1. BeatSeeker is a responsive Max for Live device that adapts Live’s tempo to stay in time with a drummer or other rhythmic audio. It lets bands maintain their natural groove when performing with Live.
2. Jan 20, 2008  I just loaded all of my songs into itunes (from wma to mp3 ) and ive got a free bpm analyzer, which is pretty accurate and loads the bpm into the ID3 tag of each mp3.I want to do two things with Itunes and ID3 tags though: 1) Reorganise my Itunes folder into Album artist, not artist.
3. Like User- stated if you use mp3s instead of wavs there may be issues with warping in the extremes. And couldn't agree more with Aragorn Wiederhold that work flow order is very important. If you're timing and quality with each.

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.

When drawing tempo automation in Live's Arrangement View, it's sometimes hard to set the envelope to the exact value. Live 10.1 and later solves this issue by using the 'Edit value' context menu entry.

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.
