Thank you very much. Hope they figure out what’s happening. I don’t want to hear Christmas music when it’s 85° and September just started! Today it also happened with another artist I often listen to. Sammy Kershaw. Thank you, Vinnie Sent from my iPhone not yours ... View more

The artist is Jon Pardi and it happened yesterday at about 1900 hours.  I never had any station called holiday music for any artist, yet one was in with my Pandora stations.  I deleted it and made sure there were no others ... View more

Hi, thank you for offering to help.  I contacted Yamaha, and they had me unplug the receiver and reset it to see if that fixes the issue. So far, so good.  But I will let you know as I keep playing it. I do however have another issue with Pandora with another device. When I tell Pandora on my Bose smart speaker to play one particular artist, it will only play Christmas music. Someone suggested going into my music folder and seeing if there was a holiday music category for this artist, which there was. I didn’t put it there and have never listened to it so I don’t know how it got into my folder, but I did delete it and there were no other others. However now I still ask the speaker to play the same artist, and it still plays only holiday music. If I ask it to switch to another artist it goes back to playing regular music. Then if I ask it to go back to that artist again it will again play only holiday songs. I am using Google assistant on my Bose portable Smart speaker.  This has been going on for about three weeks now, only with the same artist   ... View more

Good afternoon, thank you for taking the time to answer me. I don’t have any station set on the speaker.  I just tell it to play an artist.  I say “play Jon Pardi” and it has played for the last two years I have the speaker.  Any artist I tell it to play it plays, and I never specified any holiday station.  I don’t even know how to delete a station because I haven’t seen them anywhere.  I just talk to the speaker.  I’m going to investigate this, and might have to call Bose to see how to delete stations, as well as the other issue regarding Google assistant.  Thank you ...

I actually recorded it on video.  In 8/31 at 12:04 PM I asked it to play Jon Pardi. It played him, but only Christmas music.  I then told it to play Sammy Kershaw, and it did; regular music.  I then asked it to play Jon Pardi again, who I play frequently, and it went right back to playing Christmas music.  I still have the video if you want to see it?  I might even have one from another day.  Also my Pandora cannot ID artist or song the last few weeks. It won’t pause speaker, or resume either ... View more

After speaking to a few people at Bose, I got one guy who told me it’s a known issue with Google Assistant, not the speaker or Pandora.  We tested all 3 and that’s what we discovered.  it took almost a month, but Google finally ALMOST fixed the issue. my speaker will now play music when I tell it, but it will not pause if I tell it,  and it will not restart if I manually paused it!  Not sure if they will ever fix this ...
