We've noticed some issues that may be affecting your ability to Search on Pandora. We are working to address the problem. Thanks for your patience. Check here for updates.
Create a station from one favorite artists. I then add 250 other favorite artists to that station. Put that station in "Deep Cuts", "Discover or "Artist Only" mode depending on your desire for the day. Pandora will shuffle among those seed artists and their respective genres ( I range from Pitbull to Bach). This was a workaround to the fact that shuffle stations ignores each station's mode. As it happens it is much easier to change from "Deep Cuts" to "Discover" since you only have to change that in one place and not 250 places. Beware of one issue. you must not thumb up or thumb down any songs. If you do that will bias the song statistics so badly that you will completely lose some genres or have the playlist dominated by only a few. I made the mistake of doing many thumbs. When I noticed the problem, I removed all the thumbs and it was back to a nice random behavior. Enjoy!

I wonder if there is a long (many hours) delay before a many artist shared station fully transfers. In earlier posts about this problem I have included pictures right after I shared showing only one artist. If you did not change anything and I did not change anything it makes me suspect that there must have been a delay before all the other artists arrived on the #-z station on medove's account. (Unless the techs did something and did not tell you about it).

My existing station named "#-z Radio" has always been running in discovery mode for extra variety. Between last night and today it switched to "My Station" mode on both IOS and browser. Neither IOS nor browser listed "discovery" as a mode choice today. They only listed "My Station", "Crowd Faves", "Deep Cuts", "Newly Released" or "Artist Only".
Why was "Discovery" mode removed???
mod edit: changed title for clarity

Hi Alyssa, I replied to your message with evidence of the "cannot share stations bug". It has been a couple of week since then. Are you still investigating this? Web

This problem has been known since 2019. They are apparently not giving it any attention. My fix above of a single station with 250 artists is a workaround. However, it turns out if you try to share a multi-artist station with others they only receive a station with a single artist. I have a thread on that problem that is active at the moment. No fix for that one yet.

Hi, I just shared my #-z radio with Monica's phone via a message. The station now appears on her phone. My version says "station created from" numerous artists. Her version says "station created from 3 doors down" only. That is an incorrect sharing of the station. Web

Hi,
Transmitting account (webdove0) and receiving account (medove) are both public.
I have tried emailing a link, sending a message and opening the sending accounts profile and playing the station (#-1 Radio).
In all cases the station that is played on the receiving account has only one artist whereas the station on the sending account has hundreds.
Please help

I am hoping that Alyssa will allow me to repost my reply on the feature request thread here as well, since I believe it will be of interest to anyone that finds this thread as well. I found a short term solution. I created a new station from one of my artists. I then added my other 250 artists to that station. I renamed the station "A-Z". I then put that station in "Deep Cuts" mode. From what I can tell it picks one of the stations artists and plays 4-5 deep cuts based on that artist, then in picks another artist and does the same. That is more or less what I expected from putting all my individual artist stations into Deep Cuts mode (which does not yet work when shuffling). The differences are that it plays a few songs from each artist choice rather than just one and it is much easier to change from "Deep Cuts" to "Discover" since you only have to change that in one place and not 250 places.
