See watchOS 4.1's Music Streaming and New Radio App in Action

[Fatboy71]

It's some amazing features currently added to the  Watch, still I just wonder who is actually streaming music over LTE.

Once Watch OS 4.1 drops, I will be streaming music from my AW to my bluetooth earphones. Going to be so useful in the gym, means I can leave my iPhone in my locker, without risking it falling off a machine or me leaving it behind in the gym.

Literally only thing I care about- Is your library from your phone back? Could care less about apple music garbage.

I hope they never bring this back, just to piss you off.

I did that today, just sync my playlists to my watch0.

Completely agree. But you could already do this as the Apple Watch 2 provide up to 2 or so GB of ram, Apple Watch 3 even more. That’s not the same as streaming for sure, but sufficient for the gym.

Yeah realise that but I'm really wanting to be able to access all of the music I've added to my Apple Music library and also, have the ability to search Apple Music if I suddenly want to look for and or add it and listen to it from on the AW, which I believe WatchOS 4.1 will allow.

I did try and add some playlists to my Series 2, but it took far too long and it would be something I would need to do often (add different music to my AW) as I tend to get sick of listening to the same music.

Looking forward to Watch OS 4.1

Installed watchOS 4.1 beta 1 on my series 2 and iOS 11.1 beta 1 on my iPhone 7 Plus. Music app shows only the music on my watch and there is no radio app. watchOS release notes do not mention restrictions.

Apple confirmed that streaming and the radio app are for series 3 watches only.

For the non-LTE version of the series 3 as well? What about storing music, the LTE version has 16GB vs 8GB on the non-LTE version, does anyone know yet if you can store more music on it?

Yes. I believe you can essentially use up all available storage.

I have 496 songs on mine now, with 5.4 GB of storage remaining. I can’t tell you the size of those 496 but I would guess about 7 GB.
