[Wear OS] Offline Music on Wear OS devices

Please add offline music support to the wearable without need to be connected to the main phone /tablet.

Eg Bluetooth headphones connected to my smartwatch listening to music while I'm running.

This is now supported by the watch OS http://officialandroid.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/jogging-and-jamming-with-android-wear.html?m=1

Hey everyone,

 

Thanks for all the support you’ve shown in this idea and for the feedback since the roll-out began.

 

We’ve thoroughly relayed and discussed it with the Wear OS team and wanted to make a quick update on things you can expect to see first.

 

Regarding shuffle options, we’re happy to say that this feature is ready and will be gradually rolled out.

 

Separately, we can also confirm that the app keeps some info stored in order to reduce data usage. This includes previously played and downloaded content, which gets cleared when it hasn’t been played for a while. To offer the same amount of control as on the mobile app we’ll provide an option to manually clear the cache from the Settings menu.

 

Finally, we hear you on the point that the Spotify interface on your wrist should have the same Your Library as on other devices and have the same playlists available. If you don't see it already, you will soon.

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts as we develop the Wear OS experience. We’ll keep you posted on any new updates, as soon as there are any.


Take care!

Another person here trialing Google Play Music - price seems similar, and it means I don't have to hold my phone around the gym. Very long time Spotify subscriber so hoping to stay!

I'm hoping the recent partnership with Playstation will help to move this along.

Why would this partnership affect it. Spotify just needs to make an app

Just came to say that I'm going back to Google Play Music.

Nice app, good service, but the lack of good Android Wear support, Chromecast, Cast for Audio, Google Sign-In, etc. got annoying. And starting today Google supports Cards in Google Now with Playlists from Spotify. I don't know, it makes Spotify look petty/greedy.

I'm so tired of Spotify's way of thinking, just thinking about the average use cases. Where's the goodwill??? Look and learn from Netflix that pleases all their customers, just not the average users.

Sunckist
Yes, please make this happen!

Would also love to see this happen! I have just ordered a Sony Smartwatch 3 for running, but I'm not looking forward to run without Spotify.

I hope this will happen soon since I was thinking about buying an android wear watch with GPS to keep track while running and it would be most welcome to be able to listen to Spotify from it too.

Love the Sony 3 watch
