1. A media system comprising:

  • at least one hardware processing device;

    a media-output device that plays media content items; and

    at least one computer readable data storage device storing data instructions that, when executed by the at least one hardware processing device, cause the media system to;

    identify, from a plurality of playlists, a subset of playlists containing one or more repetitive-motion activity related keywords appearing in descriptions associated with the subset of playlists, wherein the plurality of playlists include media content items;

    evaluate a plurality of media content items included in the subset of playlists, and identify based on a playlist inclusion score a plurality of positive example media content items from the plurality of media content items for playback during repetitive motion activities, wherein the playlist inclusion score is calculated as a difference between a number of playlists that include the media content item, from the plurality of playlists, that are conducive to performing the repetitive-motion activities and a number of playlists that include the media content item, from the plurality of playlists, that are inappropriate for performing the repetitive-motion activities;

    generate a model usable to characterize a suitability of media content items for repetitive motion activities based on characteristics of audio signals of the identified plurality of positive example media content items that have playlist inclusion scores that exceed a threshold;

    review media content items to identify the media content items that are conducive to performing repetitive-motion activities; and

    select certain media content items from the media content items based upon comparison to the generated model, the certain media content items being conducive to performing the repetitive-motion activities.
