Artist Only mode play doesn't shuffle through added artists

Rawrcasm — Wed, 16 Jun 2021 17:22:27 GMT

I created a station with a few dozen artists and am playing that station in Artist Only mode.

The problem is that the songs are playing in alphabetical order of the artists. e.g. 10 songs by Appleband, 10 songs by Bubbleblues, 10 songs by Catchycrew, etc.

How can I enable shuffling?

@Rawrcasm Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

What is the name of the station you are listening to where all of these artists have been added?

Also, are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?

If you are on a computer, are you listening from:

A Mac or Windows computer?
Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?

If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
Can you provide me with a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

@AdamPandora ,

I am listening to the station "Hulaween 2021". I am listening to Pandora on a Samsung Galaxy S10 on Verizon via the Pandora App. There is no error message, it just doesn't behave as expected. I have attached a video demonstrating the behavior.

Thank you!

Thank you for sending this over, @Rawrcasm.

This is actually working as intended - your station will play a select number of tracks by one of the artists you've added as variety to your station before moving on to the next artist (when listening in Artist Only Mode).

If you'd like to be able to shuffle through your added artists when listening in Artist Only Mode, I recommend creating a feature request for your suggestion here.

Hope this helps!
