    not a feature the vertical needs. Better to use ressources on the sports features and not these kinds of gadgets

      Yeh - sorry; wrong device. I’m still new to this forum and I was commenting on the general topic of ‘Offline music player’ (or lack there of) rather than this specific device…

        No you don’t need to be sorry, it’s typical suunto target audience.

        Anyway, welcome to Suunto community forum

              @Egika Back in the mid 2000s the software team I led added MP3 and Audible book support to a portable automotive GPS. It was quite a bit of work… I do not miss embedded device software development with an RTOS. I spent about 12 years developing software for embedded RTOS devices. It was fun, don’t get me wrong. But I much prefer these days working on Linux for SoC design and development.

                  @esca233 So we have to use some third-party apps to convert Spotify to MP3 otherwise, Spotify is not supported on Suunto Watch.

                    I was a big SuuntoFan but changed to Garmin due to several Software bugs and Features Suunto promised to have but after waiting for months and nothings nothing changed.

                    I would now immediately change back to Suunto but the onliest thing that stops me is that the Race (or any Suunto watch) does not have music stored on the watch. I dont want to go running with my smartphone !!! Wo runs with a heavy smartphone??
                    It’s like going to swim with stones in your pockets. Makes no sense…

                    Waiting for this function to finally change back to Suuno. I would change also just for the app. Way better 🙂

                      @kl-peintner I run with my phone, an Apple 13mini. Garmin implementation of Apple Music is worse than horrible! I am unsure whether any current hardware will have music storage. There is a lot of mixed opinion on this. Playing music and streaming to headphones has a major battery hit and Suunto has worked hard to optimize battery life. The only Suunto with music storage is the Suunto 7, which was a WearOS watch, my experience with music storage on that watch was better than Garmin but not by much.

                        Even if I was once a mp3 man, one must admit that this age is over. And I don’t want to listen to the same music all the time.
                        Streaming is now the use.
                        Unless we got OTA music listening with awesome battery (I mean that would not affect exercice battery life) I beg that we never got music on our suunto’s.
                        If I want to listen to music I take my phone and my wings. I use a belt the phone doesn’t move at all.

                          Other manufacturers have figured out how to have playlists imported from Spotify or Apple music and streamed from the device. A simple manual update or sync keeps the playlists updated and fresh.

                          It’s a bit of a laugh that Suunto can’t implement even basic mp3 support, let alone syncing capabilities at this stage when you can find the functionality in even $20 devices these days.

                            other manufacturers might focus on smart watch features while Suunto apparently focuses on adventure and multisport features (thank you for that, Suunto)

                              @freeheeler @Tieutieu @Roox911 I think Suunto choose to put forth what their core demographic wants. I have seen it time and time again where companies dilute their products and it becomes a “jack of all trades, master of none” scenario.

                              I look at the Suunto 7 which did not meet mine (and I bet most) expectation of an adventure/sport watch. It was way too similar to a galaxy pixel watch in features to stand out. Well, Suunto killed it, went back to “its roots” with the Peak 9/Vertical/Race.

                              To me they are like a good restaurant that focus on a few dishes but executes well on all of them.

                                Offline playback from Spotify is mandatory. Full stop.

                                  @outdoorrama Yeah that’s why we are lucky to already have it on so many devices that we don’t really need it on our outdoor watch 🙂

                                    @Zdeněk-Hruška You don’t have to like it, but it is a must criterion for many potential consumers. And it has to be included in the expensive top-of-the-range models. Otherwise there is a (justified) feeling that the manufacturer is not keeping up with software development. 😁

                                      @Zdeněk-Hruška PS For me, this is an indicator of problematic developments at companies. Not a statement in the sense of focussing. If it were, the inadequate turn-by-turn navigation would have been fixed long ago. Because that is the core.

                                        @outdoorrama I believe that there are many much more important functions which could be implemented into the watch (and many improvements) and which many more people would prefer rather than a music playback. It could be there, of course. But it’s definitely not “mandatory. Full stop.”

                                          @Zdeněk-Hruška As a new user with a developer background, I was simply disappointed by many things in the Suunto clocks in terms of usability and functionality (a view from the outside, so to speak). Since this thread is about MP3, my statement was accordingly clear. But I personally don’t need music and I agree with you that there are more important tasks.
