After I last posted, I've had to uninstall and reinstall Pandora 3 times, to "fix" the connection problem. ... View more

Some broadly categorize ambient to include rave type stuff. Fortunately for me, Pandora's algorithm is good in that regard.  I have a friend that is an ambient musician in New Zealand. His name is Rudy Adrian. I find about 95% of his music is very conducive to relaxation, sleep, or introspection. Try his Moonwater track on Pandora. Another good thing for me is bird sounds. Locally, we used to  have a wonderful classical public radio station. About 5 years ago it was hijacked by news,talk, & jazz. Ugh. Hopefully, I won't have to reload the Pandora app again. ...

I understand your frustration. I primarily use my Kindle as a Pandora Player to help with insomnia. I wake in the early hours (1AM to 5AM) and if I listen to soft ambient music (not the %$#&*@ shuffle station it defaults to) I can get back to sleep sometimes.I use earbuds so as not to disturb my wife. This all depends on how much messing around I have to do to get Pandora to function. I don't want to wake myself up by staring at a screen, go get my glasses so I can read what is going on, uninstall, reinstall, sign in to Pandora again, select station... Amazon's music player is far too complicated to navigate with low vision acuity and the focus on selling me pop music I don't care about...at 2:32am.This has been happening for over a year. I usually give up. I keep a portable CD player as back up...but it isn't the same. The batteries are often low. I just want a quick way to get back to sleep. I have a big old CD player that holds 100 CDs, it may be time to figure out an easy way to hook it up to some earphones and start it playing with one easy switch. A side issue: if the font size in the Pandora app wasn't so tiny, it might make the issue easier to deal with...and before any one mentions it, yes, I have the Kindle font size cranked up to max. White on blue isn't the best for contrast either. Moderator Edit: Format ... View more

I've had the same issue. Then, there was a change in what happened when I re-downloaded, the appearance of the Amazon app store changed. I downloaded Pandora again, and it seem to stall while installing. I let the kindle sit there doing its thing (because I have other things to do with my life) and then it worked. I shutdown the Kindle, then restarted before downloading Pandora, so it may have updated and rebooted the appstore. Now it works. I did the process so many times, I don't recall what I changed. I remember accessing the Amazon apps via Firefox web browser at some point. Perhaps try Amazon via Silk. Moderator Edit: Format ... View more
