I love that Pandora replies with a boilerplate response, saying they have done nothing wrong and I should just pick another station. (which they reserve the right to screw up in the future)  Much better music apps out there that are free. Pandora no longer gets my money after being a pro subscriber for years. Adios.  ...

I think you're misunderstanding. I have been listening to this station for over 2 years and it was fine. Only in the past 3 months has this issue begun where the mode options have disappeared completely.  Are you telling me that Pandora randomly changed the station from beach music to hip hop and rap? And take away the options to change modes? Really? If that's the case then Pandora seems useless and obsolete.  I can't imagine that one day the station just decided to change it's algorithm and play random music while taking away my options. Clearly this is an issue with Pandora as it is happening on 4 different devices.  Is there anyone else there to talk to?  ... View more

I have been having the same issue with my "Laid Back Beach music" for months now. It's the only station that it happens on and I haven't done any thumbing down for a while. It also has been playing music totally off and not anywhere close to beach music; graphic rap or hip hop, Tom Petty (?!?!) or other random songs that clearly aren't part of the genre. I used to just switch it to deep tracks or something and then back to "my station" to solve the problem. Now that the options are gone I can't even do that. I deleted the station and started it again but nothing has worked. The next step is getting rid of Pandora completely as this is a long standing issue. Just decided to thumb down again since clearly nothing is working. Had to thumb down 11 times until a song that was applicable actually played then the next song went right back to the **ahem** it's been playing . I'm not paying for Pandora to be annoyed. What a pain.    For reference, It's not just one device as it happens from the Pandora app (iphone) , my Macbook or my PC at work. I haven't been able to change the mode for over 3 months now.    ...
