@MusicFan81 If your issue is not related to the Desktop app, this is not the right post to be replying to - you should have created a new post. This post is specific to the desktop app, and my problem is not the same as yours.

Thanks; your initial response to me was marked as a solution today, so I unmarked it.

Why was this marked as the solution? I very clearly stated that these steps did NOT resolve the issue. The issue is unresolved.

Hi Alyssa, Unfortunately neither suggestion resolved the issue. When I first reset the app data, it worked fine for about a day, and then the pausing/buffering issue returned. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and the pausing/buffering issue returned after just a couple of hours. Thanks, Corey

When reaching the forum today, I got a pop-up that you wanted my feedback. This is what your survey looks like, and after clicking the Next button, it just becomes grayed out and nothing happens.

Your Windows app has been having buffering issues for months now - every couple of songs, there's always a point where the playback is interrupted for a couple of seconds so that it can buffer. This has been the case on my old PC, as well as my new one. My internet connection is definitely not the problem - I have over 200Mbps download speed consistently while this problem with your app is occurring. I can play two different videos at once on YouTube, both with 4k quality, without any buffering interruptions whatsoever. The problem is clearly that the Pandora desktop app does not buffer the entire song as soon as it starts playing, and occasionally just doesn't bother to buffer at all, causing these playback interruptions. Please fix this problem. It is rather annoying, and not at all in line with the premium service for which I am paying.

Why is this still not an option, 2 and a half years later? And why was my previous comment deleted as "spam?" It was not spam. It was a comment on how SaaS companies operate, from direct experience. I was a Community admin who handled Ideas that were largely ignored, despite our most loyal customers constantly screaming about them for literally years. Do better, mods. It's okay, even necessary, for negative feedback to exist in your community.

Why is this still not a feature, 2 and a half years later? It's something nearly all other streaming services offer. I ask that question somewhat facetiously - I used to handle Idea requests for a SaaS company, and I know that Dev/Product teams are pushed to work on new money-making features vs. fixing glaring issues with their product. Good old capitalism putting money first, and customers last.
