Android: Downloading Playlists with Plus

Why is this not letting me download songs for offline use when I have pandora plus and it's telling me I have to have pandora premium?

Hey there, @alc71. 👋

Thanks for your post around this.

Downloading playlists for offline listening isn't a feature of Pandora Plus.

For Pandora Plus subscribers, we will automatically choose up to three of your most-listened-to stations along with Thumbprint Radio* and add them to your offline listening stations.

Pandora Premium subscribers can choose which additional stations, albums, songs, or playlists are downloaded.

Have you visited our Feature Request space yet? If not, you can create your own feature requests for suggestions you'd like to share.

For more details about how feature requests work on the community, please check out: Feature Request Policy & FAQs

Hope this information is helpful. 🎧

Ok yes I knew I couldn't download my own picks but how long does it take for some of pandoras picks to show up in my offline listening. I literally listened all day yesterday and nothing is showing up. I've done the logging out and clearing the cache but still nothing.

@alc71 Something to note: Pandora will never use the last 500MB of storage, so we will only download as many stations as we can before we hit that limit.

For privacy purposes, I removed the photo from your last message as it shows part of your email address. Thank you for sharing so that I could see the message you received.

Lastly, signing out of the app will result in a removal of your downloads and resets the download process. I would recommend making sure to keep Pandora in the foreground of your device (app open) while the download completes.
