I guess it doesn't and when you ask the app to delete, the app tries to delete the songs listed in the newest version of the playlist (provided by Spotify) and the number of songs, their names or both don't match (because your watch contains the songs listed on an earlier version of this dynamic playlist) and then the deletion progress locks. Spotify connect works pretty well, but there isna delay when starting a track. When I push play the track starts playing in the app, but no sound until upto 15 seconds when the sound starts frm the beginning. Not a major problem, but quite annoying none the less. Open Spotify on your phone or tablet. Tap the Spotify app icon. This will open your Spotify home page if you're logged in. If you aren't signed into Spotify, enter your username (or email address) and password before continuing. Is spotify a non ethernet app. If you're using a tablet, make sure that it's on the same Wi-Fi network as the desktop computer.

Note: Some of your files may be protected in restricted formats. Install QuickTime on your computer to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify.
- .mp3
- .m4p (unless it contains video)
- .mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

If your file isn’t supported, we do our best to match it with songs from the Spotify catalog. The version we match with might differ from the original.
