Wondering if it is possible to transfer music out of the Pandora Downloader app into the native music app or into iTunes ????
 
Is there a way to get higher quality downloads from Pandora Downloader? They were something like 100kbps and that's too low for me to actually put in my iTunes.

Go into pandora settings and select advanced-Higher quality audio
 
Pandora has awful sound quality. If you have iTunes Match, I suppose there might be a way for the songs to get matched and then you can download 256Kbps through the cloud
 
Just get Pandy. You choose if you want to download the song and if you do it automatically imports into your iPod then when you sync your phone it imports into itunes
 
now that iOS 7 is out...

There are not that many alternatives to support what the OP wants to do.

However, I do have iTunes Match and have been able to transfer downloads from Pandora downloader to my native iPod library. iTunes Match does not match these songs, because they are in the wrong format.

Is there a way to transfer music to iTunes Match using Pandora Downloader somehow?

Currently running an iPhone 5 on iOS 7.0.4 with Pandora Downloader and Bridge installed and I am subscribed to iTunes Match.

My solution is to use cyberduck to transfer the low quality mp3s onto my computer, then use Music Converter Pro from the Mac App Store to send them to itunes in 256kb/s quality as AAC files. iTunes Match automatically uploads them, it's pretty efficient and it's just like buying them from the iTunes Store. Great way to get free itunes quality songs.
 
I use bridge from cydia or you can use ifile to replace the directory in mewseek and have mewseek transfer it to the iphone library.


I use mewseek. Mewseek is nice because it automatically puts all the song information in for you along with album art. However, you can't transfer it from your app to Itunes as far as I know.
 
Pandora Downloader + iFile + Audio Explorer+ will do it.


Download the song via pandora downloader, use ifile to rename it from SongName.mp3 to SongName.aac and then use AudioExplorer+ from Cydia to import into the native music app. It will then sync to iTunes w/all album art etc.

Cool. How much is audioExplorer+? Also is there a certain repo you have to add for it?
 
When I import a song into the audio player, I get two versions of it--one without album art opens not playable. Anyone else experience something similar?

Yeah, I'm experiencing that as well. I just delete the greyed out one by sliding left on it.
 
So I realized today you can't delete the grated out version. Anybody know how?
