Version: MixMeister BPM Analyzer 1.0
Pros: I've been looking for a BPM analyzer for a while now and finally stumbled upon one of the nicest applications I may have ever used. It's amazingly simple to use and fairly accurate from what I can tell. It also saves the data for you automatically as it finishes the analysis and adds it to your ID3 tags so that you can sort by BPM and make playlists.
Cons: The occasional misreading due to alternating BPMs within a single song -- nothing critical though.

Version: MixMeister BPM Analyzer 1.0
Pros: extreemly Easy to use
drag and drop capacity
fast enough for me
rescanning will reinput BPM that you have entered manualy before if you think they were wrong.
printing ability
I am not sure how accurate it is, but from the other reviews it seems to be accurate enough.
Cons: no grid for easy reading of corresponding BPM to song when doing many songs at a time, and need to input the data somewhere else instead of printing or saving it.

Version: MixMeister BPM Analyzer 1.0
Pros: This program does its job well and fairly quickly, too. It automatically updates the mp3's tags so you don't have to worry about manually inputting anything. The BPM's it does calculate though, are occasionally off. For example, it will calculate a song's BPM to be 85 when in reality it's 170 or vice-versa. Nothing major, and it can be easily fixed manually.
Cons: One of my only gripes is that it doesn't round the BPM up to the nearest whole number. If it calculates a song to be 139.99 BPM then it'll keep it at 139. Again, nothing major, but for the obsessive-compulsive among us, it can get pretty annoying. =P
Also, for just a few songs, the program renamed the titles in the tags. If a song's actual file name was something like "01_Turn_it_Around.mp3", then it changed the name to "01_Turn_it_Around" in the ID3 tag. I don't know why it did it, but it was only for a few songs. Strange...

"Simple, But doesn't work for me, not accurate enough"
Pros: I like that the software saves it to the ID3 tag and that it ATTEMPTS to accurately give me a BPM reading.
Cons: Being a professional DJ I thought I would give it a shot instead of guessing them in my head when I first hear them or seeing them on my display. I just downloaded this program 2 hours ago and the 22 files I had it analyze are all wrong compared to my BPM readout on my Pioneer's. It will occasionally jump up to what MixMeister BPM says it is, but def not long enough to be considered as its primary BPM. I wish there was an option even just for print purposes for the BPM to be analyzed in 3 counts. 1st from the first third of the song, 2nd for the second and so on.. Most DJ's don't care about the BPM in the middle as much as they do the beginning and the end. If you are getting this program to analyze songs for mixing purposes, your better off doing it manually on your tables.
