Pandora: Music & Podcasts 12+

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.

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.

My brother told me about your music App years ago and I signed up for it first on my computer and then on my iPhone! My husband had Sirius in his car and actually paid to use it! It was absolutely the worst music no matter which station we listened too. Half of the songs they played must be from the “B-side” of records from singing artists we chose! It was dreadful, especially because we could not give a thumbs down on any song they played so we never had to hear the songs again! It was a total ripoff! We cancelled our subscription for Sirius and will NEVER waste our money on them again! Now we use Pandora exclusively because you play all our favorite songs - plus, we get to choose the songs we love with a thumbs-up, so we hear them played often! AND, if there’s a song we’re not particularly fond of, we give it a thumbs-down and never hear it again! It’s a total win-WIN for us! Plus, Pandora is FREE! The few commercials we need to listen to are never annoying and long. I couldn’t be more pleased and use your station almost every time I drive my car! Thank you for providing such a wonderful music experience! I hope you never change your station!!
