole issue that Pandora can't or won't fix. I have the issue with my blues station when I accidentally listened to a C&W cut. Now I can't get rid of the polluting spread into my station.  The more thumbs down, the worse the station gets not better.   ... View more

GDamn it. You have had years and years to correct blocking an artist and related cleanse a station of an unrelated genre. To give an example, I play a blues station, "Lightning Hopkins" made an error trying a song by Ralph Stanley.  When I realized he is C&W. Immediately removed him. But he spermed (being polite) up my station. Now he keeps playing, and more country spawn is infected and messing up my blues. Thumbing down is a whack-a-mole project that doesn't work. Kill one R. Stanley song and another shows up.  Now seems I may be getting gospel or faith music.   You've had years and years and complaints, yet all that gets done is a moderator or other says, 'to keep things better orgnized I've transferred your post to suc and such subject. Go there it's like no one hears anything. Question comes up under 'blocking a station' and the moderator comment "I am moving your comment to 'blocking a ztation' to keep things organized". How disorganized is that. Moderator or whoever is a bot, so you can avoid addressing something you should have done years and ago, because ignoring it was better, since correcting it was just to much dicking work. Like I said the dicking around has ducked up my account, like the delayed loading, dropped songs etc.  I fixed the loading issue clearing the cache, but this is getting me to listen to my new Spotify ap. Are you listening to me and all of the same complaints I read going back years?  ... View more
