Something I don't yet understand about this forum is how "solutions" are chosen.  I would think that it would be up to the OP of a thread, or perhaps voting by the members, but it seems that a majority of the time the moderator replies are automatically designated as solution.😕  Thankfully, there is(or at least has been) an option to remove that designation when appropriate, but I can't see how to pick one that's clearly the solution & set it as such.  Here's a screenshot of what I would select as solution to the issue in this thread's original post... if it would let me: ...but, as you(hopefully) can see, there's no option for that in the drop-down menu.  I supposed it's possible, though I don't remember, that I already told the system that the reply was NOT the solution(which I would have done at the time I first read it due to the fact it was already designated as solution before I had a chance to implement the advised changes!), but I feel it would be pretty stupid if that made it so that that reply could NEVER be re-designated as solution.  That would be like saying people don't change their minds, which we all can agree would be pure lunacy.   @TannerPandora  or others, do tell? ...

While not a mismatch like most of what seems to be getting reported via this thread, I found some inaccurate info within the description of the artist "Mormon Tabernacle Choir (Holiday)" stating that Brigham Young is the church's founder.  As a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, knowing it was Joseph Smith Jr. that was credited with its founding, I thought it odd that anyone writing an Artist Bio about such a famous group would be so unaware of at least the basics of the church's history.  The average Joe, sure, but someone writing a biography to be displayed publicly?  I'd be embarrassed so figured I'd better report it so it can get fixed.

 This channel has ONE seed and I've NEVER heard a piano solo, or ANY piece of music by him(seed: Josh Groban) in which he was NOT singing! 🤨 Yet this^ kind of thing plays often!   Likewise, this:  Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls?! WHAT piece by the seed artist has ever sounded remotely like this genre? Seriously, can anyone w/ access 2 the Pandora systems explain Y this channel is playing music that's SO different than EVERYthing the seed artist has ever done?? Or perhaps explain what I've missed about how the system is supposed 2 work over the last decade plus using the service...?   Also, is there a good place 2 echo praise 4 the platform? It seems that every time I come here, it's because I've a new gripe 2 share/seek support/solution for. 😑  Pretty depressing. ... View more

@coachart  -chuckles- My first experience here on the forum taught me that they really seem to prioritize their "guidelines" over just about anything else, often completely ignoring inquires within posts that somehow violate them. It is kinda mind blowing, but yea, seems the higher-ups have the company(s) moving in other directions. 😒 I guess what I'm saying is: 'Agreed' & 'Don't hold your breath.' ... View more

I remember when this actually WAS a thing you could do on Pandora(the closest thing you can do now is remember the name/artist of the song you like, navigate to the channel you want it on, add it as a seed, then thumb it down on the channel it's playing on 'incorrectly'). I don't understand their reasoning for a lot of things, especially the removal of useful features like that. You used to be able to tell it to move it to another station & I think it would put it under that stations thumbed-up songs. It's been like a decade though, so memory's a bit old. 😒 Pandora! PLEASE bring this feature back! ... View more

Re: "Also, some radio edits are very brief, so you may end up hearing the first and last part of a word which can often sound explicit." If you can tell what's being said, then it's not censored, it's it? Case in point: "F**k U" is no more a mystery than "macaroni and ch**se", no?  It is just as asinine to consider a piece of audio to be 'clean'(or 'unprofane') when you can so easily decipher the filth by ear as it is to accept the above text in my 'example' as adequately "censored." At the very least, one should have to use the context of the sentence heard to figure it out. A properly censored **** will, in and of itself, give no clues as to what it is. In short, for those of us trying to enjoy music without profanity, incomplete editing thereof is akin to *coughing* while saying it, which we all know doesn't actually cover anything. Editors need to stop trying to see how much they can get away with & just acknowledge that not everyone wants to hear, nor will consider acceptable, certain references.   Re: "Lastly, the explicit filter will only apply to your stations; it doesn't apply to podcasts or any on-demand content..." As can be determined in all my posts in which I've included screenshots across this & other threads, I only listen to my stations. Does the ad-unlocked hour applied to my channels mean that what's played for the duration is considered "on-demand"?🤨 If so, that needs to change as it's just as off-base of a "feature" as the afore-mentioned 'weak edits' being considered properly "censored". ...

This^ played t'nite on my mobile, saying "...the most f***ed up thing..." as part of the first phrase spoken(thankfully it was toward the beginning). Despite the stars I used for that quote, the F-bomb was NOT censored at all, so if someone tells you the edited/censored version was played to me t'nite, they're wrong & need to go and listen to it again, or they're lying. 🤨 Considering the screenshot contains/displays the answer to all those things U asked us to provide, minus the device on which it's playing, d'you still need us to provide all those details?(song name, artist, station, mode, etc...) As can be seen in the screenshot, this played during the ad-free hour I enabled via ad(wish these were offered more often). I dunno if that also affects the filtration of explicit content, but it'd be pretty pathetic if it was one of those exceptions(in which our preference therefor was ignored) considering it's supposed to be a taste of what we should expect to get via paid tier service. ...

I agree^.  This, on top of not measuring up to the  expectations set when advertising "zero interruptions," is ANOTHER reason I refuse to pay for Pandora's paid teirs: the best audio quality it offers is less than 256kbps! I LOVE the concept of Pandora's project, but the longer it goes without the love its developers/managers should be putting into it, the more it comes across like a cheap mobile phone game app that turns out to be just a guise hiding an ad distribution platform = unloved cash cow.😒 @Pandora, PLEASE give us this incentive to use you vs the others! You GOTTA stay competitive, or you'll lose users = your support base! That would be epic-ly sad.🥺 ... View more
