Cool Site for Playlists!

There was an article in our newspaper about a site where you could search songs by heart rate, they also have playlists already put together and they give you the approximate distance their good for!


Pick your workout tunes by beats per minute

Cowboys be warned: there's no country music genre to choose from on www.jogtunes.com. But there are plenty of others, including everything from reggae to rock.



Jogtunes is a site with a cool concept -- enter the heart rate you typically achieve while working out, and the site generates a whole list of songs that are a good "match" with your natural beat.


For example, plugging in 160 to 170 beats per minute (BPM) -- a rate you're at when running hard -- you get songs like Harry Connick Jr.'s Charade (165 BPM) and Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams (167 BPM).


You can also search by genre and by artist. Every song has a corresponding BPM, which makes it easy to co-ordinate your own playlist.


To download the songs, the site has links to iTunes in the U.S., U.K., Ireland and Japan, but not to iTunes Canada. But it's not a big deal. The site can generate song suggestions based on your heart rate and then will log on to iTunes to buy each song individually, for about $1 each.


It's pretty cool to know that your blood and music are pumping at the same rate.
