Idea #26201: I cannot find software for Ubuntu for analyzing the BPM of a music file

Written by deusdiabolus the 20 Oct 10 at 22:24. Related project: Mixxx (DJ software). Status: New
Rationale
As a DJ, I frequently find BPM information of a track to be important for mixing and beatmatching. Most current programs will take advantage of having this information prewritten in the ID3 tag of a file, but there don't seem to be any programs specifically for Ubuntu that allow you to do this.

Solution #1: Software that analyzes the BPM of a music file and writes it to the tag
Written by deusdiabolus the 20 Oct 10 at 22:24.
I would like to have a piece of software like Mixmeister's BPM Analyzer that analyzes a music file, calculates its BPM and then writes it to the info tag of the file - MP3, OGG, FLAC, etc. It would also be nice if the software allowed you to halve or double calculated BPMs (which is useful for correcting calculated BPMs for drum & bass).

Banshee does it, but the accuracy is not great.
