If you're looking for music, Love is a Battlefield, Rock Lobster and What I Am (Edie Brickell) work well at 180ish.

I once spent ages trying to measure the precise beats per minute of lots of tracks on my iPod. (This was a long time ago!)

Is there an easy way, in these modern techie days, of playing a track, perhaps through an app, and getting a beats per minute reading?

Spotify have some bpm playlists, although the 180 ones aren't that inspiring. I have an app called, imaginatively, BPM, which lets me tap along and calculates an average. It also shazams.

Podrunner used to have an app where you could actually adjust the bpm of their tracks if you particularly liked one that wasn't at the speed you wanted.
