Disappointed as thought this app had music built in!
Anyone know if you can change the settings to include music. I'm using a Samsung galaxy s2 and haven't gotten around to uploading any music yet and thought this had music built in. If you have Ty upload your own music how the heck do you do it?! Thanks for any advice!

Hi Sasha,
I know I've already replied to your support email, but I figured I should answer here too, just in case anyone else comes to the forum with the same question
It's a pretty frequent question!
Get Running on Android (and iPhone) is designed to work with the existing music player or other apps on your phone. Just fire up your music the way you normally would -- in the Music app, in Spotify, whatever -- before you kick off Get Running, and the music will carry on just fine, with Get Running playing its instructions alongside the music.
You can also exit Get Running and fire up your music player to change tracks, choose a different playlist, etc., while Get Running is in the middle of a run. Go back into Get Running and you'll find the timer has carried on in the "background" and is still marking off the minutes just fine.
Regards,
Matt
