Still working there Adam?  I've now found an entire playlist on which Pandora has replaced every single song! (Sample screenshot attached) It's a shame because (as usual) I spent a lot of time creating and 'curating' the list.  Not only are there substandard/re-recorded/demo/live versions substituted, but even the ones whose names haven't changed have also been replaced.  The upshot: yet another playlist has been rendered completely useless. As I've said before, it's mystifying why Pandora goes so far out of its way to alienate its paying customers, especially in instances like these where the music is fairly unpopular and hence should not be costly for Pandora to stream in the first place.  Any thoughts?     ...

Your graphic shows a live version I've never even seen before!  The latest issue is that live versions are replacing my selected studio versions without being indicated as such.  Anyway, I've already replaced the versions as you instruct, and a day later it's still sticking.  So I'm moving on to the next example: Santana's "Black Magic Woman" -- same deal here except that in this case the live version which Pandora chose to replace the studio version on my playlist was in fact marked as such.  That does help to identify what's going on, if not why. Part of the problem is that I'm able to add tracks which seem to be properly included in my playlist, but if I come back days or weeks later I find that dozens of tracks have been replaced.  Not only is it a laborious task to search and replace the tracks one-by-one, but the new additions end up situated at the end of the playlist rather than in their original sequence.  This amplifies the labor factor considerably, and it's why I just quit listening to that playlist entirely.  I'm sort of afraid to look at others--there's only so much time in a day.  Thanks for your assistance.     ...

Still there?  I've returned to this issue today.  It's become more complicated.  Now live versions are replacing my selected studio versions without being indicated as such.   If you can see my 'Shlock Rock" playlist the Allman Brothers' "Ramblin' Man" is such an example.  It's displayed as a studio cut but it's actually an extended live version if you listen to it.  Can you provide any insight into this new angle?  Thanks   PS: In relation to the original issue, I've noticed that songs generally aren't replaced with live versions until I've situated them within the playlist.  Unfortunately this makes for additional work twice: once to locate and then situate them wherever; then again when they need to be replaced. Advice welcome as always. ... View more

Okay thanks. Attached is a SS of the 'before' screen for a playlist segment.  Each of the 'live' tracks was previously a 'studio' version. I'll now replace these and see what happens over the next few days.  Then I'll try it with a jazz playlist which is frankly more important to me.  Thanks again for your help--I'd really like to get this issue resolved.   ...

Actually it's been nearly a month since the original complaint.  Now songs in all of my playlists are being removed and replaced--not just with inferior versions but with entirely different songs.  For example, Anita O'Day's "Stompin' at the Savoy" on my playlist entitled "Old-timey Jazz" has been replaced with the vastly inferior "Bolero at the Savoy" (previously unknown to me) and Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" has been replaced with a rehearsal version.  Etc etc etc.    ...

Any update?  It's been ten days now.  Thanks ... View more

Hi again--there's too much personal information in the message and the screenshot for me to post them publicly.  Can you recommend a workaround? Thanks ... View more

Thanks for your prompt response. Have sent you a DM w/screenshot. I would very much like to retain control over my Premium playlists. ... View more

If Pandora is going to re-edit our playlists for us, that makes them useless.  Right now about 40% of the songs in my rock music playlist have been replaced with really horrible live versions. They are unlistenable.  So what's the point of a playlist?  Pandora 1) makes them hard to edit yourself and then 2) edits them whether you want them to or not.  I despise live versions, and now my playlists are useless.  If word gets out that Pandora is doing this, it'll be even harder to attract/retain subscribers.  To say that I'm dismayed is an understatement.  Just as with removing the "I'm tired of this track" functionality for Premium subscribers, Pandora keeps de-contenting the service  for its best customers.  That's a strange business model to say the least. ...

Quote: "Other listeners would love to have this feature with Premium on mobile devices. If you'd like to see this option as well, we do have an existing feature request thread" As has been explained numerous times in this thread, we're not dreaming up new features we'd enjoy on Pandora. We're trying to get back what we already had. It's not a "feature we'd love to have" it's a feature we ALWAYS HAD until we paid up for Premium tier. It would be different if we were warned when upgrading that we'd be losing basic features. ... View more

Quote: "Looks like you're using Pandora Premium on your mobile device. "This feature is available on both web and mobile for Free and Pandora Plus listeners. This isn't currently available for Pandora Premium subscribers." I just upgraded from Pandora Plus to Pandora Premium and have been searching (and following directions) for the last two hours to try and figure out why this critical feature had vanished from my app.  If I'd known I'd have to forego it I doubt I'd have signed up for the upgrade. Normally when you pay extra for a higher service tier you are able to enjoy more and better features, not fewer.  Sort of mystified here.  ... View more
