Comment on Last.fm launches crowdsourcing experiment for tempo (BPM) detection

Comments

Even with the app it seems really hard to find the beat. It's really easy to find the bass hit though, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the tempos are off by 1/2 or 1/4.

Yes, definitely. That's part of what I was getting at with my reply elsewhere in this thread (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2540866 ). The perceived beat can actually be different depending on who is listening, and what they're focusing on.
