How do I get iTunes to populate the BPM column in my library?

I use beats per minute to select titles for playlists for my water aerobics classes. I figured out how to get the BPM column to appear in my library display, but there are no data in the column. I can't find anything in Help or elsewhere that says how to make that happen. Suggestions? I'm brand new to iPod, iTunes, etc. Thanks!

iPod classic, Windows XP Pro

This is a users' forum - Apple don't read anything here related to possible bugs or suggested changes. You can use their iTunes Feedback pageto submit enhancement requests ... though from the availability of 3rd party solutions and the fact that most iTunes users have no use for BPM data I would not assume it would get added to any development priority lists.

most iTunes users have no use for BPM data.... ?!? my wife just asked me to do a list of Prince songs to add for her Nordic walking trips, I need to create a list with prince songs of the same range of pbm.... don't you think that more users would prefer to have that kind of option compared to... let's say filtering by Bit Rates, Equalizer, Disc Number, Sample Rate etc ? or does Apple have a paid service to do that ? :-)
