Agree with everyone here! This is very frustrating indeed. I have been a Pandora member for MANY years, on just the Plus plan, and was VERY happy with it. Listened to it all day on my Mac, on Safari, desktop. Or on my iPad app (it was a good friend during months of chemotherapy). I created my own stations, based on favorite artists, and found some nice stations that others had created. Over years and years, I curated via thumbs up and down, and had some very nice mixes that I listened to all day. Again: mostly on my desktop, Mac, via Safari. Then about a month or two back, my favorite station started playing music that did not fit my profile. Not only that, but my main artist would get one cut or two, then suddenly I could not get ANY from that artist. The entire station, one that I created, was haywire, and I kept having to stop and skip, and skip, until I just quit. HORRIBLE. When I complained, you all talked me into switching to the more expensive Premium. Not only is the problem not fixed, and I am still getting horrible selections on my station, but while I am able to now play an album by my artist, THAT'S IT. No more, and instead, these weird selections that I dislike. And now, I am having the sound cutting out, like people here are describing. I see from the sound icon that it thinks it's playing, but there is no sound. If I sit here and do nothing, after about 10 minutes, I'll get a random 3 to 5 second bit of music, then gone again for 10 to 15 minutes. This is happening both on albums (of the artist that I created, so I could at least listen sometimes), as well as publicly and personally created stations. There is nothing wrong with my connection (everything else I do is zipping right along). There is nothing wrong with my speakers or my OS or my computer. It's Pandora. And I am very, very frustrated at this point. Especially unhappy that I am paying more for even less, and ready to completely bail (except I really don't care for Spotify). Pandora has been important to me in stress management. Now it is a stressor. Very unhappy.
