I'll add one more twist to this issue. I can listen for HOURS on my mobile app, and not only will I never hear the same song twice, I usually won't even hear from the artist twice. But when I'm listening on a desktop from the browser, I will FREQUENTLY hear from only a few artists, and it's usually the same song or two from that artist. For example, yesterday on my desktop I heard Shiver by Coldplay twice, and I've heard Knights of Cydonia by Muse like 7 or 8 times this week; Muse has HUNDREDS of songs, why haven't I heard any other ones? I know there have been a lot of issues with the shuffle feature recently, and I'm wondering if they haven't all been fixed yet?

I'd like to add my issue to this thread, I seem to be having the same trouble. When I logged in to my computer this morning, I was only able to play one station. When I refreshed the page, the player doesn't work at all now. I have also submitted a support ticket. I would like to add that @AdamPandora informed me yesterday that the repeating station issue on Shuffle mode had been hot-fixed, and it does seem to be working much better on the mobile app, however now we are having this issue on the browser player.

The number has gone up to 50, just like @pshift2 has been saying.

I see the thread has been marked as Solved, does that mean no one is even looking at it anymore? @AdamPandora

Saavedro88 · ‎04-19-2021

Is anyone else still having problems? It still seems like I keep hearing the same songs and stations every day. I don't know how picky I'm allowed to be anymore though. I just want things to be the way they were.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-16-2021

Agreed man. It all really started going downhill for me when stations based on artists would never actually ever play that artist, maybe around last fall? Beginning of Winter? And it's been nothing but other dumb issues for me ever since. Now, I'm hearing songs be repeated more than I ever have before. It's certainly tiresome. I used to be dedicated to Pandora, I used to love that I could count on hearing something that I had never heard before, but that hasn't happened in a very long time...

Saavedro88 · ‎04-16-2021

I was LITERALLY just about to come here to say that I just heard Indica Badu for the second time today. 😓 I haven't been able to keep track today but I haven't felt like we're reaching our full potential yet...

Saavedro88 · ‎04-15-2021

Yeah, I gotta say, I've been hearing an awful lot of a few bands in particular today. Like way more than I normally would. I haven't actually been keeping track because I've been very busy today, but when I started typing this message, Kodaline was playing for AT LEAST the 5th time today, and as I'm typing right now Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife" is playing for the third time today.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-15-2021

Thanks for the tip, my phone actually ended up doing an update yesterday afternoon, the restart seems to have helped to get the shuffle back to perfectly normal. Thank you for all your help and patience, @AdamPandora !

Saavedro88 · ‎04-14-2021

Great news! When should we start to see this update roll out?

Saavedro88 · ‎04-13-2021

The same 20 stations will play in the same order for the entire session, however if I start a new session (such as restarting my computer, or quitting and relaunching the app) I will get a new set of 20 stations that will then continue to play in order.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-13-2021

Adam, you didn't specifically ask me, but I will offer up my comment as well, simply to say that I'm having almost the exact same result as @pshift2 when he says: " As to the other part of your question - with each listening session, it appeared to be a different set of stations that would repeat. It wasn't always the same stations. So, it did seem that shuffle was working, in that it would randomly pick stations, but then at some point, it would get "stuck" and only shuffle thru those 5 or 6 (or, in the instance of yesterday, 20) stations." If you deem it necessary, I can list the 20 stations that have been repeating all day today, but the list seems to be at least mostly different from day to day.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-13-2021

My issue isn't that severe, but I'm still only getting 20 stations in my "Shuffle All." And I haven't heard from support for a while either.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-08-2021

I've been listening all day so far, and at first I thought I was just being overly analytical, but I've definitely confirmed it: I'm still getting repeated stations. It's playing the same 20 stations over and over, but that's better than it has been for a long time, so at this point, I'll take it. I do hope they get the issue actually resolved soon though.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-08-2021

I've been listening since my alarm went off this morning, so far no noticeable repeats!! I HAVE MISSED PANDORA SO MUCH!

Saavedro88 · ‎04-07-2021

I couldn't have put this into better words if I had tried. Pandora's "Shuffle all" has been such a huge part of my life for so many years. I'd never have realized how much I missed it if they hadn't ripped it away from me, lol.

Saavedro88 · ‎04-07-2021

Well, seems like they're definitely working on it. This morning I'm getting TEN stations in my shuffle instead of the five that I've had for the past couple weeks.

Saavedro88 · ‎03-29-2021

Same dude. Very frustrating.

Saavedro88 · ‎03-25-2021

Shuffle Mode only plays 5 different artists This has happened to me on two different devices so far this morning. When my alarm went off on my phone this morning (which is set to Shuffle all stations), it only cycled between Drive-By Truckers, Anderson Paak, Beck, Middle Kids and Wolfmother. Now that I'm at work, I'm listening on my PC, and it's only giving me The Fratellis, Paramore, Copeland, Mates of State and Blink-182. I'm paying for a Premium subscription, I should definitely be getting more variety than this. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? Do I need to reset something? I've been running into a lot of different, very frustrating issues with Pandora recently, I'm honestly beginning to question whether or not it's still worth it.
