Things I Wish The Internet Had: Spotify Edition

[miss_s_b]

I love Spotify. I use it lots. I have it on my phone. One thing I wish it had?

I wish I could search songs by BPM. Because that would make it LOTS easier to make up an exercise playlist of music I LIKE instead of crappy bloody bleepy dance music, which is all the exercise playlists I can find online....

+ key signature too.
+ all the Music Genome Project attributes (AFAIK only available via US-only Pandora Internet Radio). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Music_Genome_Project_attributes

Yeah. I miss Pandora so much.

You could try searching SoundCloud? Advanced search lets you filter by bpm, and you can exclude the bleepy stuff (unless it's been wilfully misfiled :)

I've not listened to anything (werk machine not currently set up to play sounds), so it may be 100% whaledreck, but a test search for 100bpm downloadable music tagged with "rock" returns 492 tracks.

You have to pay to use soundcloud, by the looks of it :(

[perlmonger]

They have a paid for version that's helpful if you actually use it to upload lots of stuff, but you just need an email address and password, tick the read-the-smallprint box, untick the send-me-crap box, and away you go.

Actually, you don't even need to sign up: here's the test search I did earlier, and it works fine on a browser that's not logged in.

OK, thank you. Also there's this http://jogtunes.com/

BPM would work were it not for the popularity of blastbeats. Although you could always take up black metal drumming for the full cardio workout.

See, I understood the individual words in that, but...

Also, I am looking forward to tomorrow because then I get to find out what is in Holly;s Cryptically labelled birthday present...

"Black Metal" are your angry Norwegians looking like rejects from Kiss singing about Satan and setting fire to churches.

This is a pretty good example. And this shows that its best if you don't take it seriously.

"Stay fit with Mick Harris". I'd buy that. :-D
