This is a screenshot of the email I received. The second and third stations are separate seeds for the same station I listen to during the weekends. The weekend station should have dominated last year's wrap-up but was undercounted. I don't have screenshots but I've also received app notifications to try out Bruce Springsteen Radio, a new station in my collection with no thumbs up. I already have a station for Bruce that uses a different name and two artist seeds for Bruce, one as a solo artist and the other with the E Street Band. My stations are great and I don't have any problems with them. I love these notifications and emails. This is just an FYI for anyone working on analysis and outreach.

I just received an email with wrap-up stats and my top listens this month. It's really nice. I've noticed though that Pandora has problems tracking stations created from multiple seeds. Each seed seems to get tracked as a separate station. My July wrap-up reported my second and third most popular stations, even though they're seeds of the same station. It's actually one station that should've been in first place for the month. It isn't a problem and it's great to see these emails. My stations themselves are fine. I just wanted to flag this for anyone working on analysis and outreach behind the scenes.

I stick with one station while I'm working or to build up a new station. I also have a weekend station that runs by itself. But I love shuffle mode weekday mornings and evenings. It's fun to mix and match stations to create different moods.

I receive notifications from the Pandora app based on my listening habits. Pandora has the data it needs for a year in review and currently uses it to stay in contact with listeners. We are only a few months from December. Please bring back the year end recaps.

I saw a note that my [x] soundtracks were updated earlier this month. Some of the entries look like the final songs before the feature was deactivated. I'm not sure if others are new. Did you reactivate this feature or is the app confusing March 2024 with the final update? It'd be great if you restore the feature, even if it's only updated once a month or so. I discovered so much great music through the playlists.

Pandora shows some of this info in the profile. They have this data and even report it. They should restore the year end reports and use it to promote new content and features. I just discovered the energy boost and relaxed modes. Maybe include info on a user's top five energy and relaxed songs while letting them know about the new modes. Show me my top stations and stations I don't use but may be of interest to me.

For roughly six months as near as can tell. The songs I put on the shelf eventually returned but it took awhile.

Songs I thumb in curated mode appear in the station's thumbed up playlist. However, I don't see the thumb rating when they appear while listening to the curated mode where the song first appeared. Additionally, My Station mode does not appear to be influenced by songs thumbed in curated mode and only remembers songs thumbed in My Station.
I'm enjoying Songs of Summer right now. I love the musical road trip and thumbed dozens of songs across several curated modes. I expected My Station to be influenced by favorites but it feels like it's doing its own thing while the curated modes act as if it's my first visit. Songs of Summer and Decibel Radio are the best examples of where I'm finding this.
Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity

It's a little late but I wanted to share some of my playlists. Skyrim Great atmospheric music for studying, work or exploring a majestic landscape. I set aside battle music and the epic tracks in favor of ambient music to play in the background. Music of Dragon Age A really good score for a fantasy series and it helps when a major character is a singer. DA can occasionally drop a beautiful song that may be a poor fit elsewhere. Music of Mass Effect You can hear Bioware's cinematic ambitions grow over the course of the trilogy. Includes highlights from the farewell DLC, Citadel, and the unreleased Shepard of the Galaxy. Songs from Life is Strange The series is famous for its post-rock soundtrack although there's a club track in here. Also includes two covers of the Max and Chloe theme, Daughter from the Before the Storm prequel, and Novo Amor from the upcoming True Colors.

I rarely listen to the My Thumbs Up playlist but I noticed a few days ago the count was nearly 2700 songs. It currently shows 894 songs. Did something happen to Thumbs Up songs across my station? I did not delete any thumbs up ratings myself. Edit: It's now back up to 2,695 thumbs up. I didn't make any changes to restore the missing ratings.

I created a playlist over the summer called Springsteen's Songs of America while I was feeling hopeful and inspired. Two versions of Born in the USA, the original and a folk song version, life in Jersey, a tribute to immigration, struggles across the country, a civil rights anthem, and ending with The Rising.

I think the responsiveness of a station to a new thumbs up depends on the total number of ratings. A single thumbs up can get lost among dozens or hundreds of ratings but the station will notice after three or four. I had a station ignore an artist featured in the station art. One thumb in discovery mode didn't make a difference among a few dozen. The artist began appearing in the my station mode after three thumbs and now shows up regularly.

You may want to make sure the playlist doesn't switch over to autoplay after it runs through your selections. You can disable autoplay in Settings>Advanced. Just a few thoughts: Walk of Life - Dire Straits Walk This Way - Aerosmith or Run D.M.C (featuring Aerosmith) One Foot - Walk the Moon If I Should Fall Behind (Live 2000) - Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Reunion Tour Walk Like A Man - Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Walk On - U2 Walk Right In - Jerry Lee Lewis Walk On By - Dionne Warwick Walk Away Renee - The Four Tops

My morning radio has exploded now that I'm not commuting. I listened to Pandora before but it was always offline playlists in the subway. I'm also leaning towards more chill stations since the world's gone mad. Laid Back Morning, Laid Back Brunch, Upbeat Indie Morning, Acoustic Classic (Rock), Motown, Taylor Davis (violin), My Celtic (custom), and a few singer-songwriter stations in the morning. I still like soundtracks as background music at work. Jam Bands, Ska Punk, and College Rock (all custom), takeover in the afternoon. I had fun creating this station recently. Jack Johnson and Friends Radio.

Thanks for the tip. I set the profile to private ages ago and didn't realize it would hide the playlists. It should be working now.

The cover art for my Laid Back Morning Radio changed from Norah Jones to Fleetwood Mac. The Norah Jones thumbnail caught my eye and she's featured regularly in my rotation. I'm not a Fleetwood Mac fan and I'd probably hit skip if they showed up. Also, the thumbnail switched from a predominantly dark color scheme to mostly white. I'm looking for a new image that I don't associate with my station. I would like to be able to pick cover art that's meaningful for me and keep that image so I can easily find it when scanning a long list. Others in this thread have also commented on thumbnails switching to an artist they don't listen to on that station. Option one is let users visit an album and bring up "Assign Album Art to Playlist" and "Assign Album Art to Station." That's probably the more straightforward approach. Second option is to let users also import their own art and make their shareable stations more memorable. I have some images I'd love to use for a playlist instead of the checkerboards.

Got it, thanks. Here's my Skyrim playlist. It leans towards the peaceful background music and away from the viking chorus. Nice for a hike in the woods which is practically half the game anyways. Skyrim And here's my favorites from the Dragon Age games. Music of Dragon Age

My DM organizes his music library by setting and mood. He selects a category for a scene and hits random. Sometimes we all pause when the perfect music cue starts at just the right moment. You could create playlists like Combat, Exploration, Nature, Nautical, Taverns, and Spooky. Skyrim has great background music for exploration. I created a playlist with my favorites here. If you're looking for something authentic, Pandora has a lot of nature sounds including dozens of tracks from the Disney nature films. You can find music for taverns from Skyrim, Dragon Age 2, and an entire album of bard songs from Dragon Age Inquisition. You can curate a playlist and hit random but be careful about letting it slip to Autoplay. Autoplay is nice but it may select some off the mark tracks. Unless you don't mind Tom Petty showing up in the middle of a dungeon crawl.
