I am thinking of upgrading to a paid Pandora subscription, but I have real problems with your programming. I like to mostly listen to Classical Music, but your programming really is very poor! In several instances I have heard the same composition three times in a row. Sometimes I have heard the same composition by the same composer and artist 2 times in one hour. And I don't know how many times I have heard 4 or 5 selections by the same composer, in a row. Ask any radio station's Music Director, and they will tell you that is BAD PROGRAMMING! I was a music director for many years. It is very frustrating to hear such poor programming parctices! Also, it is very disturbing to be listening to a gentle rendition of a classical selection, and then be shook awake by a commercial blasting away at 2 to 3 times the decibel level of the music! That is just unforgiveable Enginering and Production practice. I realize Pandorra doesn't want to hear from your listeners, or you would provide easier contact information. But if you want me to pay for a subscription, you'll need to address these issues. Moderator Edit: Changed title for clarity

Hi Eric, I am thinking of upgrading to a paid Pandora subscription, but I have real problems with their programming. I like to listen mostly to Classical Music, but their programming really **ahem**! In several instances I have heard the same composition three times in a row. Sometimes I have heard the same composition by the same artist 2 times in one hour. And I don't know how many times I have heard 4 or 5 selections by the same composer, in a row. Ask any radio station's Music Director, and they will tell you that is BAD PROGRAMMING! I was a music director for many years. It is very frustrating to hear such poor programming parctices! Also, it is very disturbing to be listening to a gentle rendition of a classical selection, and they be shook awake by a commercial blasting away at 2 to 3 times the decibel level of the music! That is just unforgiveable Enginering and Production practice. I realize Pandorra doesn't want to hear from their listeners, or they would provide good contact information. So I have no other way to express my opinions that through this forum. But if they want me to pay for a subscription, they'll need to address these issues. Thanks, Erick, for letting me bend your ear. I hope you have some success at passing this along to the powers that be. Tom W. Trw6142
