Step 2: Go into Device Settings

In the Settings window that appears after you tap Settings, scroll to the bottom of the screen to find Device Settings. Choose it.

Step 3: Find the specifications about the tablet

In the device settings menu, there is an option with a small circular icon that says About tablet. Tap on it.

Step 4: View legal information

In the About tablet window, you can view a lot of information like Status, Model Number or System Updates. All of this information is very useful, but for the purpose of playing music, we want to go into the Legal Information option.

Step 5: Go into details with system webview licenses

With the Legal Information, there are only three buttons: Wallpapers, Open Source Licenses, and Open Source Licenses. To play music, you need to choose the System WebView Licenses.

Step 6: Choose a homepage

When you are in the WebView Licenses, you will see a list of sites that are licensed to be displayed in WebView. With each option, you will see a Homepage and a Show License option. Here, choose Homepage and you will be directed to the website of the license.

At this stage, you are nearly finished. You are now viewing a website and you can change the website address into Pandora.

Step 7: Log in to Pandora

The official address for Pandora is Pandora.com. Log in to the website, then use your account to access the music library of Pandora, and start working out.

Using Just Ride mode

A popular trick among Peloton Bike riders that they have been using is to utilize the Just Ride mode alongside the Pandora WebView trick. With the Just Ride mode, you can listen to all the music you like with no distractions from classes or instructors.

Step 1: Find the More option

It can be a bit tricky for you to find the More option as the button is located near the bottom bar of the Peloton tablet. Inside the More button, you can find access to both Scenic Ride mode and Just Ride mode.

Step 2: Choosing the right mode

Both the Scenic Ride mode and the Just Ride mode are amazing, but they are built for different purposes and needs.

With the Just Ride mode, users are able to ride the Peloton Bike without any other distractions. This means no classes, no instructors, no visuals, none of that. The only information that will be displayed are your health statistics: Output, Resistance and Cadence.

Step 3: Set your ride

In the Just Ride mode, set everything up for your run, including the levels of speed, resistance, etc.

After this, just restart from Step 1 and you can play your Pandora music while still having some sort of metrics to your workout.

Risks when streaming Pandora from your Peloton tablet

As the name suggests, the WebView is just a testing feature. It is not out for public use yet, and all of the steps are just a workaround. Therefore, please be careful about what website you view and which applications you install on your Peloton tablet.

Third party applications that are not verified by Peloton can go against the Peloton Terms of Service and will likely null your warranty program.

The Peloton devices are yours after you buy them, what you do with them is all your decision. However, remember they are extremely expensive and if you don’t proceed with caution, you may end up damaging them. If this happens, you can use the Factory Reset mode to delete applications that may have damaged your Peloton device.

Using a third party service like ViWizard

Songs in Apple Music are coded as AAC, while normal songs are coded in MP3, WAV, etc. This is a restriction by Apple to combat again piracy. However, with a third party tool like ViWizard, we can overcome this limitation. ViWizard converts AAC into MP3 so we can import the songs and playlists we want to Peloton. Here’s how:

After installing the ViWizard client, choose Load iTunes Library and then sign in using your Apple Music account. Having signed in, you can then load the tracks you want to convert to the ViWizard client simply by choosing them or dragging them over from the iTunes app.

MP3 is the best audio format if you want to import songs to Peloton as it is widely supported. You can also set other preferences like codec, channel, sample rate, bit rate etc.

Step 3: Convert

The Convert button is the shiny one down at the bottom right of the ViWizard client. After everything is set up, click the Convert button and have yourself a little bit of patience. The time it takes depends mostly on how many songs/playlists you want converted.

Step 4: Use Google Drive to play the music you have converted

After the conversion process is completed, you can transfer these songs to a Google Drive folder. Once you are done, use the WebView trick we have shown you before to log in to Google Drive. Boom! You can now enjoy your Apple Music songs on Peloton with ease.
