Pandora moderators have been responding to this concern for at least 4 years. You all must be getting tired of hearing from users about this having to say "At this time Plus listeners cannot ...." When will be the time? You are maybe even more frustrated with your dev team (or marketing team!) not coming up with an acceptable solution to this. I feel ya. If it isn't clear, I am also frustrated that we don't have the chance to modify the downloaded stations for offline mode. Let me try to give you some ammunition to discuss this with the powers that be. Your marketing material for Plus tier can easily be misinterpreted. Knowing now what you actually offer for Plus tier there is nothing "wrong" per se with the words used but they are easily misinterpreted. Think about it this way. If you said, "For Plus subscribers, we automatically choose up to three of your most-listened-to stations since you first created your Pandora account, perhaps stations listened to decades ago and never since, (along with Thumbprint Radio) as your only offline listening stations. And you don't get to change which stations we chose." Do you think many people considering Plus tier would find that attractive? First it accurately sets expectations which in some small way is a positive, but overwhelmingly this is off putting. No wonder it isn't stated clearly up front (and I don't mean in fine print). If marketing knows better than to state the reality, then it should know better than to create this limitation in the first place. It feels like bait and switch, because it is. This is detrimental to the Pandora brand. Please study why your users listen to music. I would suggest there are at least two broad catagories. One is we listen to music as the backgroud to our lives. Think soft rock music. Think Christmas music. Think soft jazz. The other is we listen to specific artists, genres, or eras of music to suit our mood at the time. If the algorythm is to select "most listened to stations" then you are going to mostly select music from the background music category. I got Plus over the Christmas holidays when I had been listening to a lot of a Christmas station and low and behold, I now have that Christmas music station as one of my downloaded offline stations! What am I supposed to do for the rest of the year?  The solution to upgrade to Premium is disingenuous. If I wanted to pay for Premium in the first place then I would have.  I could go on, but I've given you (Pandora) enough free marketing advice.  NOW IS THE TIME to revisit this. Get your Dev team and Marketing team together and put some honest effort into making this work better.  I like Pandora and I've resisted the advice of others in my sphere who have encouraged me to move to Spotify. Throw me (and all the other Plus listeners who find this situation absurd) a bone here! ... View more
