Database to the Songs list. Select all files (using CTRL+A), and right-click on any of the
selected files and choose Batch ->Analyze for BPM.
or
- Create a Filter folder with criteria isscanned=0 (see Filter folders) and gather all the
tracks that need to be scanned. Select any of them and Batch analyze for BPM using one of
the previously described methods. The advantage of following this method is that you can
choose small blocks of tracks to analyze each time (in case your Tracks collection is large).
