Coming from Versa 2. Love the music app. Main reason I use the watch - running without a phone, gym is the same.

 

Now I got my Sense. 

No Music App. Deezer is there, requires a sub for £10/month. Still not possible to upload my own MP3s to the watch. Does anyone know a way around this? Has FitBit gone nuts? Smartwatch that doesn't allow for file playback?

 

Yes, Deezer allows you to upload your own MP3s to the service. Guess what though? 

Deezer/Fitbit will actively block you from syncing a playlist with your own music on. There's even a paragraph on how that is not allowed.

 

ANyone else think this is crazy? I will be returning my watch immediately if there's no solution...

Shame because otherwise I like it quite a bit.

Hi @MusicFan88 unfortunately there is no way to transfer your own music to Sense/Versa 3.  It only works with Pandora or Deezer and Spotify merely acts as a remote for your phone.

I heard a bit ago when everyone was talking about the pre-orders that you were not going to be able to use offline music with the sense.  A lot of the Ionic users were rather upset.  I have just been running without my music and trying to get a better sense of how my body is reacting during different parts of my run and run by feel.  I'd like a feature to be added to have our own music and as an IT person, I know there has to be a way, but I don't want to void a warranty lol. following this thread in hopes of a solution.

This design decision is unbelievable!

 

I applaud the decision to add on board GPS so I don’t need my phone... and then they take away my music so I now need my phone again...WTF!

I'm very upset. THis makes absolutely no sense to me. UNLESS it's about money which it probably is. Some exclusive deal with Deezer?

I was about a click away from pre-ordering when I noticed this problem as well. I will be keeping my Ionic for a while. I complained to Fitbit about this issue. It can kill their sales. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.

This is for me also a bad decision.

I like to listen to my music that I bought online and not subscribe on other services.

It seems like Fitbit takes away our freedom of choice!

Not crazy, read the reviews and specs before buying a device.

I am livid!!! I bought my Sense after the Ionic recall. Ponied up and got the best, what a waste of money. Not being able to music on it is the worst decision. It's the main reason I have ever owned a fitbit. Don't need to go running with a brick in my pocket. Very unsatisfied with my purchase.
