Where I live, cellular service is extremely spotty on my daily commute and I pass through 3-4 "dead zones" in cellular service for about 10-15 seconds at a time. I've been becoming increasingly frustrated with Pandora because the app is way too unforgiving to losing cellular service even for a few seconds. I'm a Pandora Plus member so I only have 3 offline stations that I can't choose. I'll be in the middle of a song (always seems to be one I really like too,) and it'll suddenly go into offline mode and switch stations on me. As I see it, Offline mode is more annoying than it is helpful. Why can't the Pandora app have a built-in buffer, or pre-download the next 2-3 songs so that your music stream isn't interrupted from every little loss in network connectivity. I've also noticed I can't replay the same song quite often due to the loss of service. Does it not even download a song in its entirety at a time? Is this something in the works? As it is, I'm considering cancelling my service from this frustration after being with Pandora for a decade or more. Seems like a pretty easy fix to have a larger buffer and to have it take advantage of when you do have strong service.
