64bit Version of beaTunes Released

tagtraum industries has announced version 2.1 of beaTunes, the popular iTunes library management utility for Mac OS X and Windows. Working in parallel with iTunes, beaTunes can analyze any music library, fill in missing and fix existing information in order to keep your library in shape and generate better playlists. It can even help find the titles of tracks that have no artist or title associated with them.

By analyzing the songs in an existing library and using customizable rulesets, beaTunes is capable of building playlists of similar sounding music. It can analyze any number of tracks, and detect various types of metadata, such as beats-per-minute (BPM), missing artist or album information, lyrics and their language, musical key, as well as song color - all of which are indispensable for DJs interested in beatmixing and harmonic mixing.

Feature Highlights Include:
* Sophisticated library inspection
* Automatic lookup of lyrics
* Duplicate detection
* Automatically determine BPM (beats per minute) and store the result in iTunes
* Automatically detect the musical key songs are in
* Create matchlists - playlists based on one or more sample songs and a set of rules
* Browse songs that match the currently selected song
* Customize the way matching songs are found
* Sort existing playlists so that matching songs succeed each other
* Categorize songs by their sound color
* Tags
* Better integration with online data sources


Version 2.1 is an important update and features many small internal improvements - the biggest one being support for 64Bit on OS X. It's also faster and sports additional or improved inspections for fixing up library metadata as well as integration of a new online database for BPM and key data.
