If you are into footing or running you should take a look at the new MP3 player from Yamaha that selects the songs or preloaded mixes which tempo matches your running, footing or walking rhythm. The Yamaha BODiBEAT MP3 Player includes an accelerometer and 4 modes of operation that make it work from a standard portable MP3 player to a heart rate monitor.
The Yamaha BODiBEAT MP3 Player features 512 MB (that could be better), 4 operating modes, free workout, this one plays songs that match your exercise, fitness, adapts the music to keep you in the exercise, for example plays faster songs when you are going slower, training, for those who want to create their own training sessions based on the songs, and music, that makes it work like a MP3 player; heart rate monitor and half tempo (includes songs which tempo match half your current steps per minute), learning (similar to last.fm based on skipped tracks) and normalize volume functions.
There are some other options for this kind of things like Tangerine software or doing it yourself, but this player makes it really easy. The Yamaha BODiBEAT MP3 Player will be available in fall 2007 and its price will be $300.
