I have a small Delphin player that I use for listening to my downloaded playlist while running. It uses the Pandora app and to save on the battery I disable the WiFi. Recently I noticed that the number of songs was dropping and I could not reload them. I enabled the WiFi and tried downloaded them again. They would not download. The problem started after about 30 days without connecting to the WiFi. After trying a lot of things I eventually uninstalled and reinstalled the Pandora app on the Delphin. I then logged back in to Pandora and I was able to reload the playlist.
I found this note below on the community about the 30 day rule. So I'm trying to better understand the process of deleting the playlist contents. Here is my understanding, please advise if this is correct.
the 30 day rule is intended to delete downloaded content to prevent it from being kept forever if a user cancels their subscription
when a song is downloaded it starts a 30 day countdown to be deleted
each song seems to have it's own countdown timer for deletion
QUESTIONS: what is the proper procedure to keep this from happening again or recover if it does.
Is simply re-activating my WiFi on the Delphin before the 30 days enough to prevent the songs from being deleted? In other words will the Pandora app automatically re-establish my subscription is active? Or do I need to do something else?
After re-enabling WiFi when the songs were already gone, should I have been able to download the playlists again? Or if it happens again, to I need to uninstall and reinstall the Pandora app each time?
Do I need to log out and back in from the Pandora app on the Delphin every 30 days to keep from having the songs deleted? The note below seems to indicate this will delete my playlist.
Thanks...Al
