Add original music from Coach audio workouts to Premium

Please do not move this to the streaming music comment thread because that is not my suggestion. I am NOT suggesting streaming my own music. Rather, I'm asking you to put your own music back where it used to be in your audio workouts. The trainers say, "let yourself get carried away by this song," when there's no song! Just fix the broken thing.
This is needed because:
The workouts clearly had music before, and it's clearly missing in some of the workouts. The coaches refer to it and it isn't there. It is an error that you should want to fix. Of course, music helps you stay on track in pacing anything: rowing, running, walking, elliptical, stairs -- really every kind of gym workout.
I'd use this: Daily

Hi @SSNomad. Thank you for sharing your Feature Suggestion with the Fitbit Community. While there are some audio workouts with music included available on the Fitbit app, I noticed this other idea about being able to stream music during Premium audio workouts. If you're interest in this idea, please support it by adding your vote so we can keep tracking this request over time.

 

On the other hand, if you're referring to something different or specific workouts, please reply back with the name of that workout, as well as more detail or specifics as this will help us to understand this idea better. We look forward to your response.

It seems to be all of the audio workouts that were transferred from Fitbit Coach. One that I used often before and after is an interval walk with coach Adrian. The music was stripped out when it was transferred. There is another interval walk/run for the treadmill that has the same. This issue was raised numerous times in the forum when the FitBit coach first ended and I guess nobody cared to fix it then. It's really the job of someone there to find all of the audio workouts with no music, but I think if you just look at the ones migrated from Ftbit Coach, you'll find a lot to start.

 

This is not the same as streaming my own music, which I don't care to do. It's already nearly impossible to find a workout I want without a search function, and then to have to find my own music too? Forget it.

I posted the same suggestion just recently and was informed that I should vote this post up the chain.  I'll do just that, but have to wonder...

Why is it taking Fitbit this long to fix the music? This post is 2 years old, and this problem still exists!  Why are there workouts in Coach that don't have music?  And why are so many of them walking workouts?  I complain about the second because Fitbit only has 17 Walking Workouts, so a lack of music makes the list even smaller!  Fix this problem Google!
