Is there an easy way or app to find songs based on bpm? For my workout playlist.

I like that music app algorithms are able to suggest similar songs to add to my playlist, but I wish there were a way to specify bpm for the song suggestions. I get extra motivation from a playlist with a specific and consistent bpm when I'm doing jump rope or using the treadmill.

Is there an easy way to search for songs based on both "vibes" and bpm?

Or alternatively, music playing app that can auto adjust songs in a playlist to all play at the same bpm.

    There's also an Android app called RunBeat that plays music from your Spotify library at a specified BPM, or you can let it auto-detect.

      I've tried entering a few songs and the recommended similar songs are spot on in terms of both bpm and vibes. Thanks so much for sharing!
