"Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum
With the words I love you rolling off my tongue..."

I really like the idea but think I'd prefer to choose song for ranges of heart rate. Like, when at resting, shuffle the songs in this playlist, when I'm jogging (whatever heartrate range that may be), shuffle this playlist. I guess I'd just be worried that I wouldn't have that many songs that beat at my heart rate for the amount of time I want to be doing cardio and I'm not a fan of my songs repeating during a workout.

Great idea though; currently I have a generic playlist and if I wind up on a stationary bike for a while as I wait for the weight area to clear out, the songs I chose beforehand don't always match the new activity so I can DEFINITELY see this as useful.]]>May 21st 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/
You can manually enter BPM in iTunes though, and I'm sure there is software that will estimate this automatically for your collection. (But it probably won't be perfect - I've got several devices with BPM meters and some plainly don't work at all, some max out at 160BPM (?!), and even the best occasionally flip between the correct value and half of it. That's in addition to songs which change BPM partway through.)

It would be pretty neat if this device would automatically change the speed of music (within reasonable range) to exactly match your heartbeat or running pace etc. :)]]>May 21st 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 21st 2009 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/]]>May 21st 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.rocketboom.com/wearables-at-itp/

How is Shoegaze appropriate for high heart rates?
Unless it's intended to pacify the heart.
Or put it to sleep.
Or gather college street cred.]]>May 21st 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 21st 2009 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/just saying.......]]>May 21st 2009 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 21st 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 21st 2009 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 21st 2009 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/sensor-laden-kokoro-adjusts-playlist-to-match-the-rhythm-of-your/May 26th 2009 4:20PM
