How to Download Songs Directly from Pandora onto Your Samsung Galaxy S3

Ever listen to Pandora and wish you could repeat the song? Or better yet,download it? It's something our Apple brethren have been able to do for a while, and now it's our turn.

We'll be using PanDown!, the first and only Pandora download client, by XDA senior member z3nful. In order for you to use this app, you will need to be rooted, so make sure you are before installing it.

Warning

Downloading songs is against Pandora's Terms of Use.

Step 1: Install and Run PanDown!

After you're rooted, simply head to the Play Store and grab PanDown. There are two versions; a free one with ads, and the paid one without. The free one works just fine, and is no different than the other besides ads.

Once installed, fire it up, grant it root access, and you're ready.

Step 2: Open Up Pandora

Now the app takes a few minutes to calibrate, so go ahead and start Pandora. I've tested this with the current version, and with the modded, unlimited skip version from devs Bad Seed Customs and Rydah805. It works great on both.

Step 3: Downloading Songs

Once you start playing songs, you'll see a list form in PanDown. The one thing this app can not do is automatically name tracks. For that reason, you have a Download button and a Play button. That way, you can listen or preview a track to identify it, so that you can properly name it.

The files will be in your Download folder, and you can play them like any other MP3. Easy!

Now, I don't condone stealing, so don't use this a way to keep from paying for music. I just use this for when I hear a song I want to play again right away. If it's something I really like and plan on playing again another day, I'll purchase the song. So, this is basically just an overblown repeat function for me, since Pandora is lacking one.

Cheers
