beaTunes is a full-featured music player and organizational tool for music collections.

As a player is is clunky, prehistoric-looking and not responsive (slow to respond to something as basic as clicking a track to play it, spinning wheel issues etc). As an organizational tool, it is scary, does not always yield correct results. All this is very sad as conceptually it could be a great app and has no true competition. Year after year I hope it gets better, but no.

There is no extremely basic info on what the menu bar items mean. I thought this was supposed to fix music info. It seems a number of songs got wrong data, artist changed, etc... well anyway, not for novice. Nowhere to find info on how to use. i guess you just have to know.

The new version (5.2.6) works great. It can eliminate 99% of existing problems. I would rather give it ******

BeaTunes is approachable as a general music playback app while remaining a robust and novel DJ library management utility that is initially unassuming for the novice but still expansive and delightful for the veteran. Its interface has a distinctly Apple vibe with its familiar 3-pane setup making it easy to navigate, but it’s dotted tastefully with with helpful, colorful information throughout. The hallmark feature of beaTunes is its ability to analyze your music and display BPM, musical key, and ‘color’, which is analogous to the mood of the song. Songs of the same or similar color sound great together; very different colors will be more jarring when played back to back. These are the most basic bits of analysis that you can have performed on your music, but for the true audiophile that wants to emphasize the particulars, there is a world of granularity lying just under the surface. Your first launch of beaTunes will be the most time-intensive one as it scans your library and analyzes each track with an ear for a series of information. beaTunes is an all-in-one master of your library, able to edit and update metadata as easily as it offers a semantic breakdown of a song’s structure. For the perfectionist DJ, volume levels are at hand to avoid any jarring volume transitions, song key is at hand to ensure a harmonious set, and color is made obvious to keep the mood going in the right direction. And for a user just trying to make an action or event specific playlist, beaTunes is the perfect option as it takes all the guesswork out of playlist creation, offering up great suggestions and crucial information to give you variety that works beautifully and seamlessly. Whether you need an iTunes library helper or a full-featured DJ library utility, beaTunes is poised to help just about anyone.
