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.

      There HAS to be away to allow a user to check specific Pandora stations on Sonos and then shuffle only amongst only those checked stations.  Sonos:  what are you doing about this problem?

      Ability already exists and I have personally confirmed. You must go on pandora website. Under my shuffle you select the stations you want to include in mix. Only the checked stations will be used in the Sonos shuffle.

Hello Chris, I used to shuffle my stations by going to Pandora like you said, but now sonos keeps all my stations on the shuffle, even if I unselect them(on Pandora). If I delete the station off sonos, it deletes it from my Pandora as well. This just started about a month ago. Any suggestions?

        Found Chris's post in another thread and thought I would do the same as he did and let folks know on similar threads. I can confirm this does work as he stated. Go to Pandora website. Set up your shuffle options on the Pandora website. Then in sonos when you choose shuffle option for Pandora, it plays the stations you set up on the Pandora website. It does work for me as of today.

        Total fail. There are over 90 (I counted) stations on the office Sonos Pandora system.
        Whenever someone selects "shuffle" feature, all we get are Robert Plant related projects & Frankie Valli.

        This does not work for me. I set pandora to shuffle only one station as a test and in Sonos it still shuffles all. It seems to me it is is in the Sonos user interface where out don't have the options to select the shuffle stations.
