Music On Your Fitbit

Ready for on-wrist Fitbit music streaming?

The Fitbit watches listed above offer a pre-downloaded Music app. This handy application can store and play music, allowing you to access hours of content without fuss. All you need to do is pre-download your playlists and connect Bluetooth headphones.

How To Download Fitbit Music

To get started, follow these steps:

• Download the free Fitbit Connect app
• Create your playlist of songs on Windows Media Player or iTunes
• Open the Fitbit app and select Manage My Music
• Open the Music app on your watch, select Transfer Music
• Go back to the desktop app and import your playlists
• When everything is imported, tap the circle icon to start the transfer process
• Enjoy!

Note that your Fitbit device needs a Wi-Fi connection to complete this process. It’s also advised you have a full charge on your device to ensure it doesn’t switch off while downloading.

Third-Party Music Apps

Some streaming companies have partnered directly with Fitbit to ensure music streaming is easy and stress-free. If you’re not bothered about storing music on your device, make sure you have an account with one of these music providers.

The three streaming services compatible with Fitbit include Pandora, Spotify, and Deezer. Plus, once you have an account with these services, you can stream music via a smartphone app and on your computer too.

Pandora and Deezer premium users will be able to sync playlists with their Fitbit devices for offline music listening. Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t offer this yet, but hopefully, we’ll see this update soon!

Conclusion

If you love the feeling of getting active with your favorite music or podcasts, Fitbit music streaming could be for you. While there are some bugs needed to be fixed, Fitbit music is one of the more reliable options. Maybe we’ll see other streaming options in the future. We’re looking at you, YouTube music!
