BPM Counter

Discover the Real Tempo of Your Music

You've probably seen online BPM databases that store the tempo of any song, but the truth is that each song can have multiple arrangements, each with its own unique tempo. Relying on general data is not enough when accuracy matters.

With BPM Counter, you don't just trust the average — you analyze the actual audio using advanced decoding technology. Our algorithm avoids common errors like octave errors, which often result in values that are double or triple the actual BPM. Unlike simplistic tools that cut out parts of the frequency spectrum, we use full-range audio decoders to ensure balanced and accurate results.

Fully Automatic

We built BPM Counter with simplicity in mind. If you know how to navigate folders in Windows, you already know how to use this program. Just select a folder from the left-side navigation bar, and the BPM finder will immediately scan for compatible MP3 and WAV files and start analyzing them - no dragging, no importing, no extra steps.

Fast BPM Detection

Our company has extensive experience in the development of DSP algorithms. Many of them are designed to extract features from a large number of audio files. BPM analyzer uses a single pass algorithm to calculate the tempo. You will not get the same accuracy as when using tuneXplorer, but for a quick estimation of BPM values, it will be quite enough. If the calculation is successful, the analyzer returns the BPM value with the specified accuracy. Otherwise, if the program cannot quickly calculate the correct BPM value or an audio decoding error occurs, it returns 0.

ID3 Tags Support

Once BPM detector identifies the tempo of a track, you can optionally save that information directly into the MP3 file's metadata using the widely supported ID3v2.3 standard. Why ID3v2.3 and not the latest version? Because compatibility matters most. Most major audio software still relies on this format, making it the safest bet for long-term usability. This feature is disabled by default so you can review the results before committing - and while WAV files don't natively support BPM tags, you can still store custom metadata if needed.

GUI and Console Versions

Modern workflows demand modern visuals. BPM Counter features a DPI-aware interface, meaning it scales beautifully across monitors of all resolutions - whether you're on a compact laptop or a high-end 4K workstation. Everything stays crisp, clear, and easy to read.

And for those who prefer working in the command line, we include a console version as well. It's perfect for developers or power users who want to integrate mp3 to bpm calculation into scripts or other applications. Just call it from your code and capture the BPM value straight from stdout.

Seamless Integration

BPM calculator doesn't exist in a vacuum. It works hand-in-hand with other audio utilities you might already be using - like recording tools, converters, and even tempo changers. Need to convert a file to a supported format first? We've got tools for that too. Want to adjust the tempo once you know the BPM? There's a utility for that as well.

Completely Free, Forever

Here's the best part: BPM Counter is absolutely free. No ads, no trial periods, no annoying pop-ups. Just a clean, focused tool that does exactly what it promises - and nothing more.

We believe great software shouldn't cost you extra or come with hidden risks. That's why BPM Counter contains no adware, spyware, or unwanted toolbars. It won't change your browser settings or mess with your system preferences. Just pure functionality, wrapped in a simple, elegant design.
