No option for BPM there. Also, I am trying to get the BPM's for the song I all ready have in my playlist.

iTunes has a place to store the BPM, but it offers no means to automatically populate that field.

To calculate the BPM, you need to run a 3rd party program. A good one is beaTunes BPM Detection, which works seamlessly with iTunes.

Hi, the beaTunes app probably works well, never tried, but it's really, really expensive. I'm a DJ and use ItjBPM. A CHEAP app that works great on my imac... Easy to use as well.

Good luck.

i have just downloaded ItjBPM but when I open it I get nothing but a tiny window with two buttons: "..." and "reset". The "..." is greyed out and "reset" does nothing. There is no indication on how to use this app - any guidance??
