BPM Plugin
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
This ``bpm`` plugin lets you to get the tempo (beats per minute) of a song by tapping out the beat on your keyboard.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
First, enable the plugin ``bpm`` as described in :doc:`/plugins/index`. Then, play a song you want to measure in your favorite media player and type::
|
|
|
|
beet bpm <song>
|
|
|
|
You'll be prompted to press Enter three times to the rhythm. This typically allows to determine the BPM within 5% accuracy.
|
|
|
|
The plugin works best if you wrap it in a script that gets the playing song. for instance, with ``mpc`` you can do something like::
|
|
|
|
beet bpm $(mpc |head -1|tr -d "-")
