Nov 13, 2011 View BPM in iTunes. Use MixMeister to get BPM if your mp3 doesn't already have it. Create a smart playlist to find songs within a BPM range. This free audio tool scans your entire collection of songs and detects the number of beats per minute, which gives an idea of how calm or how energetic the tune is. Pistonsoft BPM Analyzer can display the numbers right away in its convenient browser-style interface, but most prefer this information saved as a tune's meta-tag. You'll end up.

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.

Above the library window it would be *very* useful to have a BPM Filter button that when enabled will show only tracks in your library between a certain BPM range.
That way when you search or order your library with the BPM filter enabled every track that is displayed will be within a mixable BPM. Then you can concentrate on searching for more suitable songs to play. This BPM range could also be updated automatically by SDJ as you load tracks and change tempo.
To take it a step further the new Beatport Pro has a *choice of filters* that can be selected by drop down menus above the library window. Each 'filter drop down menu' giving you a choice of what you wish to filter your list by. That way you can choose filter 1 to be a BPM range and filter 2 to be Harmonic Key. Right there you are positively narrowing down your choice of tracks tremendously.
Traktor has had a BPM range filter for so long. I'm surprised that Serato hasn't done it yet. It's something that almost every single dj would use.
