Second, my goal is for Pandora to eliminate my need for SiriusXM in my cars. Five bucks a month seems to me to be a reasonable way to eliminate the annoyance (although I haven’t yet taken that step).

I’m new to Pandora and am dealing with the same issues.įirst, regarding the annoyance of ads, there is no free lunch and ads (which must have a marketable value) pay the bills. Let me know if you'd like to me to have some contact you directly. I'm also happy to have someone from our User Support team reach out to you via email to offer assistance with your stations. Sharing your experiences in the community is also helpful, in case others are experiencing similar issues. We do have a User Support team that can always be contacted here. Running through these steps may help with the repetition you're experiencing.

On that note, we now have a station dedicated to full classical works that you can check out here.Īlso, you may be interested in this article from our blog discussing some interesting things about the evolution of Pandora's classical selection.įeel free to check out this these steps regarding adding variety to your stations. We are continually working on ways to present classical music on Pandora radio stations in a more appropriate manner. I would recommend upvoting this existing feature request to choose the types of ads you'd like to experience during your listening sessions. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to change the volume of ads dependent upon the station on which they play.

As a result, only the loudest parts of songs may sound as loud as commercials (which by design have little dynamic range).ĭynamic differences between music and ads can also vary based on the genre of music or when the track was recorded. One thing to keep in mind is that music has a much wider dynamic range (the difference in volume between the softest and loudest parts) in comparison to ads. We know ads can be disruptive to the listening experience. In the meantime, I moved your post over to the My Collection board to keep the community organized. Thanks so much for your feedback, and welcome to the community, what our listeners have to say is extremely valuable to us, and it means a lot that you care enough to speak up. Moderator Edit: Changed title for clarity But if you want me to pay for a subscription, you'll need to address these issues. I realize Pandorra doesn't want to hear from your listeners, or you would provide easier contact information.

It is very frustrating to hear such poor programming parctices!Īlso, it is very disturbing to be listening to a gentle rendition of a classical selection, and then be shook awake by a commercial blasting away at 2 to 3 times the decibel level of the music! That is just unforgiveable Enginering and Production practice. Ask any radio station's Music Director, and they will tell you that is BAD PROGRAMMING! I was a music director for many years. And I don't know how many times I have heard 4 or 5 selections by the same composer, in a row. Sometimes I have heard the same composition by the same composer and artist 2 times in one hour. I like to mostly listen to Classical Music, but your programming really is very poor! In several instances I have heard the same composition three times in a row. I am thinking of upgrading to a paid Pandora subscription, but I have real problems with your programming.
