Stations

The Pandora library, curated for each location.

Build stations from any artist, album or track, browse genre collections by decade, and keep each store’s lineup fresh with shuffle.

  • Search stations, artists, albums and tracks
  • Browse genre stations by era — 50s through 2010s
  • Shuffle across a location’s saved stations
Create Station search results grouped by stations, artists, albums and tracks
Schedule

Match the music to the moment, automatically.

Set the morning mood, pick up the pace at lunch and wind down in the evening. Dayparting switches stations on time, every day, with no one touching the player.

  • Add a row per time slot: station plus start time
  • Edit lock stops other admins overwriting your changes
  • Save once and it applies to the player immediately

See what played. Shape what plays next.

Pull a log of recent tracks straight from the player, then like, dislike, rest an overplayed song or spin up a new station from a favorite.

  • Track, artist and album for every recent song
  • Sleep a song to give it a temporary break
  • Create a station from any track or artist

FAQ

Questions, answered.

More in the Pandora for Business FAQ.

Do I need to install anything?

No. The Web Controller runs in your web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. Just sign in at pandora.moodmedia.com/control.

Where do I find my Device ID?

It’s shown on your player’s device settings screen. Enter it when you select Add Location.

Can I manage several locations from one account?

Yes. Every location you add appears on your dashboard. Use Switch Location to choose which one you’re controlling.

What does “Offline” mean?

The player has lost its internet connection or power. Check the device and its network; it will show as Active again once it reconnects.

How often can I skip a song?

Once every 20 seconds per location.

What’s the difference between Dislike and Sleep Song?

Dislike stops that song playing again on that station at that location. Sleep Song gives it a temporary break — ideal for seasonal or overplayed tracks.

I forgot my password.

Select Forgot Password? on the sign-in screen and we’ll email you a confirmation code to set a new one. Check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive within a few minutes.

Your music, every location, one place.
