Beat Analyzer
Mixmeister has put out a free tool, aptly named BPM Analyzer, that figures out digital music's Beats Per Minute (BPM).
I think the intention behind the Beat Analyzer tool is so that DJs can sort and then play songs with similar BPMs to keep that dance floor hoppin'.
If you are an exerciser who likes to listen to your iPod while you work out, this little free download can be pretty helpful. I sorted my music library by BPM and put all my songs that are 75-82 BPM in a separate playlist on my iPod. My running pace is about 78 BPM (or 156 strides per minute) so now I can run along right with the beat of my music. I can even arrange the music so that the homestretch sprint accelerates to 85-90 BPM.
One disclaimer: it's not real accurate with acappella music. The music needs some good percussion so the program can recognize the down beats.

(not that I run very regularly)
However, you are running SOMETIMES!Maybe eventually you can put sons that are 100 to 110 per minute and win a gold medal.
That will be for the senior Olympics!!
