Right now I have two active stations I listen to. Both are a very similar genre, but one of them is for when I want to sing along, and one is for mostly instrumental music when I'd rather focus more on working. I've recently come across two songs that are somewhat new to me. On the primarily instrumental station, I've come across a great song to sing to, and on the station I sing along to I've found a great instrumental song. If I want to keep listening to these songs, I should give them a thumbs up, but then they're on the wrong station. I'll often give them a thumbs down so that they don't appear on the wrong station, and hope they show up on the right one, but sometimes they never show up. One solution to this is to just give the song a thumbs down, and then Add Variety to the station that I want to have the song on. However, there are a few downsides to this approach. First off, it's more work to open up a different station, and add variety from there, compared to other actions like adding the song to my collection or giving it a thumbs up. Second, The song doesn't always show up just because it's been added to the station via Add Variety button. In fact, I've started at least one station where the song that I based the station off of never played at all (I know you're out there; by Stephanie Mabey). It was a less well known artist, but it was kind of disappointing that it never showed up. Maybe it would have eventually showed up, but I can't make it show up more frequently without giving it a thumbs up, and I can't give it a thumbs up until it plays. The third problem is created by what I just mentioned; you can't give a thumbs up until the song plays. As someone who loves using the Thumbs Up Playlists that I get as a part of Premium, this means that I can't permanently add the song to the playlist until it shows up. (I can add it temporarily, but I believe it removes the added song when I give a new song a thumbs up, because the added song is not thumbed up on that station.) Originally I was only going to request that a song added to the Thumbs Up Playlist should be thumbed up on the station it comes from. However, I think that it would also be extremely useful if I could select a song that's playing, and press, "This song fits another station" (just like adding it to a playlist), and have it added to a different station, either via giving it a Thumbs Up on that station, or through Add Variety (as long as the song eventually plays). This would make it a lot easier for me to listen to new songs on stations that they wouldn't have normally appeared on. Thanks for your consideration of these features!
