Quick answer
Spotify has introduced a 'Running Mode' for Android Premium users, enabling personalized workout playlists with BPM adjustments, genre selection, and audio coaching.
Spotify has launched a new 'Running Mode' for Android, previously exclusive to iOS users. Premium subscribers can now create playlists optimized for running workouts, tailored to individual preferences.
The mode offers 25 preset templates adjustable for different workout types: interval training, steady runs, or pyramid schemes. Users can select genres, tempo (BPM), and even add audio coaching for motivation. Playlists can be saved for future use.
The feature also integrates with Prompted Playlist, allowing playlist creation via text prompts. For example, users can request forgotten tracks or short compositions for variety. However, 'Running Mode' is currently available only in select countries, including the US, Canada, and the UK, and requires a Spotify Premium subscription.
In addition to 'Running Mode,' Spotify has introduced the ability to add notes to tracks, podcasts, and audiobooks in playlists, helping users remember why they added specific content.
