Fitbit is discontinuing its Fitbit connect app, leaving you with only two ways to download music to your device.
Fitbit Connect is a companion app for Mac and Windows computers. It lets you sync fitness data between devices and transfer music. Fitbit no longer recommends that users download it on its setup page.
Without access to connect, there’s no way to download music to your Fitbit without a paid subscription to either Pandora or Deezer. Fitbit says’you may be eligible for a 90-day trial’.
Fitbit devices do n’t have the option to transfer files between your PC and Fitbit device. The move does n’t affect newer Fitbit models.
Many users use their Fitbit devices to control the music they’re playing on their smartphone, whether they’re streaming music through Spotify or listening to songs already downloaded on their phone. Having access to local music files can come in handy if you’re listening to music offline or want to use your Fitbit without your smartphone.
