I’ve downloaded music to my watch, my earbuds are connected, I can listen to a podcast using playrun but there is no option to access my downloaded music. Am I doing something wrong, or is this feature not available?

Hello 6837968
I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with this. There are a few things to consider.
Where is the music being downloaded from? Is this music you own? Or music from a premium subscription…
The app appears as an option in the music controls but there seems to be no option to select another source.

Managing Audio Content on My Watch Using Garmin Express
Loading Music to a Garmin Watch
Use these steps to listen to your downloaded music:
Is the music you are trying to load supported? Your Garmin watch will not support Apple Music. Additionally below is a link with supported file formats. You will want to ensure if this is your downloaded music, that the files are not rights protected as well.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
The music is some that I own, downloaded from my laptop as a mixture of .m4a and .mp3 files using GARMIN Express. On reconnecting the watch using Express I can see that they are present in the memory.
Additionally I have downloaded the playrun app and am able to listen to podcasts. The app appears as an option in the music controls but there seems to be no option to select another source.
Thank you.

This should now give you access to any downloaded music on the watch.
