NAME

bpm-tools - calculate the tempo of music files
 

SYNOPSIS

bpm-tag [ options] file
 
bpm-graph file
 
bpm [ options] < file.raw
 

DESCRIPTION

The bpm-tools commands are used to automatically calculate the tempo (in beats-per-minute) of music, optionally displaying an analysis and adding it to file 'tags'. The data from these tags can be especially useful for navigating a music library in DJ software such as xwax(1).
 
The bpm command implements the algorithm on raw data, but the most commonly used command is bpm-tag.
 

OPTIONS

Options are described by the commands themselves. Use one of the following for more information:
 
bpm-tag -h
 
bpm-graph -h
 
bpm -h
 

EXAMPLES

Tag a file with its tempo:
 
bpm-tag "Daft Punk - Get Lucky.mp3"
 
Calculate and display the tempo of a file without modifying it:
 
bpm-tag -f -n "Gwen Guthrie - Padlock.flac"
 
Tag a file, with a hint to look for a fast tempo:
 
bpm-tag -m 120 -x 200 "Roni Size - Brown Paper Bag.oga"
