I have been listening to Pandora since the beginning. At one point something changed in how music was plays randomly. On my fist account I have hundreds of stations and artists. And when suffling station I could go weeks without hearing the same song. Then all of a sudden my station suffle play become redundant. The same songs, the same artists, over and over and over. No variations. I wrote to pandora to ask why my station shuffle is now only play the same songs and same artists over and over. Never playing any new songs or artists. Pandora response was I have to delete all of the songs I had thumbed up. And change my stations by adding more artist to each station. At this point I had been listening to pandora for over 15 years and had 100's of thumped up songs. So I was willing to delete all of them. So i continued to listen to my stations shuffle play the same songs and artists over and over and over until I couldn't take it anymore. So I created a new premium account. In this account I created 100's of stations with the max amount of artists allowable. Then I started listening, and lowandbehold, new artists and new songs, I was extatic, finally truly random artists and songs. Also with this new account I refrain from thumb uping any songs. Then after about 2 weeks, once again same artists same songs over and over. Whatever algorithm ya'll are using has no idea what you paying customers want to hear. If I wanted to hear the exact same music and artists over and over I can listen to the radio. Why can't random shuffle of stations and artists be random? Why does this algorithm kick in and assume I want to hear the same music over and over again. Please, can we just have a station that plays every thing randomly. Or is this not doable because of some monetary reason, we are forced to listen to the same thing over and over again. I have a premium account so all I have to do is push play and different genres of music plays with different songs and different artists. Thanks Randall
