iTunes BPM Counter

Hi there,
I'm trying to find a programme or a plug-in that allows me to check the BPM (Beats Per Minute) for my iTunes library, and therefore allows me to create specialised playlists.
There are many out there, but only for Mac, and I'm on Windows.
Please advise.

Acer Aspire 5735, Windows Vista

The program I use to automatically calculate and insert the BPM into MP3 files is MixMeister BPM Analyzer - http://www.mixmeister.com/bpmanalyzer/bpmanalyzer.asp

It's the best one I've found so far, it's freeware and it works on Windows and Mac. It doesn't work with AAC files though as far as I know.

Hope this helps!

I use the one from MixMeister, too.

I found it from this page

Thank you both for reccomending MixMeister, I have downloaded it, but the results that have come back are not very accurate, and the software seems quite limited in it's capability.
Does anyone know any others that can be used on Windows?

You can look at professional DJ software such as Serato or Traktor.

Did you look at that link I posted? It's an article that explains several other BPM analyzer programs...some free, some not.

It's not just another link to Mixmeister, if that's what you thought...
