I've analyzed ~2.300 WAV files - and ~ 12-15 tracks a BPM analyze isn't possible - (no error or info after analyzing) .. BPM field is empty ...

However - the songs are normal disco tracks with a 4/4 beat - Mixmeister BPM Analyzer works.

Try selecting the range of 88-175 and then drag/drop the files onto the 'analyze files' tab.
Know that either not having the proper range set for the specific type of file or leaving the range set to 'none' will often times not give you a bpm reading at all.

"Try selecting the range of 88-175" ... of course tried all versions - didn't help.

Please upload one of the files using the 'attach a file' tab and I'll take a look at it.

Just uploaded a WAV file where analyzing the BPM does not work.

MixMeister BPM Analyzer analyzes 125.2.

btw:

I have "Santa Esmeralda - Don't let me be misunderstood" (16 min version) from 2 differenet CD's. Analyzing BPM works from CD 1 but not from CD 2. Mystersious. Both tracks are ok.
