I know that BPM is defined as integer value (ID3 tag) but a lot of programs (e.g. Tag & Rename, BPM Analyzer, mp3tag.de, etc.) also support fractional places / digits.

Why not Serato?

I have tagged my files - forgotten to protect my library - and Serato has updated my BPM's - without fractional digits. :-(

Maybe there were some discussions - but hard to find. ;-)

Thanks

i think you will have to use your hears on this one - in all fairness, bpm reading should work more as a reference than a mixing aid but that's just my opinion

When you build overviews on your files with SSL it calculates the BPM to two decimal places, however, it only shows rounded whole numbers.

I'm djing since 1983 - so I know how to mix. ;-)

I only want to have the BPM's as correct data in the files.

good for you man - didn't want to turn this into a 'mine is bigger than yours'
