Downloading content for travel


Listen Later

Marty and Will check up on his travels and talk about how and what to download content to take with you when you travel.


General Tips for Offline Entertainment • Download Before Departure: Always prep your content the night before traveling while connected to Wi-Fi.

• Check Storage: Make sure you have enough storage space—especially for video and map files.

• Use Cloud/Device Syncing: Sync across devices if using multiple ones—e.g., download audiobooks on both your phone and tablet.

• Think Diversely: Mix media types—movies, podcasts, books, games—for flexibility depending on your energy or mood.

• Use Airplane Mode Early: Test downloaded media while still on Wi-Fi to make sure it’s accessible offline.
