BPM & movement

Many listeners use MAF while hiking, running or cycling. Each track has a measured tempo (BPM) – useful for endurance training at a steady pace or cadence, without a metronome.

3,259 tracks with BPM · range roughly 60–180 BPM

Under the “Beat” menu: tap tempo, playlists by tempo, and background on why BPM still matters in improvised music. Not a substitute for sports apps – but a large, searchable collection of hand-played tracks at many tempos.
