What is Pistonsoft BPM Detector?
Pistonsoft BPM Detector analyzes music files to estimate their tempo in beats per minute. It is intended for DJs and listeners organizing an MP3 collection by tempo: browse folders, scan tracks, compare the displayed BPM values and save the results to ID3v2 tags. The publisher also offers automatic scanning while browsing folders, keyboard shortcuts and an option to analyze only the opening seconds of each track.
Treat the result as a tempo estimate, not a description of a song's style or mood. Softonic's historical review reports unexpected BPM results for some songs; that is a third-party observation, not a test performed for this entry. The publisher explicitly lists Windows Vista compatibility, but the available product page does not establish Windows 10 or Windows 11 support, CPU architecture or the current installer version. The linked EXE was checked using HEAD only; it was not downloaded or run.
What it offers
- Estimate BPM for MP3 music files and display values in a folder-based interface.
- Save BPM values to MP3 ID3v2 tags.
- Automatically scan tracks while browsing folders.
- Limit analysis to the first few seconds of each song.
- Use keyboard shortcuts for program operations.
Good to know
- Windows Vista compatibility is documented; Windows 10/11 support and CPU architecture are not established by the available publisher evidence.
- Softonic's historical review reports unexpected results for some songs; BPM alone does not identify musical style or mood.
- The publisher page does not identify the current installer version or release date.
