Unfortunately, that evaluation has been verified by long-term observation by its users.  Pandora's handling of the app, the music settings, the lyrics, the licensing, solution marking & issue resolution on the forum, etc. is one of the most comical & longest running clown shows I've ever watched.  It's gone 2 poo at least since it was purchased by SiriusXM.  ...might've started its decline prior, I don't remember.  Here's hoping something changes it 4 the better someday.  It was originally a great project. ...

Please see the post's original text(quoted below), which answers your question. "However, the lyrics it shows, edited slightly(b**ch), were NOT edited in the audio, at which point..." ...no, the track that played was NOT playing the censored version. The point of the post was more to point out the system's recurring failure to filter out clearly explicit content than call attention to a mislabeling that has a much less significant impact on the listener who's specifically set their settings so that they shouldn't hear such content.(incase U wanna update the title again -shrugs-)  The info about the mislabeling  was just something I thought would also be useful to those trying to keep things making sense.  Hope it helps! ...

Thanks, I look forward 2 hearing the determination of their investigation & results therefrom. 🙂 ... View more

Yea, & it's a shame that the Pandora system(whether on "desktop" or the mobile app) points users here for "support" when what they get are folks in higher 'positions' making WILD assumptions about why they're experiencing a thing, then explaining it to 'em as if they've no concept of how to navigate the user interface/system properly(honestly, how many users are doing much more than creating channels/stations & letting them play, anyway?) & usually failing to ask clarifying questions that would otherwise easily guide their response, then they mark their submission as the accepted solution(akin to patting themselves on the back) AND then failing to answer followup questions.  Once in a blue moon I'll see more than 1 contribution from any single moderator on a thread, but it's few & far between.   I've been using Pandora for >1.5 decades now & it's been so sad to watch an incredible project change hands & be turned into a low budget, low yield, essentially unsupported cash cow.😢 ...

Thx @MariaPandora.  D'you know what the last feature submitted to that section of the forum that was actually implemented into the Pandora program/system was, & when? ... View more

Right on, thx!😁 ... View more

Thanks Maria.  That sounds like it could be a useful thing ...if it was something we could tell it to do, instead of something it just does automatically without our wanting it to.   In deciding to turn the feature on/create such a playlist, people R made aware of where such a thing comes from in the 1st place, reducing confusion.  I think the automatic playlist creation could work well as an opt-in toggle within channel/account options.  If it's opt-out(meaning it's on by default & users have 2 go find the opt-out option in order 2 disable it), then there's a much higher chance people end up confused by its presence like I was. Hope this helps! 🙂 ... View more

Thanks for the response. That being the case, seems they should've locked it to Portrait mode to avoid it showing so broken in the 1st place.  I've several apps on my phone that likewise don't support landscape mode, but use said locking to keep weird stuff like what's pictured from happening, so I know it's something the devs should be able 2 do.  That'd be a quick fix, too.  Please send this suggestion to them! 😁 ...

@KDG150, to go along w/ MariaPandora's advice:   If you're using a "Windows machine," & don't want to use the software that Micropoosoft wants to shove down our throats, pressing ctrl+alt+prtscrn(printscreen button) will also 'screenshot' the active window(instead of the entire screen's contents), which can then be pasted into any image editor compatible with Windows' clipboard's copy/paste feature for further edits, or directly into these reply windows(see many of my posts reporting incorrect lyrics or explicit content that's incorrectly played when it should be filtered).  Hope this helps! 😁 ...

  Also @Tasha787, I think it's important to understand that adding a piece of music(vs an artist) to a channel as a seed means that Pandora, until they change something, will NEVER play that piece on the channel it's added to.  It's one of the many ways Pandora is broken & refuses to be fixed.   I ran into this again recently with a channel I just created a few days ago.  I started the channel from the song "Centipede" by 'Knife Party' on my phone(the Pandora mobile "App") & it started playing that exact song.  This was pleasantly unexpected, but within 15 seconds, as I was editing the name of the channel & adding artists thereto, it suddenly stopped playback & loaded another song.  That's how 'anti-play-seeded-songs' Pandora is.  ..couldn't even let it play through once since it was a seed.  Not only that, but then the app consistently failed to actually remove the song from the channel so it would eventually play 'normally'!  I must've told it to remove it from the seeds part of the channel, including hitting the save button(which tells you it's successfully saved!), at least 7-8 times before I finally got to my computer to try it on the F.F. browser I use.  That SEEMS to've worked thus far, but it's just another example of things to expect from a platform that's no longer truly supported on the backend. ...kinda like these threads getting marked solved just because mods respond to them.  I've almost always had to tell the thread that said response it not the solution, particularly when there IS no solution.  It's especially egregious when someone tells you that you can do a thing that you've already outlined in your original thread as an unwanted requirement or is out of the question for wtvr reason.  Makes one feel like they didn't even bother reading what you'd written.  I dunno if you knew you could do that, but yes, you can click the 3 dots on their response, when it offers nothing to actually solve the issue/answer the question, & select "Not the Solution."  Hope this helps! ...
