Download music on Ionic without a computer

[Navyvoce]

Tiny rant:

     After subscribing to Pandora Plus or Premium, it allows you to download the top playlists. Why can’t this same program/app be setup with Apple/google music so music can be downloaded without a computer? It seems like a frustrating and unnecessary step?

Welcome on board @Navyvoce, it's nice to see you here! Your idea is great. I was making some research and was able to find these ideas asking for the same:

• Apple Music streaming for Ionic and Versa
• Allow Music transfer from phone
• Google Play Music App Ionic/Versa
• Amazon Music

Please cast a vote for these ideas and leave a comment to show support for them.

I believe the words you are looking for are tiresome and exceedingly cumbersome - not to mention supremely outdated.  This is the single biggest gripe I have about the Ionic and probably Versa as well. There is NO reason to involve computers in this process in this day and age. Not to mention, it takes literally hours for it to download and I don't have that much music.  Fitbit needs to step up their game here.

I am trying to download my music to my iconic from google play music. It keeps telling me I have to use my computer, I do not have any music on my computer? Any suggestions

Hello @bquerraz

It is simply impossible at the current stage. Please also notice that even if you had a computer you should first download your songs from your Google Play Music library (obviously only your own file and not those that are you streaming), create a playlist (I actually had to install iTunes for this particular reason since I found it the most reliable) and then use the Fitbit Connect app to sync it.Phew!

Thank you! I guess I'll go get to work.
