My station is back to playing what I would classify as an appropriate assortment of music that I was used to. I occasionally dive into Discovery should I want to find new stuff. It is also back to playing less of one song on repeat as it had been. I would like to add that the algorithm does still tend to pick the same songs a little too much, but this has always been the case. Some of these artists have a hundred songs to pick from and it loves to play the same 10 on repeat.

Since you're looking for something of an answer, this is what I can provide for you so far. https://imgur.com/a/eXuff6m These screen grabs are what I can show you so far. The first 5 screens are the songs I've had to thumbs down in the last 4-5 days worth of listening. They're NOT even close to being the same music as the seed, which is the neo-folk band Forndom. The last 2 images are the seed bands that I put in to filter music. Special note, 2 of those bands haven't filtered in for months, (Gealdyr and Helmdom). The bands that have been playing on repeat, are Kalandra (just 1 song Helheim (Extended) - Tries to play as soon as I launch Pandora), and Trevor Morris (Ragnar Honors Athelstan's Death). By themselves, it would be fine if these filtered in once and a while; however the station attempts to, and has, play them almost immediately after I launch Pandora. I am also seeing an overabundance of Live performance versions filter in that I wasn't encountering before. While these aren't bad; many of these live versions aren't as good quality recordings. (Primarily the band Santiano.) When I'm launching Pandora, it's from a web browser using Chrome. I have not encountered this yet on a mobile device.

Worst of all for me, lately, are the same songs playing on repeat. Of all the bands it could pull from it's grabbing 5 or so songs and playing them on repeat.

Was there a recent change in the songs that filter into your station?
Just within the last week or so, my station has started filtering music that is completely unrelated to the style of music that station is geared towards. I mean, completely unrelated. I'm getting J-pop mixed into music that's Euro/norse/german folk - seeded by Wardruna. It's filtering in heavy metal, J-pop, and literally omitting several of the bands that are used to seed this station. Is there a setting that I can change? This is infuriating.
