The increase is even more dramatic when you zoom in on the top 10 percent of songs on Pandora: So far in 2019, nearly 23 percent of these songs have what Pandora music analysts consider hushed and breathy vocals, compared with 3 to 5 percent from the 80s until 2015. Pandora is free to use on desktop computers, most mobile devices, and on certain car stereos and home listening devices. However, you will hear advertisements between songs, and can only skip songs a certain number of times per day.

If you’re a Pandora lover, we recommend making your playlists available offline. Saving a few to your phone doesn’t take up a ton of storage space on your device, and saved music can be an amazing thing to have on hand when you’re away from a data connection but in desperate need of some great tunes. The feature works on both Android and iOS devices.
These instructions apply to Pandora running any version of Android or iOS. Although Pandora offers an app for Windows 10, the Windows app does not support offline playlists.
Subscription Required
Your account must feature a paid subscription to Pandora through Pandora Plus ($5/month) or to Pandora Premium ($10/month). Check out the plans on Pandora's site. The Pandora Plus option lets you save up to four stations for offline listening; Pandora Premium supports unlimited downloading for offline listening.
How to Download Songs on Pandora for Offline Listening
If your account is enabled for offline listening, the procedure is simple. Tap the three lines located at the top left side of the app bring up Pandora’s menu. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see an Offline Mode slider. Slide that bar to the right to initiate offline mode on your device. When you do, Pandora will sync your top four stations onto your phone and make them available offline.
Using Pandora in Offline Mode
Connect your phone to Wi-Fi before you sync stations. You can download music over a cellular data connection rather than Wi-Fi, but it’s going to take a decent amount of data to get everything downloaded. If you have the option to connect to a wireless network, you should do it. You'll save some time, since Wi-Fi is faster than cellular data in most situations, as well as save some cash if you keep pressing the limits of a metered cellular-data plan.
The real benefit of Pandora in offline mode comes from your freedom to listen to music when you cannot connect to the internet. When you're on an airplane, or in an office basement, or running on the trail, you'll often lack both Wi-Fi and cellular signals. Offline Pandora saves the day by still piping the tunes you love straight into your earbuds.
If you put Pandora into offline mode manually, even when you enjoy a Wi-Fi or cellular signal, you'll enjoy your synced music without using any network bandwidth at all.
