I choose by artist. Static-X is one of my favorites.

country fitness. Yes, I'm a hick.

Salsa & reggaeton mainly (Pandora). I forget the initial seed artist/song.
Alternatively, bpm-range-specific playlists on Spotify (typically a lot of rap at the ~170-190 bpm range)...Running is one time where I can truly appreciate music that I could otherwise not stand.

I roll my own.

My tastes are violently eclectic. Highwaymen, Bone, Prodigy, Lindsey Sterling, Dizzee Rascal, Garth Brooks, Nightwish, Meatloaf

Zac Brown Band station

Chevelle, avenged sevenfold, mudvayne, bullet for my Valentine; those are my favorite stations. I find if the music is hard I push harder.

If you want harder @special_ed1977 , Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, Trivium, Hatebreed.

Lady Gaga station. Those beats get me in the mood to move.

Dance Cardio and Power Lifting Metal. Both good beats and get me motivated.

Davidsdottir, I do hear some Trivium on the mudvayne station. Dying light is pretty good to if you haven't heard them yet. I'll check out your other suggestions too, thanks bro!

I have a spotify playlist with him, Korn, Pantera, and Sevendust. That keeps me moving through cardio and my lifts.

Similar here, but on Slacker.

Spotify. You can pick songs, not stations.

Pandora has had that capability for over a year now, Pandora Premium. And it's priced exactly the same as Spotify I believe. And Pandora is significantly better for radio-style play and and for making your own stations based on music you like. At least that was true of Spotify as of a year ago.

My big problem with Spotify back when I evaluated it was that you couldn't get a station with multiple genres based on what you like. On Pandora I have my "running" station that has a mix of pop, alternative, metal and hip hop and it will randomly play any one of those on the station I created. Spotify you could create a "station" based on an artist or song you like, but every song it played in that station was similar to the one you created the station with.

I will say I don't think Pandora has a free, ad-based, version of their premium service the way Spotify does. You have to pay to get that.

I originally switched from Spotify because of the ads.. they often crashed the app on my phone at the time, and their premium service was WAY more expensive than Pandora's.

Gogol Bordello - when I was trail running the fast pace of the music always helped me maintain my own pace. But oddly I also listened to a lot of audio books, because if I found one that was really engaging I could zone out my own discomfort.

@ritzvin Pandora now has two levels of service you can pay for. Pandora Plus, their original pay service, which is essentially a custom radio station with some limited replay capability and no ads. You can't download and create play lists and order the music the way you want and play it in the order you want with Pandora Plus service. Like I said, Pandora Plus is like a custom radio station and Pandora's algorithm picks the songs, based on your likes of previous songs, and the order they're played in. Plus is $4.99/month and for that you get no advertisements.

They now have Pandora Premium that is exactly the same as Spotify as far as creating playlists and downloading music and choosing to play it in whatever order you desire. And it's priced exactly the same as Spotify at $9.99/month.

The constantly crashing ads meant having to spend $10 monthly for a usable Spotify app. I optionally choose to pay $4 to Pandora for ad-free and more song skips (since that is fairly cheap and I use it a lot), but it was usable as it was for free.
