Description
If LMMS could write down the initial tempo BPM value to output file tags in format:
name:"BPM", value:"140" etc.
It'd make life easier for DJing my LMMS tracks with Mixxx.
It'd solve two problems I have with Mixxx's tempo analysis:
1. It detects 140 as 70 and 180 as 90 BPM etc.
2. It doesn't calculate integer values like 140, 170, but some strange fractions like 89,32403 etc.
If LMMS wrote this tag down, it'd save me a ton of time while preparing my DJ Set.
