AutoBPM Plugin#

The autobpm plugin uses the Librosa library to calculate the BPM of a track from its audio data and store it in the bpm field of your database. It does so automatically when importing music or through the beet autobpm [QUERY] command.

To use the autobpm plugin, enable it in your configuration (see Using Plugins).

Configuration#

To configure the plugin, make a autobpm: section in your configuration file. The available options are:

  • auto: Analyze every file on import. Otherwise, you need to use the beet autobpm command explicitly. Default: yes

  • overwrite: Calculate a BPM even for files that already have a bpm value. Default: no.
