When I'm listening to Pandora in my car why does the volume continually go up and down when it switches from song to song.

Hi @SHADY1946
Welcome to community!
Sorry for any trouble! Pandora doesn't alter the music equalization from how it appears on the original releases. As a result, some songs may sound louder or lower than others. This may especially be true for older tracks. Depending on the song, if there are vast differences, it could also be due to different instrumentation or arrangements causing different apparent levels of volume where the actual decibel levels are the same.
