Hi, VDJ 2 stores information about music this way:









I want to create a VB program to wrote in a MDB file information about the song, so, I can create a database with zillions MP3s and order by BPM to get similar BPM songs.

The question is: how I convert this number in BPM, like showed in VDJ?



This is a 140.0 BPM song. Any ideas? (yes, I'm a bit nerd)

Thanks!

Ops, HTML format was removed.

<Song FileName="Living on a Prayer - Dalimas.mp3" FileSize="7259324">
<Infos SongLength="13337856" Date="409141902" />
<BPM Bpm="18897" Phase="5600" />
<FAME IsScanned="1" Volume="8905" />
<Automix MixType="2" TempoStart="269758" TempoEnd="12363838" CutStart="23328" CutEnd="13213696" FadeStart="1205760" FadeEnd="12644864" />
<Cue Num="0" Name="Cue 1" Pos="5688" />
</Song>

I mean this line:

<BPM Bpm="18897" Phase="5600" />

Thanks.

You could also select 'recursive' on your music root map (to see all songs), and then order by bpm in vdj... Much easier... :)

Bpm is the exact number of samples between 2 beats.

So, to find the regular BPM (less accurate): 60*44100/bpm.

Your song is not at 140.0 bpm.

It is a 140,02222575011906651849499920622 bpm song.
