Spotify Running - what was missing runners
Music Web Services / / December 19, 2019
A few days ago I tried Spotify Running - service, select music, depending on the pace of running. What came out of it, I will tell in this article.
I understand the people who are running for a long time. Over time, you begin to enjoy the process itself, and supplements such as music or podcasts are not needed. So it was with me. However, when I went back to running after a long break, it turned out that I need support again. She began to podcasts.
But recently, Spotify has announced a new service spotify Running. He selects music based on tempo runs and even offers specially designed playlists by Tiesto and other DJs. Recently, I was not interested, but the music, adapts to my pace - it's cool. I figured it out two years ago, when I tried the app TrailMixWhich speeds up or slows down the music for the same purpose. Application work quite clumsy, sometimes changing music so that even your favorite songs were recognized immediately.
Spotify to test, I realized that the service has gone the other way. He does not change the tempo of the music - instead Spotify Running offers playlists at any pace. Once launched, the application will determine the current tempo. This step can be skipped by manually selecting it later.
Playlists lot. They share both musical genres and other categories in Spotify style. Names such as "strong and independent", "bright Morning Mix" and "Running in a good mood" are common. Moreover, there is a separate tab Running Originals. On it are playlists created by DJs, to which I referred earlier. Unlike other music they accelerated or slowed down depending on a change of pace. Since it is electronic, this is no problem. If the change of pace in other playlists, and music will change.
With EDGE-Ukrainian internet failed to run a lot. It is worth to pay tribute to Spotify: he diligently tried to load the tracks, but the play is still stopped by five to seven times each song.
Somewhat surprised by the fact that Spotify does not go further and does not cooperated, for example, with Runkeeper. It would be great to start with the music automatically start running the assistant. Or vice versa, when you start Runkeeper includes music by tempo run. But even without this functionality Spotify Running - a great thing. With the advent of 3G-Internet I will run only with him, and those who are online allows you to try the service already, I highly recommend.
Connect Spotify in Russia and Ukraine is not so easy, but here I was told how to do it. Now launched a campaign for which you can buy a three-month premium subscription for $ 0.99. Spotify Running works only for premium members.
