Abstract

Methods, devices, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing music while exercising. One method includes an operation for receiving a request for a music segment from a computing device. The request includes the pace of exercise of a user associated with the computing device. The music segment is selected based on the pace, and the music segment is modified to correlate the tempo of the music segment to the pace of exercise. The modified music segment is sent to the computing device to be played in one or more speakers to provide music that is correlated to the exercise.

Claims

1. A method for providing music while exercising, the method comprising:

receiving a request for a music segment from a computing device, the request including a pace of exercise of a user associated with the computing device;

selecting the music segment based on the pace;

modifying the music segment to correlate a tempo of the music segment to the pace of exercise; and

sending the modified music segment to the computing device, wherein operations of the method are executed by a processor.
