Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Yes, Thumbprint Radio is playing songs from a station I created based on Miles Davis and various related artists including John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Dave Brubeck, art Art Blakey. I have never given a Thumbs Up to any songs in that station. I can't off the top of my head give you track names as it usually happens in the car and I immediately hit skip. For the same reason, giving a Thumbs Down is inconvenient in the car. Furthermore, once it starts to play a song from that Station, the next several songs - sometimes as many as 10 - will also be from that station, requiring me to skip through all of them.  By the way, I see that several other people have both of these same complaints, and have for several years. What I don't see is any acknowledgement from Pandora that it considers these complaints to be issues worth addressing? Anyway, I will try playing Thumbprint Radio on the Desktop App (assuming that will ever work properly...) and see if I can catch some titles for you, although I'm not sure it's a relevant detail.  Honestly, in its current state Thumbprint Radio is not fit for purpose, when it ought to be the most distinctive feature of Pandora. Is there any progress on this?  1. Like everybody else, I get the same small number of songs on loop 2. Like many others, I get songs that I never thumbed up and even from stations with no thumbs up while not hearing songs I did give a Thumbs Up 3. Like others, I don't see any way to get to "backstage" (whatever that is) and remove Thumbs Up in Thumbprint Radio itself - the "i" mentioned earlier in the thread simply does not exist, nor any replacement 4. Like many others, I am tired of hearing that "our engineering team will try to reproduce it". Literally anybody listening to Thumbprint Radio for an hour or so can "reproduce it". Do your engineering team not use your own product? I know this is going to sound a bit pompous, but anyway: I worked in enterprise software for 40 years, 20 of those as a product manager. And it seems to me that the Pandora product team does not understand what its customers want or expect from Thumbprint Radio. If you find yourself starting to type "well, that's not how Thumbprint Radio is designed to work", please stop, because that's the issue. The way Thumbprint Radio is designed to work is clearly not solving the need that customers have - and have expressed very clearly, over and over, for several years. If this were my product to manage, I would go back to the design board, gather all the feedback already available, and redesign the features, functions, and algorithm of Thumbprint Radio around what people have clearly said they want.  Moderator Edit: Merged comments ...

With the greatest possible respect, I seriously suggest that Pandora rolls back all code changes to the Desktop app since, say, August 2025. And then start rolling in fixes and enhancements only after thoroughly validating their quality and ensuring that they don't break regression tests.  Maybe then the app will be back to some acceptable level of quality.  ...

1. This is only on the desktop app. Also, other devices on my network (Android phone, Roku TV) work fine.  2. I can try, I don't know how it will help you. It is literally just an error bar at the top of the screen saying something completely unhelpful like "Oops! Something went wrong!". And it is exactly the same problem many, many other people have reported (and who have received the same unhelpful troubleshooting tips). I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have tried resetting data (again), let's see how long it takes for the problems to inevitably return.  But here's the thing: this is clearly a very widespread and very long running problem. The answer cannot be for everybody here to be constantly resetting the app data or reinstalling.  At what point will Pandora say "Yes, we have a problem, the quality on the Windows desktop app is really poor, it is broken in very, very basic ways, and we are committed to fixing it"? Or does Pandora think this level of quality is acceptable? I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking seriously of canceling my subscription and moving over to Spotify.    ... View more
