Pandora was working fine, then for whatever reason when I hit "play" button nothing happens. What's wrong?
Thanx

I'm seeing similar a very similar issue, I've tried numerous "stations" if I select the forward option, the picture for the next song never comes through, but the band and song name does. Yet, it still won't play.
UPDATE: I reset my password, now Pandora will play again.

@danafgrout Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening? Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?
- If you are on a computer, are you listening from:
- A Mac or Windows computer?
- Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?
- If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
- Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
- Can you provide me with a screenshot/screen recording of what you're seeing?
Thanks for your help with this.

I'm having a similar problem. When I load the player on Google Chrome, there is a significant delay. Sometimes it starts automatically (which is what I'd prefer). Sometimes there is a long delay. Sometimes it doesn't start at all. As I remarked in a different post, it feels like server overload. This is a recent problem for the last 3 days (started about 11/11/19) I am a Pandora Plus subscriber.

I am experiencing the very same problem. Try to play an album and only the first song plays. Not anywhere near as savvy as the person who posted this first but need solution or will not pay for subscription once my two-month trial ends.
Look forward to your feedback.

I just upgraded to premium on my account, now the play button won't work. How do I get this fixed?
