Seemed like way too much work, even for me. I did download a program that enabled you to calculate the BPM of a song by tapping out the beats on the spacebar, but I've never used it.

Is that a Mac program? If so, can you let me know what it's called?

Lord Drayson, minister for defence procurement, told the The Daily Telegraph that the planes were useless without control of the software as they could effectively be "switched off" by the Americans without warning.

Dude must've watched Canadian Bacon.

Yeah, it's Mac. I downloaded it years ago, so I don't remember what it's called or where I got it. It's probably still on my iBook, so I'll look for it when I get home....

eta: I googled 'itunes bpm' and this was the first match (and came up multiple times) so I think this must have been what I downloaded: [link]

iTunes-BPM adds a simple floating window to iTunes that allows you to set the beats-per-minute value for the currently playing song by tapping along to the music.

Thanks. I don't do beat mixing when I deejay, but knowing bpm would be very useful for songs I use for couples dancing.

Check out my eta to my last post, if you missed it....

that assumes a sense of rhythm. t /arhythmic

that assumes a sense of rhythm.

I'm guessing that after a period of time (say, ten seconds) all your rhythmic errors would average out to be pretty close to the correct bpm. (Dunno if the program actually works this way, but to me this makes the most sense.)

Thanks, tommyrot.

Let us know how it works for you - I might try it one of these days....

If anyone has writely account invitations, please let me know. I would love an invitation.
