What is the best music app to use for the gym? I would love to pick my own songs and have my own playlist? Any suggestions? pros and cons?

Spotify its awesome for creating your own playlists!

Depends if the gym has Wifi. I use spotify sometimes. One can download a playlist and I use the premium version ($10.66). Pick anything off of it website. It has a lot of new music.

i invested $50 (give or take) and bought an ipod nano. i choose my playlist and update it once a month. this way i listen to MY music and not the gyms, dont have to pay for anything else.

if theres a new song out there i go to youtube and copy the link and then go to a youtube audio converter website and convert the video to audio and add to my playlist.

I use Google Play Music.

I have my core music on my phone, but also have about 15k songs uploaded. I have playlists built for all different tastes and workouts.

Edit - Aside from my Moto X, I have an iPhone as well. There is also a Google Play Music app for iOS as well. Unfortunately it came out after I paid for iTunes Match.

I just sing Justin Bieber tunes out loud as I'm on the treadmill or bike. I like it, but I get strange looks from others for some reason.

Thanks! I appreciate your responses.

I use my music player on my phone and create a playlist from there. If you have Android, it's called Google Play Music. If you do cardio on a treadmill or run outdoors, look into an app called Run Double... you can create a playlist on there as well and pick from several different running programs depending on your goals

I have a gym playlist for my iPod Shuffle...awesome investment.

I also use jog.fm (and its sister sites) to help create playlists on based on beats per minute (BPM) on my walking, jogging, cycling playlists.
