now it is letting me upload an image
Here's another one, from a little while ago. Still listening to my own custom Classical station with no special modes, this one was 11:05 pm, 2/11/23. This one was Sophisticated Lady by Andrew Hill. Again, two screenshots are attached of it playing and then of me having given it the thumbs down. -Matt
I see my original response to you is reflected in this conversation, but subsequently replied by e-mail with several other examples that hit over the following day and I don't see any of those here. I will fill those in directly in this website in just a little while.

As you can see in the attached screenshots, it's the Andrea Pozza Trio, These Foolish Things, Saturday, February 11, 2:03 PM, in my own created classical station not in any particular mode, just normal. I have attached two screenshots, one while it was playing and one after I gave it the thumbs down. I should point out that this particular track is jazzy solo piano that is not quite as obviously jazz as when it usually happens, when it's absolute main stream typical jazz combo music or someone obvious like Oscar Peterson, but I will continue to send these as they occur.
Here's a slightly edited compilation of all of the reports over the weekend that were done via e-mail, of which only the first one registered here. There are 6 of them listed here in chronological order. I attached the screenshots in pairs, before and after thumbing down, in my original messages, but this website is not allowing me to insert an image here; it says I do not have permission to upload images. How can I get them to you?
Example #1: I have not listen to that station much recently, but I've been listening this afternoon and it did not take long for the problem to occur. As you can see in the attached screenshots, it's the Andrea Pozza Trio, These Foolish Things, Saturday, February 11, 2:03 PM, in my own created classical station not in any particular mode, just normal. I have attached two screenshots, one while it was playing and one after I gave it the thumbs down. I should point out that this particular track is jazzy solo piano that is not quite as obviously jazz as when it usually happens, when it's absolute main stream typical jazz combo music or someone obvious like Oscar Peterson, but I will continue to send these as they occur.
Example #2: Here's another one, from a little while ago. Still listening to my own custom Classical station with no special modes, this one was 11:05 pm, 2/11/23. This one was Sophisticated Lady by Andrew Hill. Again, two screenshots are attached of it playing and then of me having given it the thumbs down.
Example #3: Here's another one that just occurred; this one is about as obviously jazz as one can imagine. Still my own custom Classical station in no special mode, 1:42 pm (these are all PST), 2/12/23, Steve Allee Trio, Somewhere. Again, screenshots are attached of when it started playing and after I thumbed it down.
Example #4: Another one, this time a jazz guitar combo. I GUESS it could be mistaken for something a tiny bit similar to classical guitar, but it's a real stretch! It's Joe Pass, whom Wikipedia describes as "...was an American jazz guitarist. Pass is well known for his work stemming from numerous collaborations with pianist Oscar Peterson and vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, and is often esteemed as one of the most notable jazz guitarists of the 20th century." Body And Soul is the title. 2/12/23, 6:41 pm PST, my Classical station with no special modes, two screenshots attached.
Example #5: aaaaaand again, this time it's Take Five from Dave Brubeck, one of the most recognizable jazz hits in history, playing on my Classical station with no special modes, 2/12/23, 7:06 pm PST. Screen shots attached. I think I can probably stop now; the problem has been very clearly and obviously demonstrated. What is wrong and how can it be fixed?
Example #6: I know I said I was finished, but this one came up so soon after the last one that I'm including it also, and here's the problem: it's happening more and more often. The more I thumb-down jazz tracks in my classical station, the more jazz tracks the station tries to play. It's backwards. This is Bill Charlap Trio, Dream, an obvious jazz combo track. 2/12/23, 7:32 pm PST, classical station with no special mode, screen shots attached again. (This is really getting ridiculous.)
(And I actually got another one after that but decided to stop submitted them at that point.)
