Hi @hcowart
Welcome to community.
I moved your post over to our Android Board since as a Premium subscriber, you have the option to disable Auto-Start on your Android device.
If you'd like to have more control over initiating playback when opening the Pandora app, Plus and Premium subscribers can manage their Auto-Start settings by using the following steps:
Open Pandora.
Tap Profile.
Next select the Settings gear in the upper right corner.
Then tap Advanced.
Scroll down and toggle the switch next to Enable Auto-Start Off.
If this is happening on a web browser then it may be possible to disable auto playback from the browser settings.
