@abbraxxes We actively test various approaches to better gauge whether or not we're playing to an empty room.
Upgrading allows you to listen uninterrupted for longer periods of time. Pandora Plus subscribers have longer timeout periods than free listeners, and Pandora Premium subscribers have longer timeout periods than Pandora Plus subscribers. While you will experience fewer timeouts, the timeout policy does not go away.
While Pandora Premium subscribers benefit from our longest period of uninterrupted listening, the only way to eliminate timeouts completely is by subscribing to Pandora for Business. This option is not an ideal solution for home use, as it involves a higher subscription fee that includes music licensing costs and must be played through special equipment.
If that still interests you, you can get more information about Pandora for Business through our partners at Mood Media.
For now, we've passed your thoughts along to our product team. We will keep them in mind as we re-evaluate the timeout policy.
Hope this helps!
