Pandora was one of the premier music and podcast streaming services and is still going strong. One of the reasons it is so popular is that it allows users to customize their music lists by liking and disliking songs.
In Pandora, this means clicking or tapping the "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" button next to a song. Your choices help Pandora better organize suggested playlists and radio stations.
However, if the recommended music doesn't make much sense, maybe you should revisit the songs you liked before. Luckily, Pandora keeps all of your Thumbs Up selections in one place where you can view them.

- Launch the Pandora app on your iPad. Make sure you are logged in to your account.
- Tap the "Profile" button in the lower right corner of the screen.
- Select the "inches" option.
This is how you get full access to all the songs you love on Pandora. If you have been using Pandora for a long time, this list can be quite long. You will see the exact number of liked songs at the very top of the "Thumbs" screen.
How to tell the difference with a specific song on Pandora
One of the common reasons why some users want to show songs they like on Pandora is to see if they accidentally liked something they don't really like. However, the process is not quite simple, especially if you are using the free version of Pandora.
If you're not paying for one of the subscription plans, the only way not to sound like a song is to uncheck the "Thumbs Up" button while the music is still playing. This means that you will have to realize a mistake quickly and react even faster.
On the other hand, Premium Pandora users have another option they can use. So, if you're paying for Pandora's premium content, here's how you can remove the unintended or unfortunate "Thummp Up" selection:
- Go to the "My Collection" section on Pandora. It's located on your home screen on the web player and mobile app.
- Select the name of the station that contains the song you want to dislike.
- This action will lead to the backstage page of that specific station. Select the "Edit" icon next to the play button.
- You can choose to scroll the list “Thumbs up” or “Thumbs down”.
- To remove a song from either list, select "X" next to the song.
The change will affect how future Pandora suggestions. Also, keep in mind that the more you intentionally use the "Thumbs Up" or "Thumbs Down" button, the better your Pandora experience will be.
It's also important to note that the same song may repeat on different stations, even if you previously chose "Tumbs Down". In that case, consider choosing the "I'm sick of this lead" option.
Manage your Pandora stations like a pro
If you are using the free version of Pandora, you cannot search and play the song you want. You can't even skip songs as many times as you want.
But you have access to many stations organized into categories such as "Lazy Day" or "Christmas". When you use the 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' button while listening to these stations, you directly create a more personal listening experience.
That's why it's essential to make sure your favorite songs are the ones you enjoy. No matter what device you're using, you can find the "Tumbs Up" list and check it out. You can even delete liked songs from previous sessions if you are a premium user.
