Fitbit Versa 2 music transfer on web/mobile

[SONIC122]

I want to use my Fitbit versa 2 as an MP3 player. but I have no access to a windows 10 machine. I don't think it would be very hard to develop a webpage to transfer music to Fitbit. it would just be the software as a website and it should have all the same functionalities as the software just online for Chromebook users. this would be so appreciated by many users as many have stated they are users of chrome OS and not windows 10. or release an update making the versa 2 show up as an external drive when connected to a computer in the dock. this would completely eliminate the need for the software altogether, as any PC with a file manager could use the Fitbit as a drive to transfer music to. this would be helpful to most thank you.

I'm not very good with coding or firmware or things like that, but I don't think it would be very hard to release an update making it to where you can connect the Fitbit dock to a computer, put the Fitbit in the dock, and have the Fitbit show on the computer as an external drive. many people have stated that it takes too long to connect wirelessly and it would almost eliminate the need for this music transfer tool altogether. it would be faster and appeal to more users.

but if this were to happen, it depends on the hardware. let me explain. there are 4 pins on the Fitbit dock, a positive and negative for charging, and the other two, well I'm not sure, most likely they are for data transfer, so this would have been thought of when this was designed or 4 pins would not be there, only 2!

It will never happen - the clue is that all the newer models no longer allow personal mp3 downloads at all - the method you suggest makes a lot of sense but no one is going to spend much time or money to improve an older device - with this was not true.
