    Abstract: A media playlist is generated in which media items have a tempo matching a target tempo. The content server receives a seed value and a tempo signal from a client device. The tempo signal indicates a target tempo specified by the user. The content server calculates a target tempo range associated with the target tempo and generates a filtered playlist of media items based on the seed value and the target tempo range. The media items in the in the filtered playlist have tempos within the target tempo range. The content server provides the media items in the filtered playlist to the client device.
