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.

      I agree 100%. Shuffling specific stations within Pandora is a must have. In an office environment with multiple personal preferences it's nice to accommodate more controls over a daily mix. Our results with quickmix tend to yield too much repetition of songs from day to day.

      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!
      I'd like to see the ability to select multiple stations also. Can do it on PC and Android app. Why should Sonos be behind?

        Sonos Quick Mix seems to play only stations that are checked off. It may be that Sonos uses this [unofficial] API, which apparently does not expose the method for checking/unchecking stations.

          This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Quick mix has been removed from pandora. Now it is just shuffle(all stations). I would like to shuffle selected pandora stations.. There is no shuffle of selected pandora stations. Just shuffle all stations. There needs to be the ability either from the pandora desktop or the sonos app to shuffle selected stations

            Is anyone from Sonos reading this? Are we talking to the right people here - or should we be talking to Pandora? This feature is quite an important one to a lot of people, and you can guarantee that the people writing here are only a very small proportion of those that want the feature we're asking for. The systems and ways of working have changed but 2 years later the same question is being asked. You're supplying a high end product - we have the right to expect a high end solution.

            This is the one thing that I think will make a big difference to Sonos and its competitors. Please, if you want to make Sonos the only true venue for us to use, then this is a necessity to get to that level.

            It appears that this feature isn't available to Sonos via the Pandora API. So complain to Pandora, not Sonos.

            I am going to rip out all of the Sonos in my house.  It works sporadically  cuts out and is not compatible with Pandora.  A total waste of thousands of dollars

            Sonos cuts out from my direct line when I try to play music direct from my song list on my computer. Total junk
