Music Changes in Firmware 5.0

In the info. about Firmware 5.0, it mentions these 2 improvements re: music.

Improved Music App Syncing: Syncing music downloads can now be done without plugging into a charger.
Improved Music App Auto-Syncing: Every time the watch is placed on a charger, music will be automatically refreshed.

What it doesn't mention is how these work. I would appreciate any info.

Thanks -

This relates to music downloaded from premium streaming service sources like iHeart Radio and Deezer; that have been configured to sync direct to your 5+ via WiFi. The update means the sync functionality has been enhanced. You’ll still need to plug in via USB to PC/Mac to get locally stored music to sync across to the watch using Garmin Express.

Thanks for the explanation, I was hoping it had some increased functionality for those using locally stored music also.
