I'm attempting to populate the BPM tags for a fairly large MM library (~14000 songs/tracks). As far as I could tell, MM does not have any built-in functionality to do this, and all of the BPM auto-detection software is unreliable (which is somewhat understandable). However, I noticed that there seem to be multiple online databases of song BPM info, including:
http://songbpm.com/
http://www.bpmdatabase.com/search.php
My initial queries seemed to indicate that at least one of the BPM DBs possess a fairly diverse and extensive set of values, and would therefore be a worthwhile source of metadata.
And it seems to me that the process of looking up the BPM (e.g. for 1+ tracks highlighted in MM, and matching by artist, title, and/or track duration, etc.) on such a site shouldn't be too much different than looking up cover art or other tag metadata from other online DBs.
Do any MM scripts or extensions exist for BPM DB lookup? Or can anyone point me to any existing scripts/extensions that might be easily modified for such a purpose? Or any tips on how to easily update BPM and/or tempo metadata for a large library in some other way?
Thanks for your help.

Re: BPM/tempo Lookup
Also looking to do this... Did you get any ideas ?
Re: BPM/tempo Lookup
I'd also appreciate information on how to do this. I currently use MixMeister BPM Analyzer. It does fill the BPM field automatically, but I don't find the results to be totally accurate.
