@MsD-Light Nice to see you around the Community. 👋🏽

To listen offline from a mobile device:

1. Tap the Profile tab and then the Settings gear in the top right corner.
2. Toggle Offline Mode on.

Once Offline Mode has been enabled, you will see only the content in your collection that has been downloaded for offline listening.

Hope this helps!

Thank you how might one find the Offline listening option on a PC or Laptop?

[AdamPandora]

@MsD-Light The short answer is that the tracks you download will continue to live within the Pandora app, but you may listen to them offline with an Android or iOS device.

Offline Mode isn't actually available when streaming Pandora on a PC or laptop.

In other words, Pandora Premium allows subscribers to take individual songs, albums, or stations offline for listening within the Pandora app. However, it's not possible to transfer your Pandora music collection to an external music. If you're outside of our app, or you're accessing Pandora from our website or another type of device, you won't be able to view those downloads.

If you'd prefer to download music for your personal collection with a file you can access elsewhere, we recommend buying it from an online music store or authorized retailer.

Hope this helps clarify.

I am a diesel tech and sometimes my work takes me where there is no internet. How do I play my downloads?

I would like to give kudos and I was wondering if I can change the 4
stations that get downloaded to offline mode?

[AdamPandora]

@Shapeshifter44 At this time, Pandora Plus listeners cannot add, delete or swap out which stations will be available for offline listening. We know this is a feature a lot of our listeners would enjoy, so I'll pass this idea onto our product team to consider. 

In the meantime, if you're wanting to have other offline stations available to you, try listening to those other stations more (ones that are currently not on your Offline station list). Since we periodically refresh the stations that are available to you offline (based on your listening habits), we may surprise you with adding them to your list! 

Alternatively, you may consider upgrading to Pandora Premium which allows subscribers to download any station, playlist, album or song in their collection for offline listening.

Let me know if you'd like more information about upgrading.
