#Pandora radio christmas music how to#

I've lost my favorite station and I don't know how to get it back. I keep thumbing them down (I've thumbed down SCORES) but it won't stop playing non-holiday songs from Bing Crosby, big bands, depression-era music, etc. Today, all of a sudden, it did a 180 on me and now, instead of playing any of the songs I like, it is playing a ton of non-holiday music from the 30s and 40s. I've been building a Christmas holiday station for many years and really loved the music it played.

In the meantime, it may also help to remove those three tracks you mentioned from your added variety on that station since they are not correctly marked with the holiday tag. This blog post may be helpful in guiding you towards some of our top holiday genre stations: Pandora’s Guide to Holiday Music If you'd prefer to hear a station that solely plays holiday music, I recommend checking out our curated holiday genre stations. Non-holiday tracks playing on your station:Īt the same time, it is still possible for non-holiday tracks to appear on stations you manually create such as the Christmas Radio 2 station that is currently in your collection. I've gone ahead and reported those three specific tracks to our curation team so they can take a closer look. We have a similar thread where you can report those instances: Holiday Tags Missing This is likely the main reason those non-holiday tracks are playing on your station, as I see a number of the tracks you've thumbed down on your station are by Basshunter and Jose Feliciano. This brings up a couple of interesting things here.įor one, it doesn't look like those tracks you've added have the holiday tags attached to them (when I believe they should). Moderator Edit: Edited title for for following up. (in fact id prefer to not have to listen to it at all until December but c'est la vie) Any suggestions? I totally understand that any station is going to get better over time so listening hours is key but Id rather not have to listen to Christmas music sporadically for the next few months to only find out that its still going to play non-holiday music. I tried utilizing the Pandora holiday station instead and that works but there's no way to customize the variety. This seemed to help but still it plays non-holiday tracks. I figured the issue was creating the station with specific songs so I removed a majority of them replacing with Artist (Holiday) instead.

I listened to it for a few hours and it kept playing non-holiday music. Easy enough right? Make a station with the variety those 10 or so songs. Since its a small collection I'd rather use Pandora's station function to vastly expand the music selection. I have a GP playlist of 20 or so Holiday songs with 10 or so 'must haves'. Brief background I'm transitioning from Google Play Music to Pandora premium.

I'm having a bit of a dilemma with holiday stations.
