Can I listen to Pandora without an internet connection?

Asked 2 years ago
Pandora Radio primarily operates as a streaming service, which means that an active internet connection is typically required to access and listen to its vast library of music. However, for users of the Pandora Plus or Pandora Premium subscriptions, there are options for offline listening. This feature allows subscribers to download select songs, albums, or playlists directly to their devices, thereby making them accessible even when they are not connected to the internet. To utilize this offline listening feature, users must first download the desired content while they are connected to the internet. Once the content is downloaded, it can be enjoyed anywhere, regardless of internet connectivity. It is important to note that the downloaded music may have an expiration period, requiring periodic re-connection to the internet to refresh the content. For specific steps on how to download music for offline listening or to learn more about available subscription tiers, users may wish to refer to the official website or app for up-to-date guidance and information.
