Re: [Banshee-List] Crossfading and BPM detection

[Justin Strohm <jestrohm gmail com>]

Just a thought:  would it not be best for the purposes of more seamless transitions to sample at the beginning and end of the song in order to match the preceding and following songs, respectively?  I would think that this would be an easier route to reliable matches than trying to define a single value for each song.

Just fyi, I currently have bpmdetect processing the whole file, and it
spits out bpm values at various points - usually many per file - and I
take the mode of those as the one-true-BPM.
