What the difference between Spotify and Pandora?

[Sobriety_Dash]

I was just wondering what the difference between Spotify and Pandora? What makes Pandora better than Spotify and what makes Spotify better than Pandora?

@Lou6 agree. The biggest drawback for me with Pandora is that I can't use it when I'm not in the US. I would like to be able to stream Pandora, especially in the gym, because I travel the world as an airline pilot.

@marykline Welcome to Community!

I moved your post over to the existing thread: What the difference between Spotify and Pandora?

Some of my favorite Pandora features include: being able to share my playlists with other listeners, the sleep timer, and the option to add similar songs.

We can only legally allow users to actively stream or download new content from Pandora when located in the United States. This applies to free and paid accounts on all supported devices.

If you are a Plus or Premium subscriber, you can play your downloaded content while traveling outside of the country by manually toggling the app into Offline Mode before leaving the US. 

While away, please note that your offline collection will be removed and access may be restricted if you:

• Uninstall or sign out of the Pandora app.
• Toggle the app to Online Mode. 
• Are unable to establish a connection via a US Wi-Fi or mobile network within 30 days.

Hope to see you around the community space more often.
