Greetings, First-time community user here. I've been piloting a 60-day Pandora Premium subscription (my trial period ends June 24), but I've got some feedback I'd like to address before I jump into the annual plan: 1. How to flag/report library errors: It is my understanding that Pandora does not currently have a way to report when this happens besides starting a new message in the Community (which is what I think I'm doing right here). I am trying to create a Pedro the Lion radio station that includes side projects: Overseas, Headphones, and David Bazan. The band Overseas, who only released one self-titled album in 2013 (https://pandora.app.link/bdy6S5wHmAb), are lumped together with several other bands with the same name that have been mistagged as the same band. The band Headphones shares the same predicament as they only released one self-titled album in 2005 (https://pandora.app.link/UswAjXBImAb), but there is another Headphones (2013 album) band attached to them that shouldn't be. Is there a way to separate them from the other unrelated bands so I can create a radio station of only Pedro the Lion/David Bazan related side projects? 2. Understanding Pandora Radio - Artist Only mode algorithm: Last night, I was listening to The Afghan Whigs radio when it played the song "66" from the 1965 album, then 2 different songs, then song "66" from the same 1965 album again. How/why does this happen? Firstly, does the radio algorithm shuffle, choose random, or a mixture of Afghan Whigs songs to play? Secondly, do those songs come from their Top Songs category or their entire Releases category, or does the algorithm include a combination of x random songs from Top Songs category + x shuffled songs from Releases category? I realize this is a technical question and has multiple components. Just trying to understand how it works. Song "66" is great, but it shouldn't repeat as frequently as it did (with only 2 other songs in between the repeat). Also, I imagine if I've thumbs-upped songs, that will also impact Pandora's algorithm, so I'm wondering: If I wanted more of a shuffle experience than random with repeats, maybe I should've never used the thumbs up? Respectfully, Jehouash
