Are there any tricks to get Pandora to play a specific song you want to listen to?
I have noticed that songs that I use as seeds are usually not played on the same radio station. I don't mind that when you start a station it doesn't play the specific song you used as the seed, but I think that it's ridiculous how it goes out of it's way to specifically not play that song, ever, on that station.
Besides the obvious benefit of playing a song you like, there are also other reasons it's important for a song to play on a station, such as when you want to thumbs-up a specific song in order to narrow a station's variety.
