geeky musings; or, I hung out with too many DJ's this weekend

I wonder if it's possible, through wave analysis (IE the fast-fourier transformation), to figure out the BPM of a song. Because then you could run it, and have your MP3s sorted by folders or playlists named 120BPM, 130BPM, etc. Then if you wanted to mix stuff it would be easy.

how about writing some software
that could go through some giant archive of music and
tell me which tracks were good,
and which ones weren't?

then, even if i never listened to any of them
i could still talk like i was cool
