Topic: BPM into mp3 tags...how?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is there anyway to scan the BPMs and also add them to the mp3 tags?

I scan bpms with vdj but use Mp3tag for most of my changes.

Any ideas?

cheers

VDJ does not write to id3 tags despite repeated requests.

Maybe one day ..........
 
I think all DJ software should write to tags
 
write any information you want in the tags before transferring into vdj then select scan for tags, that way you have double back up the original tags and the data from vdj.
 
I use Mixed in Key. It overwrites the "comments" section of the ID3 info and places the BPM and the key of the song in this field. It is very helpful.

How exactly do you do this, manually or with software?

Once you wrte to the file tag, does the file tag infomation then become recoverable data back to VDJ if needed?

Joey....
 
Yes, you use the software. Enable ID3 tag writing in Mixed In Key, and set it to overwrite the "Comments" tag.

Mixed in Key is a great software I use it with all my music.. for BPM info and the camelot wheel mixing..
 
Yup, that's it! I use it all of the time
 
BTW: My favorite BPM counter (which most of the time gives the same results with VJ too) is MixMeister BPM Analyzer...
It's fast, free, and it does write BPM on tags!
 
I used to use MixMeister BPM counter but now that I have Mixed in Key it writes both the key and BPM for me.

Does it have to overwrite the comments field...? I use that for other information. I hear MixMeister writes the proper ID3 BPM tag.
