Play and control music on your Samsung watch
Ready to experience the freedom of a wireless, phoneless, and practically weightless workout? If your smartwatch has a built-in speaker, you can play music right from your watch. If it does not, do not worry! All you need to do is connect Bluetooth headphones. Simply add and remove tracks to build the perfect playlist! If you prefer streaming, you can do that too with a Spotify premium account.
Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for smartwatches sold in other countries.
Note: Music cannot be exported to the Galaxy Fit.
Using the Galaxy Wearable app is the main way to export music to your watch. First, make sure the music you want to add is on your phone. Song files cannot be exported directly from a PC when the watch is connected to your Galaxy or Android phone.
Note: You may be required to grant permissions when transferring music. You will receive a notification on the watch to grant them.
Note: The Galaxy Wearable app and the Music app support MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, and WMA audio files. Third-party watch apps may support additional file formats. You cannot export downloaded music from streaming services like Spotify or Google Play. These files are encrypted.
If you have at least an iPhone 6 with iOS 12, you can use the built-in Gear Music Manager for a Galaxy Watch3, Galaxy Active2, Galaxy Active, Galaxy Watch, Gear Sport, Gear S3, Gear S2, and Gear Fit2 Pro. You will also need a computer connected to the Internet.
Note: To select multiple files, hold down the b>Ctrl key on your computer while choosing. Release the key before selecting Open.
Deleting music stored on your watch is easy like Sunday morning. And do not worry, the tracks you delete from the watch will not be deleted from your phone.
Get pumped up at the gym by playing and controlling music straight from your smart watch. You can control the music that is playing directly through your watch or your phone.
Here are the different music player controls:
- Volume control: Set the volume level.
- Switch device: Alternate between your phone and watch's playlist.
- Next track: Skip to the next track.
- Next track: Skip to the next track.
- Previous track or restart: Go back to the previous track or restart the current track.
- Library: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access your music library. On some watch models, you may have to tap the Library button to access it. Here you can view your tracks, artists, albums, and so on. This option may not appear if you do not have music files stored on the watch itself.
- More options: Tap this icon to get additional controls for your music, such as Shuffle, Repeat, Favorites, and more. This option may not appear if you do not have music files stored on the watch itself.
Notes:
- With a Galaxy Fit or Galaxy Fit2, you can use the Music Controller widget to control music playing from your phone. To access the widget, just press the Power key or Home key on the watch, and then swipe left until you see it.
- You cannot adjust the volume level or alternate playlist with the Galaxy Fit.
- You can adjust the volume of your music with the Galaxy Fit2 by swiping up twice on the widget, and then tapping + or -.
If you are listening to a music app, such as Spotify, on your connected phone, the watch's music player will automatically switch to that app. However, you can change the app you want to control directly from the watch.
To do this, open the Music app on your watch. If you see a watch icon on the music player, tap it so you see a phone icon. Now tap the More options icon (the three vertical dots), and then tap Music player.
From here, you can scroll through your audio apps and tap the one you want to control.
Note: This option is only available on select watch models.
