Hi

 

I'm new here and I'm looking for alternative to Spotify. Pandora seems great. What I did love about Spotify is if I was say listen to music on my PC I could control it on my mobile device it would allow me to play it on one device and control it on the other is that possible with Pandora?

@Stuart310 Welcome to Community!

It's not currently possible to switch from the mobile app to computer. If you'd like to listen on your computer, you'll need to first pause on the mobile app. However, you're welcome to submit a new idea.

We really appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing your ideas.

@Stuart310: Thank you for responding to @LeonPandora with the switching from mobile to computer. As the question from Leon had a specific "switching" procedure involving one's mobile-device's control of Pandora's app on one's computer. I have a related question.

I'm new to Pandora Community interaction. I have a Pandora account on my Mac computer. I use it seldom on that computer. My desire would be to listen to Pandora on my mobile phone AND my computer — just not simultaneously and not with my mobile controlling my computer.

MY QUESTION: Can I listen to Pandora on my phone AND on my computer with a single Pandora account? I'm asking that in an either-or situation, whereby only one or the other platform is using my account to listen at the same time. I have other versions of the question but I'll withhold them for your benefit.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hi @JCBa , thanks for your question.

Yes, you can sign into the same Pandora account on any computer or supported device, as long as you use the same email address and Pandora password, or in other words, you can log in in any and as many devices you want with the same account.

However, you won't be able to listen to that same Pandora account on multiple devices at the same time.

Unlike broadcast radio, which all drivers hear in the car at the same time, each internet-connected device used to access Pandora receives its own unique stream of personalized music. Similar to other online streaming services, our music licenses limit our ability to stream from a single account on more than one device at a time. As a result, your subscription to Pandora Plus, Pandora Premium, or Pandora Premium Family will only cover the cost of one stream to one device (per Pandora account).

For now, the only way to get the same stream to play in different locations is to play Pandora using a system that groups multiple speakers through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or a wired connection. Some examples of these systems include Sonos, Chromecast, and Amazon Alexa devices.

I hope this helps. Please feel free to reach back out if you have any further questions!
