NAME

       findbpm - average keypresses over the length of a song to find the BPM

SYNOPSIS

       findbpm song.ogg

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  plays  a song file (in Ogg Vorbis or MP3 format) and lets
       you tap along on the spacebar, calculating the BPM (beats  per  minute)
       in  the  song as you go. It also gives you an offset in milliseconds of
       when you started tapping, compared to when the song  started.  You  can
       then use these two values to create a step file for that song.

BUGS

       This is only as accurate as your sense of rhythm. :)
