Feedback The books are very easy to use and the cross referencing is extremely thorough. As a practical tool to generate new ideas for tracks to play they are exceedingly useful. It is all too easy to play the same favourites every time, mixed with guest requests, and become too predictable. Thanks for a great book. Tony Owen Orpington, Kent UK I received your BPM book last week. It truly is the best work of its type. I got the spiral-bound, which is an excellent type of spiral binding when I need to quickly leaf through the book. The lay-out of the book and organization of the data is very clever and user-friendly. This is a big improvement over other BPM books I've seen.

www.bpmdatabase.com
Please make it possible for us to continue this free service. Please donate through PayPal Thank you for checkin out BPMDatabase.com. We currently have indexed over 20,000 music profiles from contributors around the world and we are still growing. We hope you will find this site useful and come back whenever you are looking for a song's BPM, or have a song's BPM to submit. 1. What is the purpose of this site? This site was made for DJs around the world to obtain the Beats Per Minute of songs. Imagine needing to organize 200 of your records by Beats Per Minute one by one. To save yourself from hours of beat counting, you can just log on to BPMDatabase.com and obtain the BPM of music profiles we have. Just do not forget to submit music profiles that we do not yet have. =) 2. How can I help? If you have records with the BPM labeled on them, please help submit profiles we do not already have. If you find this site useful, let all your fellow DJ friends know about us as well. 3. How do I find the Beats Per Minute of a song? There are hardware and software beat counters you can use to find the Beats Per Minute of a song. If you do not want to spend any money on a hardware beat counter, there are software beat counters you can download for free. The following links have more information on beat counters and include software beat counters you can download for free: http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/taptempo.htm http://www.djingonthe.net/bpmcounter.html 4. Why can't I search by Genre? Many of our profiles that were submitted by contributors did not include the Genre field. This would result in users getting poor search results. We are currently looking for music fans who can help us categorize some of the profiles we have. If you would like to help, please contact us and let us know which Genre you feel you have expertise in. 5. Why can't I specify decimals in the BPM field? Doesn't that mean that some of the information on your site is inaccurate? Our database was created with the help of users like you around the world. Because we do not obtain our information from the artist's record label, users who count BPMs with beat counters may not be able to obtain the BPM to the tenths decimal place accuracy. For example, if a submitter obtains 120.4 BPM for a song but another submitter obtains 120.1 for the same song, there could be a debate on which one is more accurate. To make things easier, we recommend the BPM be rounded to 120 BPM instead. 6. How do I contact you with questions, comments, feedback, suggestions or bug reports? Send the webmaster an email at willwong@bpmdatabase.com.
