1. A repetitive motion pacing system for pacing a user, comprising:
- a user profile database containing a plurality of user-defined parameters, the user-defined parameters including at least a pre-selected interval type, a pre-selected interval profile, and a target tempo value for a repetitive motion activity;
a data storage and playback device programmed to identify tempo information of one or more data files and matching or closely matching the tempo of the one or more data files with the target tempo value; and
a communications device for transferring the matched or closely matched one or more data files to the user.

Abstract
A repetitive motion pacing system for pacing a user that comprises a user profile database that contains a plurality of user-defined parameters that include at least a pre-selected interval type, a pre-selected interval profile, and a target tempo value for a repetitive motion activity. A data storage and playback device is programmed to identify tempo information of one or more data files and matching or closely matching the tempo of the one or more data files with the target tempo value. A communications device for transferring the matched or closely matched one or more data files to the user.

13. A pacing method performed on a computing device, comprising the steps of:
-
designating an interval type; designating an interval profile, the interval profile having a plurality of segments; designating one or more target tempo values corresponding to a pre-selected activity type; identifying one or more data files having a tempo matching or closely matching the one or more target tempo values; and automatically changing the tempo of the one or more matched or closely matched data files to correspond to the segments of the designated interval profile. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

23. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program codes which when executed by a computer processor on a data storage and playback device trigger the computer processor to perform the following steps:
-
allowing the user to input a user-selected activity type and to select and change a target tempo value; automatically scanning the data storage and playback device for existing song files and tempo information associated with the song files; determining natively on the data storage and playback device tempo information associated with the song files if the tempo information associated with the song files is missing; automatically selecting, based on target tempo value, one or more of the song files having tempo information that is substantially the same as the target tempo value; sequentially playing the selected song files by the data storage and playback device; and displaying on the data storage and playback device the target tempo value and the tempo associated with the song file when it is being played. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
