I have a station that is playing a wide variety of songs. I want to give it another song which has overlapping (desired) traits with the original song seed.
For example, I find two songs that have similar traits, and I want to find more songs that have this trait. I thought I could just create a new station with both songs as the seeds, but according to Pandora, it seems like when you add a new seed it will actually widen the amount of songs played since it will add more variety.
How can I do the opposite and narrow the variety to traits shared by multiple songs?

Unfortunately, pandora doesn't offer any really simple way to do this immediately. But there are a few things you can do:
I'm tired of this song means that you like the song but don't want to hear it as often, so that's no help.
The skip button Doesn't have any lasting effects either.
thumbs down and thumbs up are the correct ways to achieve what you want. Thumbs down means that song will never play again, the next song will be rather different, and 2 thumbs down and no thumbs up will ban an artist from the station. Thumbs are pandora's main tool for knowing what music it should play to you and others, even though it takes a while for you to see any effect. :D
You can't really tell pandora to play less variety, but you can only thumbs up songs of a specific type, so eventually it will only play songs like those.
