Spotify offline support now rolling out
-
@olymay What I did is after starting the playback on the watch before going out I had a cellphone nearby and I toggled shuffle in so that it impacted the playback on the watch as well. Probably it is similarly workable for repeat function too

Oh, that’s an interesting workaround!

A bit of good news. It seems YT Music will make its way to older devices as well.

I saw this last night. I am hoping it will come to the S7 soon.
Although It’s unlikely I will use it due to battery drain, it’ll be a nice to have (and arguably something we should never have been without!).

I got a Spotify update a couple of weeks ago, but offline playback wasn’t available at first.
However, when I checked again yesterday, it had appeared (no new app update, so it must have been a server-side change).
It’s very basic, but it works. I downloaded a playlist and did a quick test—it seems fine so far.
One major limitation I’ve noticed is frustrating: you can download a playlist and play it, but you can’t shuffle it. Playback has to be in order. You can pick where to start, but it will continue sequentially.
I like shuffling my music so I never know what’s coming next.
Later, I’m going for a short 7km run and will test leaving my phone at home to see how it affects battery life. I usually don’t listen on this route, but I’ll turn it on with the volume very low
