This Is the Coolest Feature Spotify Added Today
Runners of the world, Spotify has got the update for you. The popular music streaming app is adding a special mode for running that plays music that syncs up to the pace of your run, along with a slew of other new features. The feature works like this you start the running mode, and then you start running. Using the technology already in your phone, Spotify figures out how fast you're going and picks music where the beats-per-minute matches up. You can choose to either have music selected based on what you've listened to before, use a multi-genre playlist or hear new tracks made by DJs specifically for running. So if you're just going for a pleasant jog, we'd imagine you might get something mid-tempo, like Mumford and Sons. Run a little faster and maybe some Jay-Z will hit you. If you're really going all out, it would make sense that Spotify would play some gnarly fast, double-bass driven thrash metal, like Slayer.
