Audiobook support on Garmin devices with Spotify capability

[mattsau1]

My Garmin 255 Music has Spotify support. It syncs playlists and podcasts no problem. However, when I try to sync an audiobook, it returns a "media error occured" error. It would be great if audiobook functionality were supported.

It’s almost 2024….how is it even possible that we can’t easily play an audiobook on a Garmin watch?

Why hasn’t this happen yettttt

I would love to vote this up, but the vote button is disabled for me for some reason.

It is strange that Spotify hasn't decided to implement this yet. There is basically no competitor on this subject, so it would be really valuable for Spotify to be first on audio books on Garmin watches.

Why is the vote button disabled?

Please Spotify - I just switched from Apple watch to spotify as I'm trying to disconnect from my phone more and more. 

It would be amazing to download the audiobooks that are available with my membership so that I can listen and run phone free! 

As is obvious from this page, and I'm sure there are a ton of other people that would really want this but havent commented here directly, this would be an incredible upgrade and investment in the Garmin community. Thank you for your time!

I can't vote bc the bottom doesn't seem to work. I want this and was abt to buy a new fit tracker before seeing that this could be a spotify support issue.
