Hi @Wetherjc3 

Thanks for sharing your question about using Pandora without a smartphone.

Pandora does require an active internet connection to stream music, so any device you use would need some way to connect to the internet, whether that’s Wi-Fi or cellular data.

In general, the Pandora app is designed to run on supported platforms like smartphones, tablets, computers, and certain connected devices (for example, some in-home systems, smart speakers, or in-car integrations). Each of these implementations still relies on either Wi-Fi or mobile data to access your account and stream music.

While I can't provide recommendations for specific hardware, the key requirement is that the device must support Pandora’s app or integration and be able to maintain a stable internet connection. You can check out all the ways to listen to Pandora by visiting https://pandora.com/everywhere.

I hope this helps in your search for an alternative way to listen.
