Android: Only One Song Plays in Offline Mode

Fikl
Local Performer

I press 'download' on the station and leave the App open until the station is finished downloading. When I go to switch to offline mode only one song is available.

This happens with every station. What I've noticed is that when the station is downloading 'User Data' is increasing, but when the station finished the download everything is wiped aside from the one song. It will go from 20mb to 95 then drop down to 25 (example).

So far I've tried clearing both cache, reinstalling the app, re-downloading stations. Nothing has worked as of yet.

Device: Pixel 6 Pro (currently 100GB+ of free space). Updated to the latest version.

Pandora Update (05/25/2022): Thanks for your feedback around this. It appears that some folks are still experiencing this issue after signing out / signing in. Please trying clearing the app data to see if this helps. Other folks have reported that this resolves the issue. 

From your Android Settings, please try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you):*

  1. Open your device Settings
  2. Tap Apps
  3. Scroll down to find Pandora

Keep in mind that the steps for each Android device is slightly different. If you have a Pixel, you can check out Google's help page for steps on how to clear space on your device.

Please note that you will be asked to log into your account after completing these steps.

*Pandora Premium and Premium Family listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after this. Pandora Plus users, however, should receive that offline content again automatically. If you have any trouble with your offline stations after this, please let us know.

@pantsmanpsc To clarify, is the issue that your station downloaded for Offline Mode is only repeating the same track over and over again?

If not, can you please send me a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

I am having the same issue.  Downloaded station to phone.  Go to listen on offline mode.  Only one (same) song is available that plays from the entire station.  This is the case for every station downloaded and on two different android model phones.  Downloaded playlists, albums, and individual songs will play.

Same issue here with a Pixel 5.  Can I get an email reply when this issue is fixed also?

Can't specifically answer for the OP, but yeah.  There is only one song in offline mode for stations downloaded.  Even if the "next" button is selected, the same song plays again, and again.

Thank you very much for  you relying. So I check it's not Storage problem. Tried the second option, turn off and on my offline mode. When I go to my Station and hit the "Download" button, it refused to download any music. The error message was "You must be a Pandora Premium subscriber to listen offline."

I used to be able to listen to my music offline for years with the same Plan. Suddenly all of my previous download music disappear a week ago. Now every time I play a station offline. It will play one song and keep repeat that same song over and over forever! Look forward to hearing from you or anyone with solutions.....many Thanks!!
