I have hundreds of CDs (many thousands of Songs) that I have collected since 1984. Before MP3, I would catalog songs in a database... and carry a PC with me on DJs to search and find songs on many criteria. One that I use a lot is BPM, which I used to manually count and enter into this database. VDJ does this (*), but often doubles, halves, and sometimes just plain misses the speed.
So, I have not found a way to have the VDJ BPM I save write to the actual MP3 file. If there is a reasonable way to do this, I just am missing it. I end up using another application to manage the MP3 tags. As you can guess, the VDJ database file gets way out of sync. I end up deleting it and having VDJ recreate it. The longest part of doing this is calculating the BPM rate. My goal is to have a BPM for every song, eventually. Until then, I am blowing the VDJ data base file away and letting the PC run over night to get the BPMs that are not already in the MP3 files recreated.
It would be great if being able to save the BPM rate back to the MP3 file were possible. I could live in VDJ and not have to do the crazy extra steps I need to get the MP3 files looking good and have the MP3 file updates already be in VDJ.
I hope this is a popular item for others.
(*) By the way... Thank you for fixing the 50 BPM minimum limit that was in VDJ7! I have a number of songs in the 40 BPM to 50 BPM range that no longer misreport in VDJ8.

Didn't previous versions do this? Please add this feature - write BPM to metadata.

VirtualDj will write the BPM to the tags when you have the option "setTagsAuto" to yes

There is something wrong in my system. When "setTagsAuto" is set to no, and I push the button "write tag", the BPM is added to the the tag. When it is set to yes, I add new music, analyze BPM, the BPM is not automaticly added.

solved: it was a problem in updating Itunes. BPM was in the tag.
