Yo, Pandora, Stop tinkering with the algorithms, add a block artist feature, and then continue working on the algorithms.  Back in the Aughts when I first listened to Pandora, its general algorithm was really good. When I returned after seven years during covid, I noticed at about the 2-3 hour mark, the station would spiral out of control. There was no rhyme or reason how it veered off course into a completely different genre. It requires a lot of tweaking to get it to not mix in utter, dissimilar music. I once had started with an electronic station that I had created and tweaked that would'nt correct course from the opera and opera-like songs that had begun to playing some 25 minutes prior. And that there is still no artist blocking is either incompetence personified or a company with strange priorities. I was once a paying customer, and was considering an annual subscription again, but this is a dealbreaker. ...

Don't know what the wrapped feature is.  Can you explain for everybody? As for the original topic.  I continue to use Pandora, but as a family plan subscriber I find myself wondering if they have hit the wall as far as improving the listening experience.  Do other users see them improving/evolving?  Certainly not with listening history as far as I know. At least the thread hasn't been shut down.  😒 ... View more

I also would like an option to remove "clean" versions from my stations. I don't care if it's the only version available on Pandora. I do not want to listen to censored or "clean" versions of songs. Thanks! ... View more

Holy smokes! What a blast from the past! I never realized Pandora had an entire Community thread section until today. I've been using Pandora for many years. I thought about creating a thread here reminiscing about the old Pandora profile comments, but decided to search for this topic first to see if anyone else missed them. I used to spend hours chatting with other Pandora users through that mechanism—literally got me through college. I think they stopped working around 2019. Profile comments were like old-school AOL instant messenger; only had a handful of friends, but gradually developed more as you met new people through your existing friends. It felt like a secret clubhouse! Haha! Sad day when that feature shut down. ... View more

Not just google and android.  This happens on my web version and ios device.  If I wanted a station, I would create it.  This needs to end. ... View more

Singer Songwriters? you MUST check out Harry Chapin then if you haven't yet. just wish Pandora was a bit more Album instead of Singles oriented, so many songs that are awesome by any artist are on their albums but never released as singles. because you are missing out if you never get the chance to hear "Circle" off of Chapin's Greatest Stories Live album ...

not to step on your toes but you can start with the premise that music is the 2nd best form of communication there is (extemporaneous dancing to music being THE best). the reason it's so good is that music speaks to both the rational part of the brain, e.g. the lyrics, the emotional via the rhythm and melody and the creative via the entire soundscape, the only reason dancing freeform extemporaneous is superior is it incorporates body language AND it bypasses the barriers we humans tend to always keep up, even with those we love. or at least it all has that potential... good luck yeah, I've thought about this topic allot over the years ...
