Taking your music offline is super useful for listening on the go without eating up your data allowance or if you’re going into dead zones. With Pandora Premium, it’s easy to download tracks and whole albums.

Pandora pioneered online radio way back in 2005. Specializing in personalized listening experiences, today Pandora offers a bunch of features making it a worthy competitor in the online streaming market.

Here’s how to take your music offline on iPhone and Android. Note, this feature is only available for those with a ‘Pandora Premium’ or ‘Premium Family’ subscription.

If you need to download your music using cellular, find the ‘Audio Quality and Downloads’ panel in settings and make sure ‘Allow downloading over cellular’ is ticked. Here you can also specify the quality of streamed and downloaded music.
