Hi is this possible? I've got an iphone and don't want to shell out for an apple watch just to listen to music!
I read that it's compatible with the iPhone and you just download the android wear app from the apple store

I was just about to make the same suggestion...
Google Music or Amazon MP3 are both viable solutions. Apple stuff(not going to say iCrap, I use Macs myself) generally doesn't play well with non-apple products.

Google Music is okay. I couldn't really get the file download for offline mode to work right.
I've used iCloud for Music on my iPad and wifes phone and I really like how the file download for music not on the device works. My primary music app on my Droid is Spotify...which is almost giving me what I was hoping for. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mine downloads fine Make sure to do it through Wifi though. Are you talking about offline caching of the music or actually downloading it to your phone? You can do both with Google Music

If you have Tk's walkman app, you can use dlna to stream music from phone to windows media player. Have a look here http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&s...xYHACw&usg=AFQjCNFH62C5C2o2rLmqxnHcqEzQbPz_IA

So I was loving the look of the SW3, especially when Runkeeper released their beta version. However now I read that offline music is more difficult than it really needs to be?
Why haven't Sony got their own music player on there, surely it makes sense that a lot of people are going to want to use the watch for this?
Do you have to use Google Music or is there an alternative? Seems like everytime I decide this is the time to buy one, something else puts me off.
I use Spotify on the phone and then I control it from the watch. I have also uploaded about 100 song into the watch and tried to play it from watch to Sony SBH-20 bluetooth headphones but the sound is sometimes laggy although the distance between watch and receiver is under 1 meter. I have no another BT receiver except car radio which I was not able to connect (message Device is full - ?)
Has anybody similar issue?

I was browsing through the online manual of the SW3 and found the following tidbit:
To download a playlist using the Walkman® application
Make sure the battery level of your SmartWatch 3 is 70% or higher.
From the main application screen on your Android™ phone or tablet, find and tap Walkman.
To open the Walkman® home screen menu, find and tap Walkman.
Tap Playlists, then select the playlist that you want to download to your SmartWatch 3.
Drag the slider beside download to wearable in the appropriate direction to turn on the download playlist function. A card indicating the download progress appears on your SmartWatch 3.

My Walkman application doesn't support this yet, so probably an update of the Walkman application should take care of this.
If you sideload ES File Explorer (using the APK and ADB), you can load music using ADB and play it with the ES File Explorer built in music player, it works surprisingly well.

Hi all,
I didn't see this posted, and I don't think this is currently possible (at least no application to do it yet, seems like with root we could do anything right??) but is there a way to transfer mp3 files to the watch? I don't use Google Play Music for anything and have all my mp3s on my computer and phone. This doesn't allow them to transfer through Play Music.
Any methods on how to put mp3s on the watch to enable listening via bluetooth headphones directly to the watch?
Thanks!
Use Sony's Walkman app. You should find a download link on xperiablog.net

Thanks dude!
So how does one actually transfer the files on there? Messing with the Walkman app ti seems to be just a music player. What I am hoping to do, however, is transfer mp3s onto the watch itself and play from it directly.. (such as not needing my phone when running).
Create new playlist. This can then be synced to a Wear device (over BT).
Awesome! Thank you! Working good from my note 4!
Hey guys, i posted this question in Help & Troubleshooting as well, but figured there is more traffic here, so ere it goes again.
Does anyone know as to why would youtube open (and show an error) on my phone, when i hit play music on zenwatch?
Youtube is not my default app, i checked.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure that in the Android Wear app the default app for playing music is the the player you want to use.

Only certain music player apps have Android Wear extensions. You can try using Music Boss for Wear from the market. That will allow you watch to issue headset remote commands to any music app on Android. I used to have it for Pebble and it may be worth the few dollars if you don't want to use a Wear compatible music app.
