Are you tired of running on your NordicTrack treadmill in silence? Listening to music can be a great way to motivate yourself during a workout, but figuring out how to play music on your treadmill can be tricky. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps to play music on your NordicTrack treadmill, from connecting your device to selecting your playlist.
Check for Compatibility
Before attempting to play music on your NordicTrack treadmill, it’s important to check if your treadmill is compatible with your device. Most NordicTrack treadmills come with an auxiliary port or Bluetooth connectivity, but older models may not have these features.
Connect Your Device
Once you’ve confirmed compatibility, it’s time to connect your device to your NordicTrack treadmill. If your treadmill has an auxiliary port, you can use a standard aux cable to connect your device.

Choose Your Music App
Once your device is connected, you’ll need to choose a music app to play your music from. There are many options to choose from, including Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, and more. Make sure to download the app and create an account before starting your workout.
Select Your Playlist
Now that you’ve chosen your music app, it’s time to select your playlist. Depending on the app you’ve chosen, you may be able to create a workout-specific playlist or select a pre-made playlist. Make sure to choose a playlist that will motivate you during your workout.
Adjust the Volume
Once your music is playing, you can adjust the volume on your NordicTrack treadmill. Most treadmills have volume buttons located on the console or on the handlebars. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level that allows you to hear your music without being too loud.
