I can choose Deep Cuts from my Pandora app or from the website but within the new Sonos app with the new UI the choice to change modes within Pandora no longer exists. It has disappeared completely.
Even if they did exist it doesn't explain why when I add a band to a station I've created that only a handful of songs even get played. As well the Thumbs Up thing only increases the number of times I hear that specific song and nothing else from that band. I've since gone in and removed all my Thumbs Up. The Thumbs Downs I've kept because those do what a normal person would expect that they do. Casting is not an option in my setup as non of my Sonos speakers are current enough to support that. I can, however, cast from Pandora to my Apple TV or home theater receiver.
I run Pandora about 15 hours a day so I'm pretty in tune with how much stuff gets replayed. Another quirk is how you can hear 10,000 Maniacs followed by a Natalie Merchant song and that the algorithm isn't smart enough to recognize the problem with that when I have 10-20 other bands assigned to that station. For some reason it loves playing a large variety of Van Morrison but literally no other band gets more than about 6 songs.
