When I analyse my music in Virtual DJ for BPM etc. this does not appear in the info in the iTunes library.
Similarly if I change the track title in iTunes this won't update in VDJ.
Any ideas?
Thanks

ok so I tried the same thing on traktor, very easy and straight forward - loads the BPM onto itunes straightaway.
VDJ surely this a simple feature??

Do you write the analysed BPM to the tracks tags? If not you won't see any difference in itunes.
When you you rename a track in itunes are you writing to tags or are you renaming the actual file name, have you directed V8 to your itunes database?
You should really only work with (make changes) VDJs database as that's the important one.

After you changed your tags in iTunes, open up VDJ, browse to those tracks, mark them all do a rightclick on any of these files an choose "Batch - Load tags".
As Loco said, the BPMs in VDJ are stored in the VDJ database.xml. If you wish to always reflect changes made in VDJ to the Tags set the option "setTagsAuto" to yes.

Thanks for getting back to me guys
"Batch - Load tags" works well for loading in VDJ changes made in iTunes (e.g. track names)
but showing BPM analysed in VDJ in iTunes, doesn't appear to be possible. i set "setTagsAuto" to yes and still nothing shown in iTunes. Does it work for you?
it would be nice to know BPM in itunes for making playlists of songs with similar BPM.

Why not make your playlists in VDJ?

i am pretty sure the problem is iTunes uses Tempo tag not BPM which is used by vdj
if u want more info about tags see my post here http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/193684/PC_Version_Technical_Support/Tag_types_supported.html

are you using mac or pc wickedmix? i'm using this on my mac, i wonder is this is a mac itunes related issue.

update. found a strange solution, not an ideal one by all means though.
once the track on VDJ is analysed to get BPM- if I right click the track in VDJ and go to "tag editor", then press ok (without actually making any changes) - then the BPM will magically appear in itunes for that individual track.
it seems that by going into tag editor, it makes a change to the tag that itunes recognises, quite strange. has to be done individually as well so it’s not a solution for 1000s of tracks

If u have another tag editing app like mp3tag you can check the track to see if just scanning is updating the tags. To me it sounds like they are not this could be because of a setting or a bug hard to say which.
I would search tag in the vdj options and make sure you have the auto write stuff on.
Also and this may not apply to Mac but on PCM if a file is set to read only some programs will not update tags. Probably not the issue but worth a mention.

If you recurse your master folder, and select all, open the tag editor then every track's tags will be updated in one go.
