Dear Mark.

How did you exactly try it?
Do you use BPM scan at the moment of playback to a deck to determine
the exact bpm it is playing, or do you find it by using the BPM value on the
tag  (constant) and changing that according to the pitch?

In both cases, if the pitch is fluctuating, i assume you could sampe the
results!?
And round it to the nearest decimal!?
