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"
