Sort your collection from a Samsung TV

Sort stations as a Free or Plus user:

By default your stations will be sorted by those most recently played.

If you'd prefer that your collection be sorted alphabetically, you can change this preference in your Settings. Simply open your Settings, select Content Settings, and select the A to Z sorting option.

 

Sort stations as a Pandora Premium subscriber:

You can sort your collection within My Music by using the Up and Down keys on your remote.

By default your albums, playlists and songs will be sorted by the date you added them, and your stations will be sorted by those most recently played. Artists are always sorted alphabetically.

If you're looking for one of your playlists, just search for it in the search bar, and Pandora will pull it up for you.

If you'd prefer that your albums, playlists, songs, or stations be sorted alphabetically by default, you can change this preference in your Settings. Simply open your Settings, select Content Settings, and select the A to Z sorting option.

Delete stations from a Samsung TV

To delete a station from your Samsung TV, start playing the station you'd like to delete. Then, using the directional pad on your remote, tap the center button to interact with the album art of the currently playing track.

This should display the option to delete the station.

For Premium Users on Samsung TV:

While you can delete radio stations from your Samsung TV, it's not currently possible to delete playlists. You can delete playlists from our website or your mobile device, and your changes will carry over.

Explicit Content on Samsung TV

Explicit Content filtering is on by default for in-home products like Samsung TVs, since they are frequently used in family settings.

To adjust the Explicit Content settings on your Samsung TV:

1. Go to your Settings. You'll see the options for explicit content under Content Settings.
2. Adjust your settings as you see fit. You will be prompted to input your current Pandora password to save this setting.

Enabling the Explicit Content filter will limit Pandora to playing music on your stations that could play on daytime broadcast radio. Note that this can only be applied to all your radio stations (not specific stations or on-demand content).

Samsung TV Troubleshooting

This issue is usually specific to the network you're using to access Pandora, or due to an error on the device itself.

First, make sure your device has the latest firmware by checking for a new update.

To do this, press Menu on your remote and scroll down to Support. Then select Software Update.

If an update is available, try loading Pandora again once the update is complete.

Next, try deleting and re-adding the Pandora app from the app store on your Samsung TV.

If you're still having the same problem, then try a few standard network troubleshooting steps:

• Try connecting directly via an Ethernet cable rather than using Wi-Fi (if you have this option on your device), and see if that helps.
• Try rebooting your modem and router and restarting the device.

You should also contact Samsung directly to troubleshoot your specific device and settings.
