Ideas: Restore offline downloads after reinstallation

Can y'all add a prompt asking listeners if they want to restore downloads after reintsalling the app or clearing app data? It really stinks to go through and manually redownload all my offline content.

Users have been complaining for years about the inability to mass download when switching phones, and yet developers ignore 😞

Agreed - especially if one has both phones connected to each other. Spotify doesn't force you to loose all your downloaded music!

All Pandora users should be able to get a New Phone and have "ALL" of their  music transferred to the new device. I find it incredibly behind the times that you don't already have this. So now what I'm hearing is I will have to sit down for hours and attempt to re-download all the music I currently have....... very sad  😞

Just a hunch but if they made it possible to mass transfer your offline downloaded music then it may also make it possible to transfer it to a USB storage device outside of the app which may violate copyright agreements that they have with artists. 
The way if works now is within the App -no way to download it to any other device. It kind of makes sense as it allows Pandora to monitor who is listening to what they are listening to and that allows the Artists to be paid.  Again, the only explanation I can think of.
I'll be receiving my new iPhone 17 in a few days so I will get to deal with a lot of downloading (over 4000 songs in My Thumbs Up playlist alone.)
