Is it possible to only shuffle a few specific stations on Pandora?

I have a plethora of different types of stations on my Pandora and wanted to only shuffle a few of them together when I listen. Is there a way to do this?

Are there any good Pandora alternatives with general availability outside the US? [closed]

Unfortunately for us Europeans (and all the other non-US) based people, services like Pandora aren't available.

So is there a good alternative to Pandora, where you can listen to streaming music?

Preferably free and not restricted to certain countries. Spotify for instance would be awesome, but it is only available in a couple of countries. Last.fm isn't free and YouTube has to take the music from certain videos or doesn't even show them.

How do I undo a thumbs down on Pandora?

I accidentally gave a thumbs down to a song I really like. Does anyone know how to undo a thumbs down for a song on Pandora's website?

Edit: I can't reach the song in my immediate history

How can I see all thumbed-up songs on Pandora?

I want to see all the thumbed-up songs for one of my Pandora stations but when I go to the station's page I can only see 5 thumbed-up songs with no option to get a full listing of them. How do I get the full list?

How to listen to Pandora music streaming outside United States? (e.g., in Canada)

I used to use Pandora's free online streaming music service, and I liked the way I could "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" songs to indicate my preferences in music, and explore related artists. I bought many CDs after being introduced to new artists via Pandora. However, some years ago, Pandora shut down access to Canadians. (Boo!)

I was in the U.S. recently and was able to log in to my old account from the hotel room. I realized I miss Pandora quite a bit. What's the easiest way to work around the restrictions that Pandora put in place? I promise to support new artists I like and discovered via Pandora.

Is there any way to easily merge two Pandora stations into a single station?

I have two stations that I'd like to merge. I essentially want all the seed, thumbed up, and thumbed down songs from one station to be added to the other.

Is there any way for me to do this?

Is there a way to export list of Pandora songs that I have upvoted or downvoted?

Is there a way to export a list of songs that have been upvoted or downvoted in a particular pandora station? I have been working on customizing my own pandora station for over a year and would like to be able to get that data out. Thanks!

Pandora: song seed vs. thumbs up, what's the difference?

What's the difference between adding a song as a seed to a station vs. giving it a thumbs up?

Does it affect which songs will be played differently, or do they behave exactly the same?

I noticed that when I start a radio station with any given song, the song is usually not going to be played on the station. However, when I up-vote a song, it will be played more often. Is this really how Pandora works, or am I just not observing it correctly?

How can I get Pandora to play a certain song?

Are there any tricks to get Pandora to play a specific song you want to listen to?

I have noticed that songs that I use as seeds are usually not played on the same radio station. I don't mind that when you start a station it doesn't play the specific song you used as the seed, but I think that it's ridiculous how it goes out of it's way to specifically not play that song, ever, on that station.

Besides the obvious benefit of playing a song you like, there are also other reasons it's important for a song to play on a station, such as when you want to thumbs-up a specific song in order to narrow a station's variety.

In Pandora, how can I create a new station with the same seed as an existing station?

Sometimes I'll create a station in Pandora using a specific song as a seed. After some time, I will have up voted and down voted several songs. As a result, sometimes the station songs drift away from the initial seed I provided the station, and I would like to create a similar station which explores different attributes which are closer to the original song.

When I try creating a new station and choosing the same song as the seed, instead of creating a new station, it just takes me to the pre-existing station. I don't want to delete the old station, I want to have the old one and a new one which has no up votes and down votes. How can I do this in Pandora?

Is down voting a song based on only one attribute a good idea on Pandora?

Some of my radio stations on Pandora tend to get a lot of long songs (e.g. over 6 minutes). However, I prefer songs in the range of 3-4 minutes.

The songs themselves are usually good and would fit well with the radio station's theme. The only problem is their length, if they were shorter, I would definitely up vote them.

I'm wondering if Pandora is smart enough to realize that when I down vote these versions of the songs, it's not because I don't want similar songs but rather because of the length of the song.

What I usually try to do, before down voting longer versions of songs, is to first up vote the short length version, and only then start down voting the longer versions. I'm hoping Pandora realizes that the only difference between an up and down vote from me is the length of the song, and will learn that I don't like long songs.

In practice, though, it seems to not work very well. I think it completely ignores the length attribute and simply stops playing songs that are similar to this one.

Furthermore, sometimes I'll never get the short version of the song so I'm not sure if I should be up voting or down voting the long versions. An up vote will cause similar songs to play (a good thing), but might cause other long versions of songs to play (a bad thing). A down vote will do the opposite.

This isn't only limited to the length of a song, it could also be: version (e.g. remix vs. original), gender (e.g. female vs. male vocals).

What's the best way to make Pandora play similar songs to these ones, but also play the shorter versions of them?

How do thumbs up/down work?

I understand that if you thumbs up, you get more audio similar to it and thumbs down presumably means the opposite. Is this limited to the specific station or does it cross stations?

Example, I have a station for Techno and another for Comedians. However, when I select the Techno station, I generally just want techno music (and only comedians for the other station). So if I upvote a stand-up routine, will it try to factor that into my techno station?

Also, I can go to a song or artist directly and click "Like". How does this factor into my stations?

I mainly ask because I have a station with weird songs (like Weird Al, They Might Be Giants, etc.) that began suggesting Comedy routines by comedians I like, but I want this station to only be songs.

How can I narrow the focus of a station on Pandora?

I have a station that is playing a wide variety of songs. I want to give it another song which has overlapping (desired) traits with the original song seed.

For example, I find two songs that have similar traits, and I want to find more songs that have this trait. I thought I could just create a new station with both songs as the seeds, but according to Pandora, it seems like when you add a new seed it will actually widen the amount of songs played since it will add more variety.

How can I do the opposite and narrow the variety to traits shared by multiple songs?
