First, the Akismet issues. The plugin is telling me I have five bad messages, but it’s only display two of them. The only option in the plugin is to “delete all messages”. I can’t view the other three messages to see if they are valid or not. I deactivated the plugin, and now all of the messages are gone. *sigh*

Now…the good stuff :D Beats Per Minute Analyzer! It’s free software from MixMeister DJ Mixing Software. I originally found the link to it at four0four.net which is Mat Walker’s website. This wonderful software will help you analyze beats in your mp3 files, which is useful for… oh… say…. StepMania Now, I didn’t read the documentation for the software as I found it pretty self-explanatory. After you drag-and-drop an mp3 file onto the software, make sure you use the reanalyze button on the toolbar to get the accurate BPM for the song. After you get the accurate BPM, you can plug it into StepMania and step your songs to the correct beat. The software also offers the possibility of adding the BPM to the ID3 tags of the mp3 file for future reference.

I have the flu, which SUCKS. :(
