Posted on  by

Spotify, the famous music streaming service has released an official Apple Watch version on Nov. 13, 2018, but don't expect too much from this first incarnation. Currently it only allows you to control music playback on your phone or another connected device, such as a smart speaker from your wrist. The Apple Watch itself won't play Spotify music, even though your Watch is connected to Wi-fi/cellular and Bluetooth headphones. Currently Apple's API for watchOS 5 doesn't permit third-party apps to use direct cellular or Wi-Fi streaming.

Spotify Premium subscribers can sync playlists for offline listening that contain tracks from Spotify’s streaming music library. If you’re a Premium subscriber, you don’t need to worry whether a playlist contains a song you don’t actually own as a digital file because Spotify syncs it for you as long as it’s in the Spotify music database. Okay first of all have your Spotify Desktop App opennow drag the files from your computer to the App and put them on 'Local Files' left bar of the app. After you've transfered everything there create a new Playlist name it. Get all the tracks you want to be on your iPhone from Local Files (select multiple by holding Ctrl on keyboard while clicking tracks) Be sure your phone is.
