One streaming music service is considering bringing in sensor data to tailor tunes based on what one's body is actually doing.

Spotify project manager Donovan Sung recently told TechRadar's Chris Smith that maybe with motion sensors in phones, they can start guessing things like 'are you running, biking or driving?' Maybe it has a temperature sensor, or a heart rate sensor so they can get a sense of whether they're tense, Discovery News reported.

Sung also said hinted that the company is thinking about pulling in other data such as sleep habits and wake-up times.
