I would suggest a simple and useful (I think) feature. When a sample is loaded, I noticed that is being renamed. It would be nice to add the bpm in the filename.

like

p1rj1s_-_Could_It_Be_Me_[120bpm].mp3
or
snowflake_-_Longing_[120bpm].zip

I think this would actually be nice too. Tempo is meta-info that is essential to remixing in many cases and can’t just be figured out as easily as other meta-info like song key.

I actually already do this same renaming myself manually whenever I download a sample for remixing… so having it done for me would be nice!

yes that would be good to have, but … i find it easier ti get the tempo than the key, this would also be very handy :-)

Having various meta data in the file name is super convenient. I use some opensource SW (name fails me at present) to batch detect stuff like this and add it to the file name.

I’m glad others find this useful. Because I thought I was the only one (or one of the few), that need absolutely the bpm’s :)
