Build better iTunes and iPod playlists using beaTunes. By analyzing the songs in your existing library beaTunes is capable of finding songs that simply match.
Could your last mix CD's song order use some improvement? Let beaTunes re-arrange your playlist for you!
Always wondered how you could take advantage of the BPM (beats per minute) field in iTunes? Let beaTunes fill in the blanks and help you while DJ'ing at your next party.
To avoid disappointment: Due to the very nature of digital rights management systems (DRM) like FairPlay, beaTunes cannot analyze files protected by these systems.
Note that products bought from iTunes Music Store typically fall into this category.
