Tangerine! 1.0

I'm wondering how they give bloggers their free licence.

PotionFactory was offering free licenses to the 1.0 version while it was in beta for those who submitted bugs or blogged about the program. So I got it for free and it's totally worth it and a great app. $24? Not so much.

$24.99 is kind of steep for software you run like once.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple bought this app from them and incorperated into iTunes like the did with Coverflow.

ummm.... pretty much doesn't work. at all. rufus wainright @ 170 bpm! right, right.

For those who want something similar but less expensive (at the expense of a nice GUI), consider beaTunes (beatunes.com), which costs US$19.95 works on both Mac OS X and Windows. No, I am *not* affilated with them. I've yet to use either since I'm still on 10.3.9, but I'll be getting one or the other once I get Leopard.

Ok so... Maybe I'm missing something... Isn't @4 kinda steep for something you can do yourself?

Itunes + Itunes BPM inspector (yeah its a manual process as bpm detectors are lacking on the mac).

Create smart playlists based on BPM (which can be done in itunes).

I think $25 is way too much for this.

"If you have ever been working out, jamming to your iPod in the zone and then had a slow song come on you know how that can throw you off."

And you would know about that how, Scott????
;)

But beware the footnotes - "Tangerine! cannot analyze iTunes Store purchased songs due to the DRM"

I'll give it a spin. Hopefully they've ironed out the problems that it had in the beta version, namely that it couldn't detect tempo and beat intensity properly. Which was a shame, as that was the whole point of it.

I really hope this isn't going to be $24.95 for a nice GUI.
