Other watches will only allow you to sync music via the companion phone app, which means making sure that audio is on your phone already. Check that the watch supports your chosen service before you buy. This means you can download playlists or individual tracks to listen to offline. Many running watches and smartwatches support Spotify – and other streaming services. Key considerations Does it work with Spotify?

Many watches offer support for syncing over Spotify, Deezer, or Apple Music playlists, and most still allow you to upload old MP3s, as well. Most of the Garmin sports watch range, and smartwatches such as the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch, offer the ability to play music straight from the wrist. Whether you're looking for a Garmin watch with music or a fitness smartwatch, the Wareable team has tested every major device on the market. Anyway, nothing’s taken my fancy just yet, and being an old fogey, I in any case prefer the physical comfort of a CD to a large extent (That said, if there was something I wanted in their £3 offer, I’d be downloading it right now).The rise of running watches and smartwatches offering built-in music playback means you can go for a run without taking your smartphone with you. I can download music I’ve already bought again and again. That’s one area where eMusic has the upper hand. Obviously there may be watermarks within the audio files – I don’t know. Piracy can’t be the answer, because once I’ve got the MP3, I can do anything I like with it anyway. Since they know who you are and what your buying history is, quite why I can’t download music again after a hard disk failure or similar is beyond me. There’s plenty of variable pricing which is sensible, but one thing that Amazon, like iTunes is bad about, is allowing you to re-download music you’ve later bought. And eMusic uses a disappointing 192 kbps (again VBR).Īpple’s default AAC is at 128 kbps, so a like with like comparison isn’t direct – contrary to what you might glean from the BBC News report. Tracks are recorded as 256 kbps MP3 files – usually variable bit-rate.
They’ve got quite a lot of music on it with a claimed 3.5m tracks on there at the moment (so they’ve been busy). So the long awaited Amazon MP3 store is finally here – with just days to go until the end of the year deadline.
