Hi everyone,
I bought the watch, I have a one plus phone and galaxy pro earbuds.
However, I don't have spotify or youtube premium.
I wonder how I can listen to music offine (for sports: to fo for a run).
Thanks
You can sync music from your phone to the GW4 and it will be available off line. I have a Samsung phone and have tracks on the phone. Here I use Samsung Music and it allows me to create playlist on the phone.
Then I use the Wear app and go to Watch Settings and select Manager content then select the playlist.

I have tracks on my oneplus phone, however, I cannot find the right app that matches with the samsung music app on the watch because the app cannot be downloaded on the oneplus nord. I tried several from the play store but none work. Any ideas?
Getting Samsung Music may not work.. It could be locked out on non Samsung devices.
Perhaps you can load the music manually using Wear File Manager. Here you install Wear File Manager on your watch. The app is suppose to connect to PC/phone to uploads files.
I check and the music on my GW4 and they are installed in directory Music/GalaxyWearable(/AutoSync (.m4a) and the playlist are in Music (.m3u)
good luck!

So I have been using the exercise app with my Gear 2 and I love it, my only complaint however is that I utilize Google Play Music for my song storage... I'd rather not lug my bulky Note 3 with me on a run so is there any way to transfer a playlist from Google Play Music from my Note 3 to my Gear prior to a run??? Thanks!
You may easily transfer your Google Play Music playlists using Musconv tool
I always use MusConv, you can try it. It's easy to use.
When I connect my phone to my cars Bluetooth it automatically starts playing music from Samsungs Music app. The issue is I have Google All Access so none of my music is in that app. Is there a way to have Google Music play by default when connected instead of Samsungs Music app? I checked to see if Samsungs app was set as a default but it wasn't and I can't find any auto play options, I also can't just disable the music app. Oddly enough sometimes it will open Google music and other times it will open Samsung Music even if the last time I was in the car I used Google Music.
Thank You in advance.
In the app section of your main phone settings can you pick the Samsung music app and disable it?

Unfortunately not, it's grayed out for me.
If you use a file manager app and try to play an MP3 or other type of music file, it should ask you which player to open it with. Choose Google Play Music and tap 'Always'. Then it should open GPM when you connect to your Bluetooth device.
If not, there are apps on the Play Store that will automatically launch the music app of your choice when it detects that you have connected to a specific Bluetooth device. I can't recall any specific app names at the moment, sorry.
Another option is to root and disable the Samsung music app with Titanium Backup.

The pre-installed music application of gear s2 can choose music from a list in the watch, but it doesn't show me lists of music stored in my phone.
Are there any apps to choose music in the phone from list ?
If not, someone, please make it!

I met the same problem. I didn't find any app witch the function. I wrote to author of Filesmaster to ask about adding TXT subtitles and
he promised to add it soon and he wrote me about others function he going to add to filesmaster soon. This app plays music files like smasung stock
player but have none playing lists. Author is going to add music list or/and create seperate music player.
You can write to author too and ask about this feature. I used email from Samsung Apps shop: [email protected].
Cheers!

There's not as far as I know. But you can send the songs to your watch via samsung gear app.

I just had updated Filesmaster to version 2.0. Author improved music player. It can play music files inside folder in normal way, one by one, random, lopping etc.
Looks nice. Maybe it meet your requirements.
Hello.
I have a little question regarding the music player on the gear S2. I am using the gear S2 to listen music when I am at the sports club. While doing sport, it is not easy to make a lot of manipulation on the watch. However, every time my watch is activating, it is showing the watch face. I have to manipulate to go to the music player if I want to pass a track for example.
Is there any way to display directly the music player when the watch is waking up or a watch face that would allow to directly control the music player more easily ?
By advance, thank you.

Two options:
1. Assign the home button to open Music Player when pressed twice. Settings>Device>Double Press Home Key>Music Player.
2. Use a watchface that includes a "tap zone" that opens Music Player when you tap it. I design my watchfaces to do this.
AFAIK, there currently is no ability to set the S2 to wake-up in Music Player. I have requested/complained to Samsung to include a wake-up to last used app option, and they just laughed at me and said go away pissant.

you can try Music Player S2, it got internal engine to copy any audio files to gear s2 from a phone
Thank you. Affecting the music player to the double press home key button is enough. However, to make it even more easy for manipulation during sport, i finally found and opted for bluetooth earphones that integrate full control button on it.
And yes, Samsung have one of the worst customer's service that can be imagined. It was so difficult to obtain informations about the release of their new phone in Japan... But Japanese customer seem to not forget easily. The popularity of the brand in Japan is bad enough for them to close their unique Shop in one of the bigger town in Japan. They are making great products but are really bad at communication.

Is there a way to choose a song that's in my phone's media library to play on the phone? I'm using Poweramp, but wouldn't mind moving to Samsung music or Google Play music if they have Tizen apps.

I don't know if this works with Poweramp, but you can use pre-installed mp3-player app on your Gear to control your music on your phone. At least with Google play music.
Inside mp3-player app you can choose the source with the icon on the top right.
