Pandora App, What's missing

Pandora is another app deserving of being among my top 5.  i probably use this app more often than any other.  i have created so many radio stations which include artists from New Edition to Squarepusher; Expose to Run DMC; Imogen Heap to Daft Punk.  

lately i have gotten hooked into Steely Dan.  a lot of the songs Pandora has been playing base on that have been songs i've heard so many times over growing up, and some i've have never heard of before. despite that i'm really digging it.

this app keeps me company while driving to work and back, when i'm grocery shopping, or just relaxing at home.

here's the problem; i have created a lot of radio stations, but  the app - or perhaps the service itself - only allows me one QuickMix.  A QuickMix is a way to combine multiple radio stations so that you can get enjoy a greater range of music selections.  

if Pandora and i were to sit together over coffee and talk about what i think is missing in the app and/or service there's only one thing i would request for, multiple QuickMix's.  

i think it would be great to organize different radio stations into playlists or QuickMix's.  i could name each QuickMix. there would be a section just for QuickMix's for easy access. you can edit them allowing you to add new stations to them.

still - absent being able to do that - it's my among my most used app.  and well deserving of being among my top 5 app.


peace,
@riel
