I'm trying Pandora Radio on my Android app for the first time, today - mostly to test an issue that I had addressed in this thread.
I notice that Avenged Sevenfold Radio, Five Finger Death Punch Radio, Jimmy Reed Radio, and Thumbprint Radio (all stations that I recently listened to) are all missing from the My Collection list on the app. James Cotton Radio (with Avenged Sevenfold as a secondary seed), a station that I recently created for testing purposes, is appearing on the list, along with the following: Blues Magoos Radio, Blues Variety Radio (seeded with Sonny Boy Williamson I), Halloween Radio (seeded with Doyle), Rock Star City Life Radio (seeded with the Lenny Kravitz song of that name), Rock Variety Radio 1 (seeded with I Can Hear You Calling by April Wine), Rock Variety Radio 3 (seeded with Unto Us by Haven), and Scary Halloween Sounds (unconventional Pandora station). Blues Favourites Radio (seeded with Harpdog Brown and The Bloodhounds) also appears to be missing from the list.
When I initially did a search there for Avenged Sevenfold, it gave me a different station for Avenged Sevenfold Radio - which I soon after deleted. The missing station then briefly appeared - but have disappeared again, after the app crashing.
Just did another search for Avenged Sevenfold on the app, and gave me a different Avenged Sevenfold Radio. I'll listen to that one for awhile, and see what happens there.
mod edit: changed title for clarity

The problem is that, both times, the shift seems to have happened abruptly. The station would go from playing mostly my thumbed up tracks (with an occasional new song here and there) to playing largely my thumbed up rock tracks, with the thumbed up blues tracked played sparingly, and throwing new rock songs at me quite generously whenever I would start skipping over most of the rock tracks (mostly the ones that aren't by Avenged Sevenfold or Five Finger Death Punch) in hopes that more of the thumbed up blues tracks would play. I actually have more thumbed up blues tracks on that station than I do thumbed up rock track. I was under the impression that the My Station mode was supposed to mostly my thumbed up tracks with an occasional new track thrown in here and there, and that the other station modes were meant to be for when looking for more variety. I currently have 720 thumbed up tracks on that station, and I'm confident that at least 360 of those tracks are blues songs. Foghat (I thumbed up three blues-heavy songs from that artist) may be a bit of a borderline case. The last time I posted about this, which you linked to, you or someone else were able to switch it back from your end - and then it was good for the next few months (until it switched back). I don't like using playlist mode, because playlist mode uses up more resources on my computer than station mode does. I could try creating a new station from James Cotton, adding Avenged Sevenfold as a secondary seed to that station, and never using any other station mode besides My Station mode, and see if that works. Either way, I'm very disappointed with the change. ETA: I'll try other browsers and also try my Android app, in case this is a Firefox issue. This wouldn't be the first time Firefox messed up certain functions, even though I like it best since it's the least resource-heavy. ETA 1: Appears to be the same issue with Microsoft Edge. I'll check my Android app soon, as I currently have it charging.

This is the second time it's happened. I dunno if it's due to adjustments on your end - but, when listening to that station on My Station mode, it seems to be very stingy about playing the thumbed up blues tracks that I have on that station. Yes, I'm aware that Avenged Sevenfold is not a blues artist - but I still like having my variety of rock and blues tracks on that station. It's been pretty good about sticking with the variety I have thumbed up for most of the years I've been on Pandora. It switched at some point, last year - and then you appeared to switched back on your end, so then it's been back to normal for awhile. However, it's then switched back. I took a break from Pandora for a few months, hoping it would switch back eventually. Now, it seems like no matter how many rock tracks I give a thumbs down to on that station, it's still very stingy with playing my thumbed up blues tracks. I have 720 thumbed up tracks at that station, which should provide enough of a variety for that station to play. On another note, it also appears that certain tracks that I've previously given a thumbs down to come back - and, also, that certain tracks I've previously thumbed up will show up unthumbed. Anyway, is it possible for you to fix this? Thank you very much!

I am aware of licensing restrictions (I think it's no more than four songs by a particular artist within a two-hour period, if I recall correctly.) - but I'm not sure what I did differently that could change my station so drastically. If I wanted more variety on this station - that's what the other station modes are for, isn't it? Maybe there's a possible flaw in the system? The station mode reads 'my station' on my end, but it sure isn't behaving like it's that mode. It sounds more like the station mode is 'crowd faves', but that is not what I have selected. It should also be noted that I have plenty of songs thumbed-up by various other artists that have not appeared within this span of time. 1220 thumbed down songs as of this post. EDIT: Saw this notice again, today. I wonder if this has something to do with it: 'We’ve noticed some issues that may be affecting your ability to listen or use certain features on Pandora. We are working to address the problem. Thanks for your patience!' EDIT 2: It appears to be fixed, now. Thank you very much! 🙂

Even though Avenged Sevenfold is a hard rock band, I like to mix rock and blues on the same station - and, up until a little over a month ago, my Avenged Sevenfold Radio has been doing a good job of mixing the genres. However, the station has recently been choking out the blues variety and it keeps throwing songs at me that I never thumbed up in excess. I haven't been listening to any special mode, just 'my station'.
Is this change intentional? If so, I'm really gonna miss the station that I spent about six and a half years cultivating.

Here's another one. This is a live version. Here is the studio version that I initially thumbed up.

Okay, I found another one. This version of Diamonds at Your Feet by Muddy Waters is very scratchy, and is not the one that I initially thumbed up. Here is the version that I initially thumbed up (and is added to my collection). Thanks!! 🙂

I think it'd be cool to have station modes on Thumbprint Radio. My Station: Standard Thumbprint Radio Crowd Faves: Popular tracks from thumbed up artists Discovery: Artists you might like and have missed Deep Cuts: Less known tracks from thumbed up artists Artist Only: Not Applicable

This might also be an issue for other artists (I dunno) - but, as Jimmy Reed is my favourite blues artist, this has been noticeable for me. Not counting Scary Halloween Sounds (which doesn't play like a radio station), I have nine permanent stations in My Collections. It seems Jimmy Reed Radio is the only station to play Jimmy Reed. I don't have any blues music on Nature Sounds Radio (all nature ambient), Halloween Radio (Halloween rock and Halloween ambient), and Rock Variety Radio (rock music only) - so I wouldn't expect Jimmy Reed on those stations. I'm currently listening to Thumbprint Radio, and I've yet to hear Jimmy Reed get played. Remaining stations are Blues Variety Radio (blues music only), Charlie Musselwhite Radio (blues music only), Five Finger Death Punch Radio (rock and blues), and Avenged Sevenfold Radio (rock and blues). I also temporarily had a station created from Howlin' Wolf and seeded with Little Walter and Snooky Pryor (all artists similar to Jimmy Reed), and no Jimmy Reed showed up on that station - except for that one song attributed to "Jimmy Reed Baby". I suppose adding Jimmy Reed as a seed to those stations could resolve it, but it shouldn't have to be necessary.

Yeah, I have two stations with ambient sounds on it - which doesn't go very well with rock and blues, which is what my other stations focus on... especially as I typically like my rock and blues to be up-tempo, which bird sounds don't quite qualify as.

I recently got rid of My Thumbs Up Playlist, as it got to be a hassle. I prefer to keep my playlists organized, which means that I manually put the tracks in alphabetical order. Thumbprint Radio, on the other hand, is a nice feature to have - as it's a good place to get new song suggestions. I think it's be nice to remove some stations from Thumbprint Radio, though - as ambient stuff doesn't quite fit in well with rock and blues. Otherwise, I like it.

Bumping so that I can find the "like" function. ETA: Hm, I guess not. I wish it was easier to "like" suggestions from the archives.

I never thumbs up the live version of this song, yet it's showing that I did.
Here is the studio version that I had thumbed up.
BTW, would you rather that I keep all reports of this nature in one topic?

Personally, I was glad to see them gone - which tends to be too much of a troll magnet. That's an issue with almost any website that has comment sections. On forums such as these, which have a much more active moderator watch, that's a bit different.

I mostly listen to rock and blues, so some might be a bit surprised that I have a Nature Sounds Radio.
