Why we're not playing...

Pandora is designed to introduce you to new music through the artists and songs that you already know and love. When creating a station, type in a favorite artist or song, then Pandora will play similar music. 

While each Pandora station will learn what you like and don't like on that station based on your feedback (Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down), it's never possible to predict exactly which song will play next.

If you'd prefer to hear more of the artist that you seeded the station with, try using Pandora Modes. Pandora Modes allows you to listen to your station in Artist Only mode.* 

Alternately, you can review your station details to remove some Thumbs or added variety, as that should help.

To learn how to edit your stations see Create, Edit and Delete Stations. For more tips on improving your stations, click here. 
If you're having trouble with your stations not playing at all, you may want to check out our Troubleshooting section for assistance with your device.

*Since licensing regulations require a Pandora Premium subscription in order to be able to listen to your station in Artist Only mode, free listeners and Pandora Plus subscribers will be able to view an advertisement in order to initiate a complimentary Premium Access Session. Those that do will also have access to Pandora Premium's other features during their Premium Access session.
