About:
bpm-tools is a command-line utility designed to accurately detect the tempo of audio files in beats-per-minute (BPM). It analyzes the audio signal to find the dominant tempo, making it ideal for DJs, music producers, and developers needing automated metadata extraction. The tool supports various audio formats and outputs the calculated BPM directly to the console.

Key Features:

Accurate tempo detection using signal processing algorithms
Command-line interface for easy scripting and automation
Support for multiple common audio file formats
Lightweight and fast processing

Use Cases:

Batch processing audio libraries to add BPM metadata tags
Automated playlist creation based on tempo for DJs
Pre-processing audio files for music analysis applications

Alternatives:

librosa – Python library offering more complex audio analysis features but requiring programming knowledge
Mixxx – DJ software with built-in BPM detection, but a much heavier application for a single task
