Fitbit Ionic features fitness guidance, health insights, music storage, apps & more. For many users, the feature Fitbit Ionic thrilled them is the ability to store music directly on it. So, you don’t need your smartphone attached when you go for a run or workout. You can store and play 300+ songs on device (2.5 GB).
If you are in the US and you have Pandora Plus subscription, you can also sync your stations to the Fitbit Ionic smartwatch. You’ve essentially had two options for music download from Pandora:. Sync your favorite stations. Choose from up to three curated workout stations So what about the users outside US where Pandora service is unavailable, for example, those users in the UK, Australia & New Zealand (Pandora has withdrawn service for Australia & New Zealand)? What about the users who love Fitbit Ionic but use Apple Music as their only music source instead of Pandora. They don’t want to subscribe Pandora only for Fitbit Ionic compatibility.
Are they out of luck? Subscribed Apple Music and want to enjoy on Fitbit Ionic Since Pandora is the only music streaming service partner of Fitbit Ionic currently and it seems Fitbit will not make agreement with Apple Music or any other music streaming service in the near future, instead of syncing the Apple Music songs directly through apps on Ionic, we can enjoy Apple Music on Ionic with another option: load the Apple Music songs stored on your Windows 10 PC or Macs to Fitbit Ionic through Fitbit Connect.
But the users who own both Apple Music subscription and Fitbit Ionic smartwatch soon find another problem when transfer Apple Music songs to Fitbit Ionic. “I have loaded some songs to my Ionic from my iTunes, however, out of the 75 songs I transferred, only 5 are playing.
I am wondering why?? I had to call tech support to assist in the transfer of this music and thought all was good to go until I started playing and only 5 songs were able to playwhat am I doing wrong?? I was hoping for an easy transition to transfer music.so far it has been a frustrated struggle.
What format should the songs be in?” To load music files on Fitbit Ionic, they must fall under one of the following audio file types: Windows 10. MP3 files. MP4 files with AAC audio. WMA files Mac. MP3 files.
AIFF. MP4 files with AAC audio But if the files have copyright protection, they most likely won’t play. That’s the problem why the Apple Music Songs won’t play on Fitbit Ionic. All streaming/subscription music services are DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected, as required by the music industry. The music industry believes you are renting music, and therefore when you stop paying you no longer can access the music.
Remove DRM from Apple Music One thing we need to do before loading Apple Music songs on Fitbit Ionic is to remove DRM protection from those songs and convert them to plain music formats, for example, MP3 files. Here are the steps: Step 1: Open Apple Music Converter, here you can choose any one you prefer from the we reviewed before. Click “Add” to load the iTunes library where would also list all your Apple Music tracks and playlist. Select the songs you’d like to add to Fitbit ionic.

Step 2: Choose MP3 or AAC as output format through the settings panel. Here we set the output as MP3 for example. Other settings such as audio quality, output folder, conversion speed you could adjust according to your needs. Step 3: Start the Apple Music to MP3 conversion by clicking “CONVERT” button on the bottom. The default conversion speed of the program is 20x. It is especially useful if you want to convert a plenty of songs. Wait until the conversion is done, find the converted Apple Music through the output folder.
Now you get the converted Apple Music songs ready, let’s see how to have a successful transfer from Win 10 PC or Mac. Transfer Converted Apple Music songs to Fitbit Ionic You will need the following: 1.
Fitbit One App For Win 10
Win 10 PC or Mac 2. Connect the computer and the Fitbit Ionic with the same Wi-Fi network 3. Must connect to a 2.4GHz frequency network (5 GHz frequency is not supported) 4. Fitbit Connect Software (Win10/Mac) must be installed, we recommend you download the latest Fitbit Connect 5. Software from Fitbit official website, some users failed with Windows Store App. Ionic battery life must be above 40% (Keep charging during the process is recommended) Note: If you are using iTunes, launch iTunes on your computer Edit Preferences Advanced Share iTunes Library XML with other applications OK.
Fitbit Ionic can only transfer music from iTunes or Windows Media Player playlist, so you need to create at least 1 playlist of songs or podcasts in iTunes or Windows Media Player before you do anything else. Import the converted Apple Music songs (plain MP3 files) to iTunes or WMP first. Follow these steps then: 1. Restart the computer and connect it to a strong Wi-Fi network whose frequency is 2.4GHz 2.
Restart your phone and Ionic, tap the Fitbit app on your phone and go to Account/Media/Manage Wi-fi Networks and remove all saved networks. Connect back to the same Wi-Fi network which computer connected. Charge your Fitbit Ionic. Tap Music app on your Ionic and then Transfer Music.
This screen will show on Ionic when connection is established. Launch Fitbit Connect (make sure you got the latest version from the Fitbit official website) and click on Manage My Music. A spinning wheel will show on Ionic screen when it tries to connect. Once connected, you can choose the iTunes/WMP playlist you want to transfer to your smartwatch on your Mac/PC. After you select the playlist, the transfer starts automatically.
The time spend on transfer varies, depending on the size of your playlist (around 6-8 minutes to transfer 1 hour of music). You’d better not choose a large playlist to avoid failure. Once transfer completed, the Ionic screen says “ Transfer Complete”, you can safely tap “End Now” on the screen. At last, connect to Bluetooth headphones like Fitbit Flyer so you can hear your favorite Apple Music songs on the go. ( 71 votes, average: 4.89 out of 5).
