@Betsy92758, here are some steps for you to try... If your Pandora station is suddenly stopping after one or two songs, here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot: 🔧 Quick Fixes to Try Check Your Internet Connection. A weak or unstable connection can cause playback to stop. Try switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data or restarting your router. Clear Cache and Data (App or Browser) On Mobile App: Go to your device settings > Apps > Pandora > Storage > Clear Cache (and possibly Clear Data). On Browser: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, then restart it. Update the App or Browser. Make sure you’re using the latest version of the Pandora app or your browser. Disable Battery Optimization (Mobile). On Android, battery-saving settings can interfere with background playback. Check your phone’s settings and exclude Pandora from battery optimization. Log Out and Back In. Sometimes, a fresh login can reset any session issues. Try a Different Device or Browser. This can help determine if the issue is device-specific. Check for Outage. Occasionally, Pandora may be experiencing service issues. You can check their social media for updates. If none of these work, I’d be happy to help you dig deeper. Are you using Pandora on a phone, computer, or another device? These steps have helped before; hopefully, they will for you. Take care and GOD bless... ... View more

@cjbricks, I know how you feel. I have had similar issues in the past, as well as other Pandora users. The following steps have helped me and others, so possibly they will for you. Here's a consolidated list of steps that have helped others resolve or reduce the issue: 🛠️ Fixes You Can Try 1. Clear Cache and Cookies In Chrome or Edge: Go to Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data. Clear cached images/files and cookies, then restart the browser. 2. Disable Hardware Acceleration In Chrome: Settings → System → Turn off “Use hardware acceleration when available.” This has helped some users with audio playback issues. 3. Try Incognito or Private Mode Open Pandora in an incognito/private window. This bypasses extensions and cached data that might interfere. 4. Check Audio Drivers Make sure your sound drivers are up to date. You can do this via Device Manager → Sound, video and game controllers → Right-click your audio device → Update driver. 5. Switch Browsers Temporarily Some users report better stability in Firefox or Opera when Pandora glitches in Chrome or Edge. 6. Use Pandora Desktop App If you're using the web version, try downloading the Pandora Desktop App; it sometimes handles playback better. 7. Disable Extensions Ad blockers, privacy extensions, or audio-related plugins can interfere. Try disabling them or whitelisting Pandora. 8. Check Network Stability Even if your internet seems fine, Pandora is sensitive to brief drops. Try a wired connection or restart your router. 🧠 What Might Be Going On Recent Pandora Updates: Many users started seeing this issue around July 2025 after a backend update. Browser Compatibility: Pandora may be tweaking how it handles audio in different browsers. Session Timeouts: If the station plays for a while and then stops, it could be a session or token expiration issue. If none of these work, I recommend reaching out directly to Pandora Support and referencing the error message and your setup. You’re not alone in this — their community forums are full of similar reports. Wish you the best. Take care and GOD bless.  ... View more

Good Thursday morning, dear friend... I have had some very near and dear people in my life that struggled with addiction...And this is what I found to be true, because I myself struggled with alcohol for a while, but thanks be to GOD, I have not had any alcoholic drink for 17 years this December. So if you are one of those who are struggling, you are not alone, my friend... 🎭 “The scariest thing isn’t sobriety—it’s forgetting who you are.” Sobriety is often portrayed as a daunting mountain to climb—full of discomfort, vulnerability, and emotional reckoning. But what’s truly terrifying isn’t the climb… It’s the erosion of identity that happens when we’re under the influence.  Loss of self-awareness: When substances cloud the mind, we lose touch with our values, our dreams, and even our sense of humor. The person we once were becomes a stranger. Even those we love become strangers to us.  Emotional numbness: Instead of feeling joy, sorrow, or connection, everything gets dulled. We stop recognizing our own reactions, and that emotional disconnection can feel like a haunting. Broken reflections: Looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back—that’s a horror story no ghost could rival. Missed moments: Under the influence, we often miss the very memories that define us—birthdays, conversations, creative sparks. Sobriety isn’t just clarity; it’s reclaiming those moments. False personas: Sometimes, we adopt a version of ourselves that’s performative or reactive, shaped by the substance rather than authenticity. That mask can be hard to remove. In contrast, sobriety—even on its hardest days—offers the chance to remember. To reconnect. To rebuild. It’s not just about abstaining; it’s about rediscovering the person you were always meant to be. Fighting to stay sober is the greatest battle you will ever face, but in the end, you will start recognizing the person you have always been, a fighter that is living a life worth living because you have something to offer in this world. Addiction steals your self-worth and true identity. Don't let it, fight it. Have a blessed day, friend. Take care and GOD bless.  ... View more

Good Friday night, dear friend...I came across these very funny husband and wife jokes...I hope you laugh just as much as they made me laugh... 1.) “I asked my wife what she wanted for her birthday.

@TOOLIE634, after giving it some thought, this is my opinion of the most defined genre of music. 🎸Rock Music: A Genre That Shaped Generations Rock music is one of the most influential and enduring genres in modern history. Born in the 1950s from a fusion of blues, country, and rhythm and blues, it quickly evolved into a cultural force that defined youth rebellion, artistic innovation, and social change. 🔥Key Characteristics Electric guitars with distortion and powerful riffs Strong backbeat driven by drums and bass Expressive vocals ranging from melodic to raw and gritty Themes of freedom, love, angst, and revolution 🎤Iconic Subgenres Classic Rock: Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Queen Punk Rock: The Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash Alternative Rock: Radiohead, Nirvana, R.E.M. Progressive Rock: Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes Hard Rock & Metal: AC/DC, Metallica, Black Sabbath Southern Rock : Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Allman Brothers Band, Molly Hatchet, and the Black Crowes. 🌍Cultural Impact Fueled counterculture movements in the '60s and '70s Became the soundtrack of political protest and personal liberation Influenced fashion, film, and visual art Continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans all over the world. Rock isn’t just music—it’s attitude, identity, and history. Whether you’re headbanging to metal or vibing with indie rock, it’s a genre that offers something for every mood and mindset. P.S. The legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair happened from August 15 to 18, 1969, on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York, about 60 miles southwest of the town of Woodstock. It was billed as “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music” and became a defining moment of 1960s counterculture. Without Rock music Woodstock would not be a huge part of our music history. Have a blessed day, take care and GOD bless.      ... View more

@TannerPandora, good morning friend...This is an easy one for me...I grew up (some of my younger childhood) on my grandparents' dairy farm. Listening to country music was just as natural as putting your pants on before leaving for barn chores. The two most famous country songs that are near and dear to me are my dad's favorite song He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones. And my mom's favorite country song and country artist is Coal Miner's Daughter by the Queen of country, Miss Loretta Lynn. I myself don't have a favorite country song; I just like country music as a whole genre.  Take care and GOD bless. ... View more

@Ballapusta, try some of these steps... Try disabling IPv6 in your Samsung TV’s network settings—many users report this resolves Pandora’s no-sound issue. Also, rebooting the TV and reinstalling the app may help.
