Hi all, am encountering a rather baffling and irritating problem (Apologies if it’s known about already, have just tried a search but not found it). Basically, the BPMs are disappearing from some tracks on my playlists. It’s happening on tracks that have been on my iTunes for a decade or more too. I’ve tried re-running the “Analyze Songs” repeatedly but they just remain blank. Interestingly, it seems it’s the actual songs themselves that it’s having the problem with - as you can see on the screenshot linked to below, I have 2 different length version of Blondie’s “Atomic” on completely separate albums - and it’s got no BPM on both of them. How can this be happening?
Hi @Darren_Whiting, thanks for the details about your setup, the issue and the screenshot. This is very helpful. What music source are you using (Local Music, My Collection, Apple Music, etc.)? Are these songs stored on your internal device drive or an external drive? If you load this song to a deck, does it analyze the song and add the BPM to the library view?
Hi, these are files stored directly onto the iPad, synced from iTunes on my PC. I have access to Tidal too and can play the same Blondie track from there fine where it shows the BPM without any issue at all.
I’ve loaded both Blondie tracks to the left/right decks and they show like this…
Hi @Darren_Whiting, this is very strange. Thanks for the screenshots. I’ve passed this onto the engineering team to see if they can replicate the issue and offer any suggestions. Thanks.
Hi again @Darren_Whiting, can you please try analyzing these songs individually by selecting Analyze in the pop-up menu when selecting the 3 dots “…” at the far right side of the song in the Library view?
If this doesn’t solve the issue, can you please upload some of the affected songs to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the songs here? Thanks!
I got a fix but it’s hectic.
I had about 20 tracks appear like that on my iphone - bpm not displayed, despite how many times you re-analyze library!
This was affecting me because i sort my tracks by bpm when i play on iOS!
The cause might have been because i uninstalled and reinstalled djay many times and my iphone is a lackluster iphone 12 mini running iOS18.0.1, despite having nearly 900 mp4 video tracks stored in its Music app playlists i use in djay.
The songs’ metadata were spot on as seen on mac djay and no bpm display issues there.
Here’s what i did on iphone:
Load song on deck, click edit bpm (and show bpm editor as you did above).
If i know the bpm is 100, i click the pencil and first type it as 99 and enter. It saves it. Then i click the pencil again and type the correct bpm as 100 and enter again. It saves it.
Once i go back to library i find the bpm is displayed now for that song.
Repeated the same for the rest of the 20 tracks and now am good!
Qn: Oh, how do i show all tracks in my library with bpm display issues?
Ans: Yes, just sort entire library by bpm. They be at the bottom!
I am also having this issue with DJay Pro on Mac and tracks from Apple Music. The songs had a BPM after being initially analyzed but then the BPM disappeared after I loaded and played them. Re-analyzing them doesn’t restore the BPM.
Same oddly just a couple tracks seem to not display bpm but will do so once loaded. I sort by bpm often so awkward to find tracks bpmless on the bottom of the list
