Guest Mike Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi folks - recently installed the C25K app and quickly upgraded to pro. One question related to music, how do you create playlists? I have a few hundred songs saved on my phone's SD card but mostly I use Google Music. Can I access my music from Google Music? Point me in the right direction of Zen Lab super heroes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirl Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have the pro version and also use Google Play. I made my workout playlist in Google Play, so I run them both at the same time. I start my music in Google Play, and then bring up my C25K app and start it. They run together very well on my phone (also a Galaxy S4). I've never tried to use the music player build into the C25K app because the way that I do it works really well. Hope this helps and Happy Running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Hey Farmgirl, So, do you have to play for Google Play? I thought we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirl Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did you mean "pay" for Google Play? If so, then no, the app itself is free. They often have free music to download as well, but most of it you pay to download just like iTunes or Amazon. There are several different apps in the "Google Play" world, and Play Music is the app that I use, they all kind of come as a bundle. The tech geek part of me couldn't really imagine that there would be an issue with any music player app working in conjunction with the C25K app, you would just have to start them independently but I have my music playing and I hear the prompts from C25K over the music with no issues.

7678sarah Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I do the same as farmgirl. Google play is great. Sometimes iuse the radio app instead. I also have map my run app on. 10k - google play - 10k - all running together and work together. I hear the 10 k prompts over the music and the map my run updates : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyAnn Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 LOL, yes Farmgirl, PAY not Play, I thought when i downloaded it asked me about $9.99 a month, I will check again. I did install the app Pandora and gosh that was so nice yesterday listening to music, makes for a better workout. My 10k app does prompt over the music which I love. I love the Map My RUn app as well, so I can see how far I go. I like it that they can run in the background now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirl Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 You should definitely check out Google Play Music. Google Play, in itself, is more of an app store, but the Google Play Music comes as part of it and I love it myself. The Samsung Music player that comes already in the Galaxy series of phones works also. I love Pandora too and am able to use it when I can get on my Wifi at home or at the gym, but I live in the boonies and don't have a sufficient cell signal to listen to Pandora when walking/running the dirt roads in my neighborhood but that's ok... it's my quiet time to enjoy the peacefulness of my beautiful mountain home It's awesome that the music apps, C25K, and Map My Run all run pretty well together!

KellyAnn Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hey farmgirl. I am in the boonies myself and I run my track around my property right now. When I hike with my friend, we don't listen to music. I finally download the app and I went past the screen and see the free music. Thanks. I love how we all help each other. farmgirl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pharm girl Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Anyone know why I can't hear the prompts on my IPhone if I lock the screen so it doesn't butt dial, etc when it's in my pocket? Finished day 3 today! I haven't ran in 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmgirl Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 First of all congrats on finishing Day 3 and welcome back to the world of running! Secondly, I'm sorry but I really don't know anything about Apple products. Anyone of the Apple Geniuses in the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Thanks farmgirl for the congrats. It feels good! Maybe by my 48th birthday on October 20 I will be running 5k?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirl Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 You're welcome Skeeter and you might as well give it a go! You never know, you may be more ready than you realize I have signed up for a 5K on Oct 18th and in my mind I'm nowhere near ready. Chances are that I'll walk as much as I run LOL! But my friends and I will be crossing that finish line no matter how long it takes and we'll be rockin' our camo tutu's and home-made tiara's because it's all about having fun, getting healthy, and in this case helping to raise money for an awesome cause. Happy Running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
