How do I play my downloaded programme?
To make sure you're playing the downloaded version of your programme:
- Go听to My Sounds, then Downloads
- Tap the black play button to the right-hand side of the programme you want to listen to.听This will ensure you're playing your download rather than streaming the programme online.
Why are my downloads queued?听
If you're downloading several programmes at once, they will queue up and complete one at a time. You'll see the progress updating on the currently-downloading programme, while the others say 'Queued.'
Your downloads might get stuck in a queue if you're trying to download over a mobile network and haven't enabled this in the app. To听check this:
- Go to My Sounds > Settings > Download settings听
- Make sure 'Download over mobile networks' is switched on
How do I remove a downloaded programme?
- Head to the Downloads section in My Sounds
- Find the programme you want to delete and swipe it to the left <<
- Tap Delete
You can also tap Edit or the听pencil icon听in the top right corner and then the X听or bin听icon to delete downloads.
How long do I have to listen to the download?
You can download and listen to most programmes offline for 30 days after they're broadcast. The app will remove downloaded programmes at the end of this听period, so keep an eye on the expiry date of each programme you download to make sure you don't miss out.听
Some programmes are only听available for a shorter听period, or are not available to download at all. This is because we have different rights agreements for different types of programmes, for example听sporting or live music events.
Some podcasts have no expiry date, so when downloaded they are available indefinitely.听However if the download is deleted, the app data is cleared or the app is uninstalled, these will be lost.
Can I download programmes and podcasts over a mobile network?听
Yes. The option is disabled by default but can be enabled in Settings (select the cog icon in My Sounds).
听
It鈥檚 not possible to download radio programmes on the 成人论坛 Sounds app from outside the UK. This is for rights reasons.
