This is post one in a multi-post series that will explain how to use and select music to compliment your class. As the series progresses, I will be sure to include the links to the previous posts so that the entire series can be found in the latest post. As an instructor, music can become the most challenging part of any indoor class; however it can be one of
The Great Spotify Debate: Renting Vs. Buying
I get a lot of questions about Spotify, but the one question that I get over and over from people that are interested switching from iTunes is: “Do you own the music?”, or “Can I sync music from Spotify to my iPod or burn it to CD? “ And my answer is always the same: “No, you can’t, but you won’t believe what you CAN do for only $9.99 a month!” Now I
iTunes Help – Removing Duplicate Song Listings
2/2014 UPDATE: This software is no longer available. With all this talk about PRO/Playlists and Spotify I can’t forget my friends with iTunes 🙂 I received an email today from Richard, who’s an ICI/PRO member, asking if I could help him… Over a year ago I had to restore my computer and I used a back up drive to restore my music, actually I gave it to someone else to
This could be trouble
I was greeted by another Spotify update this morning and see they’ve added a new way to accidentally screw up your class 🙁 Forgive me if you have already experienced this Spotify update. I might be a few days late reporting the change – I’ve been using the new Schwinn Class Tamer app and wanted to use a past Spotify playlist today. That big Shuffle Play button sits there at
Using Spotify Off Line
Click the title for full post: Another question about Spotify: I was off to teach a class on Friday and always listen to my playlist on the drive over and all the songs were skipping. I tried rebooting my iPhone and still no luck. Luckily I had my iTunes playlist on my phone and did another profile for class. The problem is still there and the Spotify site is no

Try following these directions and let me know if it helps: To download media to a Mac: Right Click on the blue underlined link Select “Download Linked File As” Select a download location Once file is completely downloaded, find it in the location you selected Drag the file into your iTunes
Are you paying too much for Spotify? How do I stop Apple Music payments?
Both of these questions have pretty much the same solution… Spotify is jumping in Apple’s face with this and I find it kind of funny 🙂 Turns out that if you’re paying your monthly Spotify subscription through iTunes, you are paying an extra $3.00 a month. Why? Because iTunes charges an extra 30% on top of recurrent subscriptions. Spotify is trying to raise awareness around the fact that it’s cheaper
Apple Music – First Experiences Aren’t Good
7/1 9:40am – could this be anymore confusing? Trying to save a streamed track to a playlist named 7/1 Test Playlist I created this morning. After exhausting all obvious methods, I tried first adding it to MY Music = success. Turns out that to add an Apple Music track to a playlist, it first needs to be downloaded to your computer like all of your local tracks… BUT THEN I
Don’t lose your track length timer – wait on updating Spotify
Two steps forward… three steps back. I’ve been waiting to see the new Spotify iPhone App upgrade this month. Now I’m glad I haven’t. Word is that the track length timer fades out after a few seconds – leaving you with no understanding of the time remaining 🙁 This problem popped up on Facebook this week & the Spotify forum has a thread where users are complaining about the missing
How do I submit my Podcast to the new podcast offering from Spotify?
Spotify had a big announcement yesterday > sounds like they’re going directly after iTunes with a confidence that really surprises me. After all, we’re talking about Apple here – the company with the largest market value of any company on earth. Kind of like my four pound Yorkie Maxx attacking our neighbor’s German Shepherd! Good for them 🙂 Streaming music service Spotify has announced new features including adding podcasts and
Spotify App Shows Where You Yell GO!!
This Where’s the Drama app for Spotify gives you a visual representation of the changes in loudness of any track in Spotify’s library = changes that many of us will use as cues. NOTE: for an unknown reason there’s no sound for the first 14 secs. It’s super easy to use and there’s nothing to download or install. Let me know if you find other uses for it
