Music - Max Length / File Size? Timeout for individual file?

[kaboby]

Hello!

I've got the transfer of music setup (wasn't too hard, anyone that had a zune or old school ipod, similar setup) - and I've had several playlists transferred over.

My issues comes in where I have sets from music festivals that are 98 minutes long @ 154 MB. They needed to be re-encoded to match the FitBit acceptable format as they were previously not even attempting to transfer.

The watch goes into transfer mode, the Windows 10 app recognizes it and begins the transfer. After a few minutes, all network activity to the watch ends - but the Windows 10 app still says it's transferring (although there no network activity to watch IP).

Does anyone have a fix for this? Or is there a limit to file size or file length?

Thanks!

Below is Fitbit's official word on supported file types. There's no mention of file size or how many bits encoding it will take. Also, no mention of file size, though you seem to be pushing the envelope. Hate to see you have to chop those files up just to use for the Ionic, but it may come to that. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will chime in here.

• Windows 10-
  • MP3 files
  • MP4 files with AAC audio
  • WMA files
  Mac- 
  • MP3 files
  • AIFF
  • MP4 files with AAC audio

Thanks for the info, that's actually what I ended up doing 🙂

Chopped it up into 18 individual files using mp3split (link below) and re-added them into a playlist in WMP. A bit of a goofy workaround, but it only took maybe 5 minutes once the program was downloaded.

Mp3Split

http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/home.php

Command Line (once in working directory - default is C:\Program Files (x86)\mp3split)

mp3split.exe -S 18 ATB.mp3

-S 18 :: Switch to split the source file into 18 equal parts

ATB.mp3 :: Source file (copied to the working directory)

This did not work for me... I splited in 6min files and made a list in WMP...

however the system still says "unsupported file type"

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
