Anybody have any remedy for the lock up?
Any similar experiences? How many MP3s in your library?

And I just payed for a license.
After a few minor hiccups....and a few manual adjustments....working like a charm. Well worth the money! Buy this.
Don't assume it is hung....look at your logs and your activity monitor....and give this baby enough memory........
The average music library contains a couple of thousand songs and the default settings work well for a collection that size.
Your collection clearly falls in the *very large* category and adjusting the memory settings like you did is absolutely the right thing to do.
For others: Here's the corresponding link, http://www.beatunes.com/beatunes-outofmemoryerror.html

Thank you.

I can't live without this soft. It saves hours of management of iTunes Library, fixing misspellings, genres, etc.
BPM function is great and having the (accurate) BPM information in Traktor's iTunes list is great !
A must-have for anybody who wants to manage iTunes Library without pain.

beaTunes is one of the essential tools for anyone who wants to get the most out of their iTunes library and ver. 3 puts into the elite group of analysis tools. As a DJ, I find the key and bpm analysis to be extremely accurate and endlessly useful but anyone who love music and wants better ways to understand how to organize their library will find a lot of value with beaTunes.
I've been using it since 1.0 and one of the best things about beaTunes is the support of the developer, which I rate a 5+++. He really cares about the product and is always willing to help and to listen to user feedback.
Also, I've used beaTunes on Mac and Windows and it works identically, which is a positive result of the Java code base (don't let the Java codebase turn you off, it works very well).
It's very discouraging that Apple's needlessly restrictive policies have kept a well established app like beaTunes out of the Mac App Store. Let's keep supporting other avenues for Mac app distribution like MacUpdate!

Another thing I really like is how the creator of beaTunes has passion for what he has created. He seems to always be on the look out for how it can be refined and improved. It brings a lot of comfort knowing this application that i think is a need to have for anyone with iTunes is being actively maintained.

Regarding the inspection feature - it really does not do anything by itself. It merely suggests solutions you yourself then can actively choose. So in a way, beaTunes' inspection can't really mess anything up without you being the initiator (note, that this is different, when you import data from musicip/amplifind, which is an analysis step one has to be careful with).
Regarding accuracy, unfortunately, there is no third party comparison that I know of for BPM. But there is a recent one for key detection: http://www.djtechtools.com/2009/11/02/key-analysis-software-smackdown/
beaTunes' accuracy is equal to that of much more expensive tools that offer a lot less functionality.

It's an analyze option to fetch info from MusicIP.com
PS: the mess is fixed after a few hours. Some things had to be just deleted as I couldn't figure out where they were in the first place. If the song of a compilation ever existed on a separate album, it made an album with one song in it, dropping all info about where it was before. So I guess you have to be careful. I'm not saying the app is bad, but it can mess things up.

Thanks for taking the time to explain! Best wishes, Steve

The BPM, color, key matching/manipulating feature are amazing, and again, unique, so far as I know. This program gives you the horsepower to make some truly amazing playlists, discovering relationships between songs you'd never think of yourself, but when you hear, they make total sense.
The program is easy to use, and fun to use. Some of the features, like determining the BPM for songs, can take time the first time this is determined, but the more you use it, the "smarter" your iTune library becomes, so to speak. You really can make some amazing correlations, and learn a lot about the music you have.
Be warned, though, the program's addictive! You can spend hours having fun with your music and learning all about it. I've made some of my most enjoyable and fascinating playlists with this program, plus beaTunes does all the mundane kinds of fixing that the other song maintenance programs I have do. If you consider the "smarts" of this program, and all it's features, I think it's well worth the price if you're a music buff.

I get the impression they want $31.00 more if you want to use 2.00. That's a lot of money when you use it sparingly and just paid off the last version.
I short; there should be an upgrade price and not 'one size fits all.
I'm unhappy with this.

I should have read that (somewhere) that it was only $11 to renew. I'm right back on board and please forgive me.

The "mipcore" process launches multiple threads, and they keep running after all tasks are done, or even after beatunes quit altogether. They take 100% processor load and often keep running for so long for no apparent reason while the program should be idle and have to be force quit.

BUT: So far it did not work with my iTunes-Library on my external HD. It just does not save/sync the results...
I'd buy it, if I knew it just works on my G4 powerbook. The Shareware method limiting time I do not like. If I just could do a max of 10 files, I could try subsequent versions and test them on my PB.

support (a) beatunes.com
The problem I had, had nothing to do with beatunes itself, but with a corrupted DivX installation.
By the way: "The Inspector" is an awsome bonus-feature beside the BPM-Detection, since it helps me to correct Id3-Tags very fast and to delete dead entries in my iTunes-Library!
Thumbs up!

The only way I can change a BPM to its proper value is to use Tap Beat to figure out what it is, and then try to re-analyze the track in that range and hope it comes out right. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Manually trying to change the BPM field doesn't work either. Changes don't take.
