I noticed that ID tags in iTunes display the BPM field. I think it would be great to create smart playlists based on Beats per minute, however.... how do I know the number of beats per minute in a song?

Any thoughts?

Have access to a metronome?

Or you could pay a musician to catalogue it all for you.

Search MacUpdate for "BPM"... several utilities for helping tag your music with this new field came out shortly after the debut of iTunes 4.0. Most of them are just cheap little deals that ask you to press a button in time to the music and then tell you your average rate... real analysis requires more significant software.
