I would like to see Spotify controls inside the (android) app like eg Waze has to control my music during a workout ---

And if TR could somehow switch playlists based on the power you’re putting out… (i.e. rest intervals get relaxing music and work intervals get fast beat music) Also: > [@Control Apple Music (Spotify) from TR iOS app](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/control-apple-music-spotify-from-tr-ios-app/10906): > > Hi TrainerRoad, Please consider adding music controls (Apple/Spotify) to your iOS app. Thank you very much. ---

I have a playlist called “Angry Turbo Music”, can you get that to start playing when your AI detects I’m struggling please 😛 Also a special function where Raining Blood by Slayer is triggered exactly 32 seconds before the the last interval of the set, so that the riff kicks in just as the interval starts please? (I usually have this lined up myself for the end of the ramp test…) ---

Something tell me most of the work to do one music service should be a large amount of the work needed to swap to some other music service. > [@ibaldwin](#): > > Well this is poorly timed If it has Rogan in the name can it swap it to play something factual instead? ---

Spotify was, and will continue to be terrible before (and after) Joe Rogan. But, everyone uses it, so I get it. More to the subject, having some sort of curated playlist based on energy system targets has the potential to be super cool. ---

> [@ibaldwin](#): > > More to the subject, having some sort of curated playlist based on energy system targets has the potential to be super cool. I agree, but getting rights to music is hard along with people agreeing on what music they want. So if tr could just switch between music sources depending on the energy sources it allows people to come up with their own lists. I’m assuming people could share them in the forum. This assumes a music source is configured as the API provider (Spotify, apple music, etc) and the identifier of the playlist to play. ---

I personally have no interest in listening to music I don’t know / haven’t picked myself when I train indoors. Back when I belonged to a training center, I always brought in my own motivating (to me) music and used headphones vs. what they played in the studio. Last thing I want is to be suffering on the bike being forced to listen to music I don’t like. I have the same playlist that I have been using for literally almost 20 years…but I also would not want to subject anyone else to it, either. 😝 ---

Your cassette player still works? Do you bring a pencil with you to rewind after the session is over? 😜 ---

It’s terrible. > [@Power13](#): > > I personally have no interest in listening to music I don’t know / haven’t picked myself when I train indoors. I didn’t fully expand on my idea. Users would select their own songs and either assign them to each workout type or have the software select it based on BPM. It’s a pipe dream and I’m with all of you - I don’t want to listen to other peoples musical choices and I am also sensitive to the fact that most folks don’t want to hear banging underground techno either. 🙂 [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/spotify-controls-inside-tr-app/68544.md?page=2)
