You moderators are still the greatest! What does: "You can always recreate that station at anytime using the same seeds and your thumb history and preferences will be restored." mean? What does "thumb history" and "seeds" mean. Thanks for the great work ya all... ken ... View more

I would think you'd be more upset about the navigation issues on your desktop. They fixed the weird color issue some time ago. Make sure everything is up to date. ... View more

The Text/Background color readability issue was fixed a few days ago. Just after that they fixed the Text/Background issue they apparently also altered the Shuffle algorithm. Now the Text/Background issue is back. Why? It was fixed! I give up trying to point out all these issues. I'll mostly just listen from now on... Pandora probably already knows about them anyway. I have also searched for hours trying to find my posts. I can't find many of them, although I'm not familiar enough with the Community navigation/search process. I spent my 48 hr lockout on Spotify trying to build one playlist. Very arduous. Over 20 hrs spent and not over ~50 songs found if that. Thanks... Ken ... View more

On 12/27 Pandora locked my account for for 2 days. My Mac desktop is locked out. My iOS device continues to work. iOS Pandora was on my favorite playlist and I didn't want to change anything lest it ask me for a PW. The songs served up were typical familiar ones with very few first timers. On 12/28 at 6:00 PM I began listening. After 30 minutes I suspected something was different. ~15 songs I had never heard before. The first time played songs continued for 2 hrs. At 8:00 two regularly played songs were served up. Then #3. One added within the last 5 days. Never played. A 1960s mega rock star performing a 1940s classic standard in full 40s regalia. What a treat. I wish I could have collected it then, but Pandora is p*n*sh*ng me. The only thing I can think they are suspicious of is my 20+ hours of listening a day. I did go berserk in my response. But hey I'm addicted and Pandora is to blame. It's been 3 1/2 hours. The one timers are still ~75%. I'll see what happens next. I ended up listening for ~6 hours with a 75% never before heard songs. What's going on? Thanks... Ken ... View more

This appears solved with text readability issue. In the Now Playing page scroll down 1/2 way. All the song information will appear near the top. Thanks... Ken ... View more

Today I noticed that the text identifying the song/artist/album was missing. I thought both colors must be the same. After awhile I had scrolled down and discovered that the text magically appeared and was readable. I've been checking this for about 3-4 hrs. White text is used for dark backgrounds. Black text is used on light backgrounds. I don't believe it. I'll check again now: White text on bright red, very readable. I still don't believe it. Thanks... Ken ++ Mac Desktop - Chrome This is probably an hallucination but all the text on the Now Playing screen is corrected as above? Way too much 420. Way too much. Thanks... Ken ++ Hold the presses! The text is larger! If this is true I'll... Well I'll... I'll cut back on the 420. Thanks... Ken ++ Desktop & iOS: I am very pleased with the updated color readability issue. Both platforms do not display the song length clearly. It's tiny text and a shade of the background color. Very hard to read. This is not urgent. You've done a lot already. Thanks... Ken ++ This was fixed ellegantly and perfectly. I am overflowing with happiness. This was a real pain. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Forever Thank You ❤ Moderator Edit: Format and merged posts   ... View more

The identical text/background colors are a change from yesterday. It appears that Pandora moved the (hope) legible song title/etc to appear after you have scrolled to the bottom of the page. It then appears. New for me. Desktop Mac, Chrome Thanks... Ken ... View more

When iTunes launched I joined. I built many playlists. One, my favorite, was ~1400 songs. I listened to it all the time. After about 1-2 years I noticed songs repeating. It was much much more than coincidence. I lived with it for many years but the repeats were too much. I looked in the playlist and as I scrolled I noticed high play counts (50+). I sorted on play counts. Horror. There were about 150+ songs at the end with zero play counts. The top was populated with ~200 songs with very high play counts. As a workaround I reset the first ~150 songs play counts to zero. A poor workaround. A deal breaker. I quit iTunes. I subscribed to XM radio. I had pressed all the buttons  but one: Open Pandora Station I pressed it and my life changed. I've checked Pandora's shuffle. It appears totally random except for one artist. She has 12 songs and her album has been added to most of my playlists. During Pandora shuffle she is appearing more than expected. Perhaps since she is in most of my playlists she will appear more often.   Thanks... Ken ++ Pandora's Shuffle Is Not Random! When I first started listening to my playlists (Mac desktop, iOS) I traced the skips when on Shuffle. They appeared totally random. Well, not so. I've been hearing repeats when coincidence can't explain it: Number of songs in playlist: 535 Ave duration of song: ~3 mins What is the probability a song will repeat in 4 hrs? My 75 yr brain is far from what it was in school. Well hear it goes. # of songs played in 4 hrs:  80 The chance any song will be played in 4 hrs : 1 in 500 Chance played in 4 hrs 80/500 or 1 in 16. Anyone: Please correct me. I can hear 5-10 repeats during 4 hours. Repeatably. I'm investigating what affect Collected songs play. Repeats include both Collected and non Collected song with a possible bias on Collected songs. But I feel there are other factors influencing the random selection. I would like to know, as I might be able to use that information to help me design my repeats. Thanks... Ken ++ It's wrong. Chance a song will be played in one hour: 20/500. Once every 25 hours. Sorry.   Moderator Edit: Changing title for clarity, format and merged posts ... View more

Pandora has been stagnate since the the launch of iTunes at least ~7 years ago.  This is a travesty because Pandora could easily dominate the market with a little investment.  I quit iTunes because it wouldn’t shuffle songs randomly (see my other posts for proof).  Pandora sadly is biasing the random selection by what appears to be the Collected song list and some other factors I’d love to know about.  ...

I believe this issue was around when iTunes launched ~7 years ago.  Don’t look for a fix this decade.  I quit iTunes because it couldn’t shuffle songs in a playlist (see my other post for proof).  I chose Pandora because it’s so easy to find new music.  Pandora could easily dominate the music streaming platform if it would invest in bug fixes.  Maybe next decade.  Thanks…Ken ...

This needs to be fixed. After many years this should not be an issue. In the Now Playing (and most others) the text describing the artist/song/album just below the picture of the album is unreadable! The text color background is unreadable 35% of the time. Don't ask me for more information. This would indicate you did not read this. This has been going on for many many years. Why? Thanks. Ken ++ Also I build 500+ song playlists on my Mac desktop. This would be extremely difficult on a tiny iOS screen. The desktop access must be preserved. Thanks Again...
