BPM column

Hi im new using Foobar2000 I just installed the BPM analyzer. When im listening to my music i want the BPM in order so i want to put a BPM column so i can arrange my playlist via BPM count. Can someone help me if possible to put a BPM column in my DEFAULT TAB where the curent music is playing? Thank you in advance.

file>preferences>display>default UI>playlist view. under custom columns, create a new one with any name and use

Code: [Select]
%bpm%


as the pattern. now click ok to close the preferences. now right click the column headers in the playlist to enable your new column. you can drag/drop if you need to re-arrange the order.

Hi Marc,

that is interesting, but, where should I add the CODE? It is something I also want.

the first sentence of my previous post tells you exactly where.

ok, so maybe a question from my side. Instead of %bpm% I use $meta(BPM) where BPM is the name of metadata field where BPM info is stored.
What is the difference when I use %bpm% instead? I mean - how it differs from the point of internal foobar routines - does this change anything?

In case of the BPM-tag there will be no difference. To differentiate between %tag% and $meta(tag) is highly important in case of fields that use field remapping like f.e. %album artist%. That field falls back to artist tag if album artist tag doesn't exist. In contrary to that $meta(album artist) would give back an empty value.

It would matter if BPM was a field with remappings, such as ARTIST or TITLE. As the wiki states too, when %artist% is used, it will look for the following fields in order and return the first with a value: ARTIST, ALBUM ARTIST, COMPOSER, PERFORMER. When $meta(artist) is used, it will check ARTIST and nothing else. In the case of BPM the results end up being identical.
