Tangerine: OS X BPM analyser (talks to iTunes)
Blog about this ß and get a free licence once it's 1.0… Not sure why I'll need one, but what the heck. Oh wait, I'll need to analyse future songs I acquire.
+: I've been using this BPM analyser today, which writes the BPM to iTunes (though not by default). In theory, this is good because I can then set up whatever smart BPM-related playlists in iTunes. In practice it'll probably crap up some portion of the BsPM, which I won't find out about until I'm trying to jog to The Moonlight Sonata; other similar softwares have chosen strange numbers in the past. Better than nothing, though. Now if I could only get my iPod to charge up, I can go walking with these playlists.
-: It has extra features that I don't want such as creating local-to-it playlists (which you can save to iTunes, but only as Stupid Playlists), and automatically loading album art (I'm still not sure whether that was copied into iTunes) to display beautifully whilst playing said pointless playlist. I'm not a DJ. I just want to have BPM in iTunes. If iTunes would analyse these its-own-self, I'd never need to play around with things like this and AsktheDJ (or whatever was that tedious circular one that made me drag songs repeatedly, ignored half of them, and timed out after a while). Also, seriously people: what the heck is "beat intensity"?
