Using my pixel phone, I went to the WearOS app, selected "Manage Content", and "Tracks on watch". Selecting "Albums", I then sent 4 albums stored on my phone to the watch, which transferred slowly but successfully. Then I go to my Galaxy Watch 7 (41mm, no LTE) and select the music icon that looks like a musical note. In all the youtube videos I have watched explaining how to play music on your watch, the music app just starts playing the stored music immediately. But not on my watch. I shows me the play button and other media controls but above that it says "No queued tracks", and nothing will play. I don't understand why my watch won't play the music that is stored on the watch. I haven't found any option for adding tracks to the queue. I did try creating a playlist under "Manage Content" that includes some of the tracks stored on the phone. It lists the playlist on the phone when I select "Playlists" at the bottom of the screen, but this playlist doesn't show up on the watch. I have also tried hitting the icon that looks like a play button (arrow pointing right). Then I click on the play button next to "Watch" but it just responds with "Can't play. Try in the app".
When you get to the music player there should be a handle at the very bottom of the watch screen to swipe up on. That should bring up your library and the shuffle/play control. Tap the song you want to start with and it should start playing.
I saw that little minus sign at the bottom, the only unrecognizable item on the screen, so I was hopeful that tapping on it would resolve the problem, but many taps later I had to admit defeat. I didn't think of swiping up on it.
Searching youtube for this, I found two short (under 2 minutes) videos showing exactly how to upload your music to the Galaxy watch and play it. I watched both videos again to make sure, and in both videos the music in the library appeared instantly after pressing the icon for the music app. No swiping up on the minus sign was done. I guess this was because they did this before the video was started. This means that neither video would actually help anyone who didn't know how to do this. Also I googled the error message (No queued tracks) and surprisingly the most related match was some reddit message that said "Hey man, it looks like you just don't have any music in your queue". Pretty useless. Sorry to bother you for such a trivial question. Obviously I haven't been using this watch for long, and perhaps it will be easier going once I get used to it. ~Paul
It didn't used to be like that. It did, as you say, appear instantly, but it has been a very long time since I added and played music on my watch. I only noticed the shade when researching to assist you. You shouldnt have to do this again, unless you manually want to choose a particular track. Perhaps it's because you afded albums instead of tracks, that it didn't queue up right away
Of course. In fact I clicked on "Accept solution" about 5 minutes before I sent my previous message and I received a notification that I accepted the solution. Perhaps it takes a while to register on the forum?
