beaTunes - building better playlists
![](support_files/main_logo.png)
- Fix up your metadata - it will perform some basic text analysis to look for inconsistent spellings of artist, album, genre, artists with inconsistent genre info, missing audio and such.
- Detect BPM - beaTunes can analyze your (Non-DRMd) music to find the beats-per-minute for each song and add the info to your iTunes music database, (iTunes already supports a BPM field, it just doesn't know how to populate it)
- Generate similar playlists - beaTunes will generate interesting playlists by finding similar songs (based upon the BPM and a notion of song similarity)
There's a trial version of beaTunes that you can use for a week. If you want to use it for longer than that, you need to fork over $20.
