Better BPM detection (especially not confusing Fast songs with half BPM Hip hop)

As per subject, practically any fast track around 140BPM is being detected as 80BPM etc.

Those music genres are really distinct so please make your detection algorithm a tiny bit more sophisticated. That will save a lot of work and time and result in positive experience with Serato.

If you don't have anyone that can think of algoritm like this I can provide simple discription, for example when there is a steady beat of certain amplitude for 10 seconds and the beats are in 140 bpm then it is 140 BPM track, if there is a lack of beats in the pattern THEN and only THEN you can write it as 80BPM susspecting some hip hop. It is really easy.
I am really surprised that you are not ashamed than most of random BPM detection free apps can do it better. (not to mention dj software).

sorry, I have put 80BPM instead of 70BPM (or 140 instead of 160) but you get the idea and the fact is I don't really know what is the BPM, I just guess it's detected as half BPM.

This happens with most software out there. I agree it's annoying and I'm constantly finding tracks that got half bpm'd when cleaning up my library.

Never happened to me on Virtual DJ, so I disagree with generalisation like this.
Also it sometimes doesnt detect the bpm at all.

Never had that issue in all of my years, but the halving is a common complaint. I'd just stick with VDJ if that works better for you.
