Interval timer for work out

[looziskey]

Is there such a thing as a timer that can be set at intervals for a 'ding' to go off while a playlist is playing, kind of like a minute reminder that doesn't have to be reset?
I'm trying to really simplify my circuit training gear.

Not on the nano-only there's a non-dinging stopwatch.

Yeah, this has been bugging me, too. I finally realized that I could make mp3s of the length I wanted (specifically, 20 seconds and 10 seconds for the Tabata interval), and build those into a playlist for a homemade, free, interval timer. I found a good article on how to make mp3s of any length. Unfortunately I can't post the link, but if you Google "make ringtones geek to live" it should be the first result.

So, for my Tabata timer, I made a playlist that repeats my 10-second and 20-second interval eight times.

If this seems like more trouble than it's worth, don't worry: the entire process of downloading and editing my first two intervals took about five minutes; I expect that future intervals will take less than two to generate. If you happen to be looking for a Tabata timer, feel free to download the mp3s I made. It's not showing on Google yet, so just know that it's a site called Orbitfiles, my name there is scotty022, and the file is called tabata.

Enjoy!

You can also use Audacity to put the beeps in at the desired places in a track. It's pretty easy to do--very easy to combine the desired playlist into one long mp3, and easy to put the beeps in.
