can't figure out music on the watch please help

[razmonster]

I'm a bit confused with the music situation

I've never uploaded/activated my music into iCloud music as I hate iTunes match (it replaces my special or remixed versions of songs without asking)

do I have to save tracks and create playlists from Apple music by activating iCloud music in order to sync to watch?
is that how it works?

also is there a way to search top charts? i know i can ask siri to play a particular artist or album but there's no way to see top charts by genre? like in the regular music app?

how much space does iCloud music have for you to save tracks?

are they actually downloaded to the phone and then to the watch or is does the watch just stream whatever you've 'saved' on your ios music app?


thanks for insight on this

no, u can add music on ur mac too if u have icloud music on.

On your phone or mac u should see top charts but I dont think this is available in apple watch unless u somehow save it to your playlist or something.

no i don't want to asd music into my iTunes with iCloud music because like o said iTunes match will mess it up

yeah the top charts is what i was really trying to figure out on the watch
