That's right. Music Videos are not formatted for the small screen on Apple Watch.

mp3 music playlist not syncing with apple watch Both my apple watch and my iphone are updated to the latest OS. I am trying to sync my mp3 music playlists to my apple watch via watch app. But whenever I select the playlists I want to sync and press + button on the top right corner, it looks like it's syncing, but after a few seconds, it disappears and nothing happens. I don't know if it's my watch problem or the watch os bug.

Apple Watch Music and iPhone Music Library I am new to Apple Watch, and I'm trying to figure out if there is something wrong with the Music app, or if it is working as intended. Apple Watch Series 9 at WatchOS 10.1.1 and iPhone SE 3 at iOS 17.1.1. I am NOT an Apple Music subscriber. I have a large library of music (> 14,000 songs) synced from a Mac to the iPhone. When I launch the Music app on the Apple Watch, I can see all of the playlists, artists, albums and songs that are in the iPhone's music library. If I tap on "Playlists," select a playlist, then tap "Play," the playlist will start playing on the iPhone. If I tap on "Albums," I can see all the albums that are in the iPhone music library. If I tap on an album, the "Play" button is greyed out and tapping it does not do anything. However, if the album has been downloaded to the Apple Watch, then I can tap the Play button, and the album will start playing on the Apple Watch. Is this normal behavior? It seems that if you can start playing a playlist from the Apple Watch, you should also be able to start playing an album using the same interface.

Watch OS 10.0.1 music app bug Hey guys, has anyone else have an issue with music app on watch. The thing is, with this new os 10, I can't choose a playback a particular song from iPhone's playlist anymore. The watches sees the iphone's music playlist and it's songs but all of them are dimmed, so it makes impossible to pic any one to play. I think now on watch os 10, to play any song even if they on iPhone, they have to be copied to watch anyway. Music itself is fine, plays perfectly. p.s. Iphone and watch even been reset and erased and recovered with DFU, issue still presents itself((
