To edit a playlist, you need to open my collections and then click on the name of the playlist which you want to modify or make specific changes. After that, click on the Edit button, located below the playlist.

  • To remove specific tracks from your playlist, you need to scroll down the screen and click on the cross (x) icon next to the songs which you want to remove from your playlist, or you can try swiping the song title from right to left, that will also remove the track from the playlist.

Downloading a playlist

Some specific mobile devices allow the feature of downloading playlist. If you want to download tracks from My Collection, tap on the download icon located below the song. You need to know that only a few tracks are eligible to download, not all the records.

You can stop the track from downloading by simply clicking the download icon again, and it will stop your download progress.

If your track is not fully downloaded and you lost your connectivity, Pandora will save the partially download song, and after gaining signal, it will continue downloading the song from where it stopped.

Sharing a playlist

You can share any playlist to another user no matter what subscription level you are on. Your Pandora profile should not be private; it should be set to the public to share the content with another listener. To change your profile settings, open the app settings, and modify your profile from private to public.

You can also visit online on the Pandora site if you’re facing problems regarding sharing content with another user.

Radio only tracks

The Majority of the tracks in your collection will be allowed to play without any specific restrictions; you may come across some tracks that are tagged with ‘radio only.’ You are not permitted to play these labelled tracks offline and download it in your playlist.

But you can start a new station by searching that specific song or track, and Pandora will show you some results similar to it.

Conclusion
