Over To You: “I Want To Change All My Music To The Same BPM…”

Our reader wants to find some software to change the BPMs of all of his songs to be the same. Not only do we think this is a bad idea, but we have no idea if such a thing exists. Have your say below…

One of our readers has a slightly bizarre request. Mike writes: “Does anyone know of software that can batch adjust all of my music to a single BPM? I would like to save my MP3s to all the same BPM to speed up the time it takes for me to ready my next record when I am playing…”

Digital DJ Tips says:

We’re really not sure why you’d want to do this. With the “sync” button, you can adjust the BPM of anything to anything in just a second, but of course, that way you also have the option to play the track at the speed it was intended to be played at should you wish, too.

Remember, any processing like this has the disadvantage of degrading the sound quality of your music, and you gain very little by doing this. We certainly haven’t ever heard of any programs designed to do this, probably because to be honest, doing so really doesn’t make much sense.

So I’m going to throw this over to the readers…

Can you, dear readers, see any instances where this may be a good idea? Have you ever done it for whatever reason? Or would you like to join me in trying to talk Mike out of it? Leave your comments below…
