A BPM (beats per minute) finder is a tool that can detect the tempo of a song, while a key finder analyzes a piece of music and identifies the key in which the song is played in.
BPM and Key detection software can be used by DJs to help match the tempo and music key of different songs and create seamless song transitions, music producers as a tool to create song mashups or remixes, sound designers to ensure that their choice of music or sound effects are in sync with their content, fitness instructors to create workout playlists based on their tempo and energy, and music listeners who are just curious of the BPM or key of a song.
Even though there are many music analysis tools available online, none of them are alike. Many BPM and key finders may utilize different detection algorithms. Due to this, BPM detection software may sometimes be inaccurate, especially when a song has either irregular rhythms or inconsistent time signatures.
