I currently have one, but it works on the basis of tapping the space bar for each beat - and I'm worried about my space bar getting over used. Does anyone know of any programs that do this? I don't mind if you have to press a key (though I would prefer a much more obscure key, one that you don't use often, such as the 'Pause/Break' key; though I would prefer one that works with no input, so it analyses a song and works out the BPM - though I'm not sure how accurate those are.	agent (30)
