Pandora and Shuffle Play Only Selected Stations

When I use Pandora (not Pandora One) I can select Shuffle Play and choose which of the many stations on my list I want to be included in that Shuffle. How is this feature enabled when using Pandora on Sonos. Does the Quickmix allow you to select a limited number of stations or does it just toggle between all of your stations.

      Frank, Quickmix plays a variety of all stations. The shuffle play feature is not currently supported by Pandora on Sonos. I'm going to switch this topic over to an Idea so that others can comment on it and add their support. Thanks!

        QuickMix appears to select from all your stations.

        How hard could it be? I won't use QuickMix because I don't ever want to hear a mix of the whole variety of stations I have. And I get tired of listening to only one station at a time. Please add the ability to check the stations you want to shuffle.

          John M, when you say in your reply above "The shuffle play feature is not currently supported by Pandora on Sonos", do you mean that Pandora is the reason that Sonos is not able to do this? If so, should we as users be contacting Pandora directly about this? Or, is this a design issue with Sonos? Thanks, Perry

          Pandora allows you to shuffle specific station, but Sonos does not allow the feature to be active on their web sit. The present "quick mix" on Sonos is not the answer.

          Quickmix (now called Shuffle by Pandora, but, the same thing) plays stations you've selected on Pandora.com or Pandora's desktop app. There is no way to change the stations to be played using the Controller.

          I urge the Sonos team to make the functionality mentioned above active for the Sonos. When I'm having a dinner party, I'd like to be able to shuffle selected stations without Christmas music or my kid's stations in the mix. The only fix now is to delete stations and add them back in later. This is unacceptable for a system for which I paid nearly $500. Get with it Sonos--there are many competitors at your heels.

            I agree 100%. As a custom installer, our customers always ask for this feature. Please work on it.

              I agree -- we recently outfitted our entire home, spending more than $2k on this system.  We used this feature constantly prior to our Sonos install.  This is unacceptable.  Please work on this!

                Completely agree. I love the Sonos system but the inability to create a shuffle for selected pandora stations is majorly disappointing.
