My Question or Issue
Downloading a playlist worked when I first got the watch. I accidentally removed a playlist and now nothing works to download a playlist once more. It gets stuck on waiting... or gets to "x out of 50".
To troubleshoot, I have tried:
- Turning off Bluetooth from iPhone settings menu.
- Turning off Bluetooth from Apple watch
- Turning on airplane mode and just leaving wifi connected
- Disconnecting/reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network from the watch
- Reinstalling Spotify on both iPhone and Apple Watch
- Ensuring that I am not running into a storage issue on the watch (I am using less than 10% of available storage)
- Rebooting the iPhone and Apple watch
- Starting the playlist download from the phone or from the watch
- Turning off the iPhone and uninstalling Spotify from the watch, rebooting the Apple watch, reinstalling Spotify, and connecting the watch to a Bluetooth headset to play the playlist. Then and only then, initiating playlist download.
None of these things worked. Please help. I have liked Spotify but using it offline with the watch is a (if not the) major selling point of the premium membership (and watch) for me. And it is disconcerting that I see posts of this issue dating back 2 years now.
