Abstract

A system and method are disclosed and described for changing the meter of songs being played on a replay device. This system and method may be implemented in a replay device, such as a MP3 player, for use by an exerciser so that the exerciser may maintain a predetermined pace during an exercise period based on the meter of the songs being played. The system and method also provide an ability to vary the pace during the exercise period to maintain a physiological condition at a substantially constant level.
