And for now, my preference is with Pandora. It does what I like, but I do wish there was slightly more customization with radios like being able to select like a playlist of radio stations and it shuffle those. If I shuffle my radios it’s going to include classical music which I don’t mind but it’s not the vibe I’m looking for; if I select to shuffle, it’s gonna also include children’s music because I’ve used it for my kids back when the first Lego Movie came out and I don’t want to hear “everything is awesome!” For example: I’m looking for a variety of female voices like Alanis, No Doubt’s Gwen Stephanie and Halsey - Manic, and I’d like to break it up with some of todays country mixes. I don’t have that option unless I pick something like Post Malone’s Station, but then it’s gonna play some of his songs that aren’t my favorite. I want some variety. Like I want to be able to tweak the algorithm. But I haven’t updated my phone or software to see if this is already a feature that I’m just unaware of and haven’t figured out yet (I need user friendly and not overwhelming with options). I’m Team Pandora. I choose to pay for it and will watch a single 30 second ad for the privilege to play an entire album or choose specific songs for a bit. But please stay affordable and don’t do more ads. Otherwise, I’m going to continue down the path of buying physical secondhand media and raise the next generation to do the same and I will do my part and preach to listening ear to disconnect. - **4★ · Is this just me? · August 26, 2022** — I’ve had pandora for about 6 years installed on my phone. I love the short sessions you can have for free by just watching an ad (which I only discovered 3 years ago fsr) and they usually last about 30 minutes. But there have been some glitches I have been encountering. So let’s say I pick a song and start a session, then I realize that I have to do something else so I pause a song. About 1-2 hours later when I come back it would be done, which is *supposed to happen* but it doesn’t. So I turn a song on thinking it’s not a big deal, and the song won’t play. None of the songs will! I turn on the radio stations though and it works fine (though a bit slower). Oh, but when I try to replay a song on that station, which usually works, isn’t, so I have to be more careful as not to make a mistake of skipping anything. But sometimes, or sorry, ehem, MOST of the time, it will be hours later AND it still won’t END. Like please, I just want this glitchy session to end so I can start another one so I can actually listen to the songs in my playlists! The only solution to the problem for me is to sin out of my account, and then re-log in. It’s so much work though to go all the way to the settings, sign out, wait like 5 minutes (yes it takes a very long time) and then finally log back in, and then think of a song to search up in the search bar. Like, this isn’t supposed to happen. It’s so repetitive. Please fix this. - **5★ · Great for Finding “New” Songs · December 6, 2023** — I have always loved music from many decades going back to the 50’s and even newly created songs that have a modern twist on certain vibes- such as a 20’s flare or an old timey sound, or a lounge/jazz sound, etc. my problem is I have NEVER learned the Artists and Titles. I know many of the names of Artists, but can’t pinpoint which one sang which song, and certainly either never knew the title or just can’t remember. That’s because I never was allowed to buy cassettes or CDs growing up- we just had radio and I change channels as soon as DJ starts talking. Now the new cars have a screen that shows the Artist and Title when driving. Point is- I love that I can search a “station” for an artist I know on Pandora and the app finds more with the same style. Like 10years ago I went on a cruise and came home searching for beachy vacation or Hawaiian vibe music, and of course Halloween and Christmas music for parties. I love being able to click and see the LYRICS also- especially if I can’t figure out a word or phrase they are singing. I would LOVE to see an additional feature- the DATE the Titles were released- to show on Lock Screen under Title & Artist. I think it would be a very easy addition that does not take up much room to display. I wish radio name would do the same for the vehicle display screens that already show Title & Artist when driving. ## About Create stations from your favorite songs, artists or genres, search or browse to find recommended stations for your mood or activity, and discover podcasts that speak to you.
