Like to Work Out? Cruise Control Matches Your Music to Your Pace

I’m one of those people who feels to need to go for a run three or four times a week.  Most times I listen to podcasts as I run because music tends to mess up my pace.  

I have a carefully selected “Running” playlist in my iPhone that features music with BPMs close to my ideal jogging speed.  But I’m bored with the selections and I can’t be arsed to go through the hassle of finding more songs with within the appropriate range of tempo.

This app, though, might solve that.  Cruise Control senses your speed and automatically choose music from your library based on your pace.  Set a target pace before you start out and all the songs it calls forth will be in that range.

I may have to give this a shot.  If it works, I may have to ditch Runkeeper.  More at Mashable.
