Can anyone explain to me why Pandora throttles the volume in “Artist only mode”? It is noticeably lower than any other mode. It occurs on whatever device I use to listen. Does this happen to those of you with a paid subscription? Is this their way of trying to aggravate listeners into paying? I enjoy some of Pandora’s features but may just delete the app.

@bryan8252 I haven't been able to reproduce this issue on my end.
To clarify, when listening, are you connected to bluetooth headphones?
If so, does the volume also decrease when listening directly through your device's built in speaker system?
Let me know.

It is through both Bluetooth speakers and the speakers on my phone. It is every time I listen to “artist only”.

@bryan8252 I would like to report this issue to our engineers. Could you tell me more about your device?
- Device & Generation: (e.g. iPhone X, iPad Air (3rd gen), etc.)
- Carrier:
- iOS version: (Settings > General > About > Version)
- Pandora version: (Pandora > Profile tab > Settings gear & scroll to the bottom of the screen)
Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?
Have you identified any other patterns or notable information?
Thanks for your help with this.
