Can I transfer my playlist to Ionic with Pandora Prime?

[Gypsierunner]

Does anyone know if a subscription to Pandora Prime allows personal playlists to be transferred to my Ionic?  This music feature has been nothing but a nightmare🤯.  I don’t use Apple music, although I have an iPhone and a MacBook.  Not a techie...need someone to dumb it down for me...thanks! 😉

Did you ever get an answer to your question about step by step instructions?  

[SunsetRunner]

Nope - because the answer is we can't, I'm guessing. This sucks. Had I done this when I first bought it I would have returned it immediately, as I am not interested in Pandora's music - I want MY running playlist. This blows. 

[Gypsierunner]

Ugh...so frustrated with this.  Hopefully they’ll come up with a solution

I just returned the **ahem** thing. Too much work for what I would get out of it. I have Pandora on my phone and MapMyRun - that will do just fine and always works.

Seems as if so many of us have issues with this **ahem** thing...I’m well past the point of returning it, I knew I should have.  The Versa doesn’t seem to be working much better either.  Ugh🙈

Hey everyone. Just wanted to jump in here to provide some clarity. 

You are able to upload your 3 of your most-played Pandora stations or choose up to 3 popular Workout stations to download to your watch. If you have Thumbprint Radio on your Pandora account, it also downloads to your watch regardless of which option you choose.

As of right now, Pandora playlists (auto-generated or thumbs up) are not able to be uploaded on your watch. 

For step by step instructions on how to upload your favorite Pandora stations to your watch, check out this article. Please note, that this process is completed using Wi-Fi. 

For more information on managing current Pandora playlists on your watch, check out these tips. 

Hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, you know where to find me.

Thanks but unfortunately it doesn’t help.  I think I’m speaking for the majority who purchased Ionics so we could listen to our OWN PLAYLISTS and not some radio station. I think we all have gone back to running with our phones🙈

[Gypsierunner]

Thanks for the support!  Not sure what all the Pebble talk is about...I’m totally not a techie but I’m so tired of the responses being just instructions on how to transfer “my 3 favorite stations”...ugh...who listens to radio stations anymore?  😩

@Gypsierunner Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry for any confusion regarding playlists and Pandora.

To clarify, you can certainly transfer your personal playlists to Ionic. However, this process is separate from your Pandora Plus subscription. 

As @SilviaFitbit mentioned, here, you can download your own personal playlists using iTunes or Windows Media Player by following the step by step instructions detailed in this article. 

Please note, that this must be music that you currently own (MP3 & MP4) and is not DRM encrypted.

Currently, you can’t transfer songs you downloaded through paid streaming services such as Apple Music and Microsoft Groove. However, if you have a paid Deezer subscription, you can use the Deezer app to download playlists to your watch.

If you run into any problems when attempting to upload your playlists, this post has some great tips and tricks (including requirements) on how to successfully complete the process. 

Hopefully this helps you to get your personal playlist up and running on your watch!

Exactly - I do not want Pandora's canned music. 

[Gypsierunner]

Thanks....I did have the paid Deezer app for a bit, transferring music took hours to complete and I’ve been using Napsters paid service for years and had a ton of music on my phone as I don’t use my MacBook for music at all.  The Ionic should be compatible with other music services.

I would suggest to try MusConv.com tool.

[Gypsierunner]

Thanks...I’m not very tech savvy and have decided to get an IWatch😉
