- Mar 17, 2015 I noticed also that right now you can display BPM as a column in the main window without a problem (obviously if the file has been tagged with BPM previously) - but when you open the tag editor and looks at 'Tags (2)' the bpm always shows as 0.

MixMeister BPM Analyzer is a free program you can use to automatically detect the exact BPM (beats per minute) of any song. The tags in most digital music files provide no BPM information at all.
Knowing the BPM (beats per minute) of your music is of course essential for both understanding better where various genres of music fit on the BPM scale and also for mixing those tunes together once you know.
Nearly all the software people DJ with automatically calculates the BPM of your music for you – it’s part of the loading time taken when you drag a new track onto a DJ deck in Virtual DJ, Traktor or Serato etc.

But what if you don’t have DJ software yet? What if you don’t want your whole collection in your DJ software? What if you just want to fill in the BPM ID3 tag of your files in iTunes?
Luckily, there’s a little-known free program that will do that (and only that) for you. It’s from the makers of DJ mix automation software Mixmeister, and it’s called BPM Analyzer. It’s available for PC and Mac, and you can get it from here:
It couldn’t be simpler to use – you just drag and drop your files and watch MixMeister BPM Analyzer review them one by one.
I’d recommend running it overnight if you’ve got a big collection – and don’t forget to ask your iTunes (or whatever library software you use) to rescan the ID3 tags of your MP3s once you’re done. The reason is that some software (including iTunes) doesn’t do this automatically.
Have you got any little free pieces of software that you couldn’t live without? Let us know in the comments.

Did you ever wonder what the BPM column in your favorite music player could be used for?
Well, first you have to fill it. There are multiple tools that let you tap the beat to some song and then write the BPM value into iTunes/Music. This is probably a good method, if you have—say—10 songs.
If you have more than 10 songs, you need a tool for automatic BPM detection. One like beaTunes.

Once you have determined the BPM of songs in your library, you can build playlists based on the tempo of your tracks. It makes it a lot easier to find those slow dance, running or roadtrip songs.
Here's how it works
- Get the free beaTunes trial version for Windows or Mac and install it on your computer
- Start beaTunes
- Either select the songs you want to analyze and click on the Analyze button or go to Tools > Analyze all Songs
- beaTunes will now show you the analysis options dialog:
- Choose Estimate BPM, select whether you want to replace already existing BPM values (probably not) - then start the analysis
(you might also want to check the Determine color checkbox while you are at it - it will help you to create great playlists) - The songs are now analyzed in the background
- To track progress, click on the Analysis/Task Queue item in the left part of the main window:

- The progress bars in the first rows shows how much of the analysis of a song is completed
- When the analysis is running, the Pause Analysis button is enabled allowing you to pause analysis at any time
- BPM analysis is a one time effort that takes some time - we recommend to run it over night
- Note, that when you shut down beaTunes and restart it, it resumes analysis where you stopped it
