Will fitbit ever figure out music transfer or shoud I just move to a different ecosystem?

The Ionic is a joke when it comes to transferring music. It takes an hour to sync a podcast if the connection isn't lost during the transfer process (which it always does). I've read all the help posts, have strong wifi, restarted my devices before transferring etc. etc. I really want two things out of a fitness tracker:

1. Keep my distance and time without my phone

2. Give me music to listen to on my run without my phone.

If the product can't do 50% of what I need from it, is it even worth it? Just wondering if there is any word about fitibit getting their act together or interested in hearing other products that can do 1&2 for me.

Are you keeping it connected to a charger when doing the wifi transfer?

Yes. The music still transfers in real time i.e. a 1 hour podcast = 1hr+ of transfer time.

Honestly the music transfer function is a total joke.  It takes a LONG time to transfer music.  I simply don't use it due to this. Is this going to be addressed at any stage?

What is the file type? Regular music is compressed so it takes less time.
