I’ve been trying to find a bog standard music player for Apple Watch, something that just plays my own music during workouts from playlists, outside of the streaming services. So far I haven’t found one.
Is this because
- A) I missed one that exists?
- B) Nobody else wants one, or
- C) For some reason making one is impossible or at least very very hard
To me it seems like eg the Overcast app is proof that an mp3 player would also be possible, so my guess is it’s B).
While I don’t have a third party app to suggest, I wanted to let you know the following:
If you already have your personal music on your iPhone in the music app (or: you imported the mp3 files via iTunes or purchased them through iTunes) you can go to the watch app -> music -> add music… and select which albums should be stored on your watch.
You probably already knew this but if you didn’t you should give it a try.
