There’s a couple different ways to get music onto the Fitbit Versa. One is to sync music from your computer and the other is to sync music from one of two currently supported paid streaming services, Pandora and Deezer. We really only need to be able to rotate pages, delete pages, and divide multiple-page pdf's into separate documents. When I google it, I am bombarded by tons of crapware, and many are fairly pricy given my needs. We've got several PC's in our office running windows and I am looking for a rough equivalent of OSX's Preview app. Acrobat reader won't let you do this and save the changes. Preview equivalent for windows 10 free. Deezer is apparently big in Europe. These tips should also work for the Ionic as well since the Versa and Ionic run the same software. [Read:| ] Only entire playlists can be synced to the Versa so you can’t pick and choose which songs you want to send over unless you create a playlist. With Pandora, you have the option to download pre-built Fitbit playlists or have your top stations automatically sync over when your Versa is charging and Wi-Fi is on (assuming your phone is nearby with the Pandora app on it). For the cheaper $4.99/month Pandora plan you can sync up to 3 playlists. The Fitbit app is only supported for iPhone and iPad models. On the laptop models, you can download the Fitbit Connect software from our own website. The Fitbit Connect software should let you sync your trakcer to your account. Apple plans to remove Fitbit from Apple Stores after company said it has no plans. Which makes it easy for iOS users to track all of their fitness data in one app. Put your old MacBook charger to good use with an AnyWatt MS power adapter. To sync from your computer, you’ll need to download the appropriate (Windows or Mac) Fitbit Connect app to your computer and then plug the Versa in using its charging dock to your computer’s USB port. The files aren’t transferred by USB though. They’re transferred by Wi-Fi so before you try to sync your music, go into the mobile Fitbit app and make sure that Wi-Fi is set up and actually connected. Making sure Wi-Fi is Connected. Now fire up Fitbit Connect on your computer () and connect your Fibit if you haven’t already. If you don’t already have a playlist created you’ll need to do so. More than one playlist can be transferred and I believe the Versa will store up to about 350 songs. I created my playlists through iTunes on my MacBook. Uh oh, those dreaded red triangles DRM-encrypted files in iTunes In my case, since my iTunes account is ancient, most of the tracks still have DRM-encryption. ITunes used this format to prevent illegal sharing and these types of files will not transfer over to the Versa or Ionic unless they are converted to MP3 or another supported format. Wired has an on how to convert DRM files and there are also apps that will do it for you. I’m not going to bother doing this right now but probably will in the future. Just be aware that this could be a problem for you if you’re using iTunes. Click on Manage My Music Fitbit Connect App Once you click on Manage My Music in the Fitbit Connect app the available playlist from iTunes will show up. Playlists (After the transfer had completed) Important Step: You’ll also need to click on the Music app on the Versa (or Ionic) and then select Transfer Music. This lets the app find your watch and transfer files by Wi-Fi. From here, it’s pretty straightforward. Just select the playlist you wish to transfer over and the transfer process should begin. Tip: After I successfully transferred the playlist from my computer when I tried to listen to one of the songs on the Versa, a message appeared telling me that Wi-Fi downloading was still going on in background, which it wasn’t. If this happens to you and you’re sure downloading was successful, just restart the watch by holding in the left button and the bottom right button. When it starts back up, the message should disappear. Transferring Songs Using Pandora Of course, you’ll need to have an account with Pandora and sign up for one of their plans. A 30-day free trial is available and as I mentioned earlier, I chose the $4.99/month plan. Go to Media in the Fibit app and select Pandora. If you haven’t already logged in with your account, you’ll need to do so. You have the option to create playlists through the Pandora app on your phone but I just choose one the Fitbit playlists. Again, make sure before doing this to check that Wi-Fi is set up and connected before trying to sync. You’ll then need to have the Versa or Ionic on the charging dock and it’s probably a good idea to have your phone charging as well because it may take a while to sync. Also, syncing will not occur by Wi-Fi if the Versa or Ionic isn’t on the charging dock in the first place. For the single playlist I chose to sync, the app estimated it would take up to 15 minutes but it was closer to 2 hours for me.
