A member called to my attention that per their Terms and Conditions, Spotify is only permitted for personal use. Meaning that you agree not to use it in commercial applications. “That’s not good” I thought and I immediately went to read what he was referring to. Here’s the T&C page that includes this from Spotify: 3. Grant of license You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to make personal non-commercial use of
Tech Wednesday – New iTunes Podcast App
Wasn’t I just saying; if it wasn’t for Podcasts, I would rarely (if ever) use iTunes? Well I now iPhone/iPad users can access The Indoor Cycle Instructor Podcast through a new Podcast App, completely bypassing iTunes. IMPORTANT NOTE! This new Podcast App changes how ICI/PRO members will subscribe to the premium RSS feed (Super Secret iTunes Feed) that allows you to download Member’s Only Audio PROfiles and PRO/Podcasts. For ICI/PRO
Important Setting In iTunes
A new ICI/PRO member emailed asking me this question: Just joined ICI and haven’t had a chance to navigate the whole site yet but did go right for the Free Music Downloads. They appear in my itunes but when I go to listen to them itunes tells me that it cannot play them because it can’t find the original file. I glanced over your site looking for troublshooting but couldn’t
Using Music – An Instructional Series
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.

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

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
