Any chance you could add a command which adds the currently playing song to another station? I believe Pandora used to have this feature, but I haven't seen the Pandora web interface in years (thanks to pianobar :) ).
I'm not sure how the add seed function is implemented, but if it's not possible to pass a song identifier directly, one solution could simply do a [a]dd song to station, fill in with track title - artist name as search query, and do [t]rack search. The user would probably still have to confirm by choosing which of the results they want, since the add seed search seems to be buggy and can return incorrect songs even when searching with full title/artist, but that's probably okay.
The use case for this is when Pandora gives you a song that you like, but it is not a good fit for the current station but a good fit for another one.

This exact feature got removed with commit 845cf4c (see #280), because Pandora broke it years ago.
Adding seeds works differently from adding feedback. Seeds are identified by a musicId, which is returned by searching whereas feedback requires a trackToken, which seems to be tied to a specific station (see #280). Both also differ in how they affect which music is played (I think seeds broaden the station’s scope, whereas feedback narrows it). So it’s not possible to emulate the old feature.
Additionally the current UI design does not allow operating on stations, which are not playing, so I think we’re out of luck here :(

@PromyLOPh Oh, that explains where it went! I was remembering pianobar having it, but couldn't be sure.

Aw, that's too bad. Sounds like Pandora's interface is really not helping matters here. Regardless, thank you so much for the response and all the great work on pianobar! It's really been a pleasure to use over the years.
