That's cool.  Glad to hear that you also prefer the Pandora experience.  I'm kind of a music addict.  Love to explore and just become immersed in the music and the artistry of audio engineering which can preserve and reproduce an intricate soundscape.  It can be so moving and evocative. I'm a nerd lol. ... View more

Yes, I really like the Pandora windows app.  Big, clean, graphical user interface, and a simple search feature. Might just be my imagination, but it also seems like the app is higher resolution sound than the browser version. I've tried 4 different music streaming services but came back to Pandora because of the user interface and the auto play feature that lets you stream based on the first song you play.  No one else has that exact feature.  The other services have playlists and stations, but not the clever single song seeding feature of Pandora.  Only thing I would request of Pandora would be higher bitrate.  I hope they never change the user interface because it's great, even better than Amazon Music's interface (which is kind of awkward). ...

Yes, I think it's something in the latest Windows update.  I don't think the Pandora app has been revised in quite a while.  Microsoft and lots of tech companies are scrambling to fix recently disclosed security vulnerabilities.  So maybe that's an issue.  Also, it's in Microsoft's best interest to make Windows 10 obsolete so people will have to switch over to Windows 11 and likely have buy a new computer too.  I suspect more and more apps and services will start to degrade so users will have no choice but transition to Win 11.  I've been considering setting up a Linux PC to get out of the Microsoft dictatorship. ...

Tried all the troubleshooting steps multiple times. Completely reinstalled windows and the app. Verified broadband and connected directly with ethernet cable. Disabled firewall. I am using the Windows desktop app for Pandora installed 12/18/2021. Here is details of my PC: Dell Optiplex 3010, Processor Intel Core i5-3470 at 3.2Ghz, Ram 6GB, 64 bit operating system.

I'm having the exact same problem, win 10 Dell optiplex 3010.  Has been working fine for 2 years until this week.  I even did a factory reset, cleared all data and reinstalled windows.  My theory is that the latest windows update is causing a bug in the pandora desktop app.  I'm guessing thousands of people are having this problem. Any suggestions on this?  If I request a song with autoplay enabled the next song will have skips in it or stop playing and go to the next song which will also have skips and may stop completely.  Stations and albums don't seem to have this problem.  Seems to be something with auto play (the crossed arrows in the bottom bar).  No problem streaming through Edge browser and things like youtube and amazon prime video work fine. Windows 10 updated about a week ago so I'm suspicious about a bug.  I've been using the desktop app since it came out (couple years?) without any problems until this week.  Here's what I've tried so far: restarted computer, disconnected and restarted modem and router, checked internet speed, removed then reinstalled the app.  Did fresh (factory reset) Windows install with all data cleared, reinstalled app.  Also tried turning off the firewall and disconnected everything else off the network and using an ethernet cable not wireless.  None of this helped.  There's really nothing left to try so thinking it must be something to do with latest Windows 10 update.
