I'm on premium. Anyway to open pandora without it starting music? sometimes i just want to open it and browse a bit before i select something. Seems to happen on every application (web/android/auto)
I don't want the music to start playing right away when I open the app. Can you put an option in settings to turn it off. Countless of time I would open the app before I plug in my earbuds and there would be an explicit.
Startup options generally are missing from Pandora. I agree that "play music on startup" should be one option.
Another option that would help with usability and even safety while using the app in a (legal) device while driving would be the ability to select which screen is opened on startup. In my case, having the "Stations" page open instead of the current "update" page would be very helpful. I pay for Premium, and I feel like I'm being forced to skip past ads, often at a very inconvenient moment.
I sure hope this 14 month old basic issue gets addressed ever, because I certainly would like it if my internet radio app didn't autoplay like some kid's tumblr page
I came to this forum to find a solution to the "auto play on launch" problem, but all I found instead is a company that ignores its best customers for years on end with false hope and never addressing this issue. This makes me believe there is some money motive behind the design, and if there are any pandora execs reading this, I'm going to give you some unsolicited advice: listen to your customers and design around their best interest, or else they will not remain customers and your whole idea to maximize profit margins by keeping a feature that your customers don't want is easily perceived by a customer as a company that does not have their back, so why do business here. I'm going to migrate to another provider. If you ever decide to get off your asses and fix this let me know.

Why hasn't Pandora fixed this yet!?Please make an option available to stop music from playing when app is launched. There's no reason the music has to start when you open the app. Thank you Pandora team!
