How can I ban "live" music from a Pandora station?
A lot of listeners, though they like live shows, don't always want to listen to live versions of songs in their Pandora stations.
How does one cut down on the live music in any given station?

Inappropriate?If you don't like listening to live music on Pandora:
First, make sure none of the inputs or thumbs ups on your station say (Live) after the song name.
Next, thumbs down any live songs you get.
Pandora will get the idea that you don't want live music on that station.
(though there isn't a way to completely ban live music from all your stations.)
You can review and edit your station by clicking on the small triangle next to the station name in the left-hand station menu, and then choosing "edit this station".
From there you can check out the artists/songs you've added to the station as seeds and review the songs you marked as thumbs up and down.
Putting a check mark in the box next to one of these, and then clicking on "remove checked" will set the feedback for it back to neutral.
(So the first thing to do is go make sure there's no thumbs ups for (Live) songs on your station, and you find any, delete them!)
Look here (http://blog.pandora.com/faq/index.htm...) for more info on creating and tuning Pandora stations.
I hope that helps!
Oh, also: feel free to seed your station with a studio version of a song you like, and then if you hear the live version, give it a thumbs down. That way you're guaranteed to hear the studio version, but will never have to hear the live version on that station.

I’m not all that into recordings of live music either...

Inappropriate?One problem I've run into is some "live" tracks are not labelled as such :( For instance - Living Color's "Middleman" keeps playing on a station of mine. I really like the original, but not the live version. But since it's not marked as "live"...I don't want to thumbs down it, for fear of losing the original track (and other tracks like it!)1 Comment Add a comment

Hi Tony - Thanks for the comment! Any time you see a live song that's not labeled (live), let us know, and we'll fix it! support@pandora.com. :) Lucia (I already notified my co-workers regarding the Living Colour song.)
