That's right, less than 5 seconds.

First, I want to mention that this tool only applies to songs that are on Spotify. If the song you want to map is not on Spotify, this resource will not apply to your desire.

Step 1
Go to https://tunebat.com/


Step 2
Search for your song. The search bar is on the horizontal navigation bar, beside the TuneBat logo top left.


Step 3
Look at the results for your song. Click the one that you're looking for. If there are several results try including the artist's name into your search or preview the songs by clicking the blue button on the right of the box. You could also click the Spotify icon to direct you to the Spotify page to save time because loading the preview takes a while.



Step 4
There you have it, your song BPM and additional song information are located at the top of the page just under the navigation bar.

If you only need the BPM, no additional information, it is located on the result.

I'm disappointed you didn't keep pumping up the number throughout the post

Nice but what about the songs with various bpm like The hall of the Mountain king?I struggle to find the right bpm for each phases :(

two ways:
a) steal timing from someone who mapped the same version of the song before you
b) effort

lmao

as for this thingy, seems like it could come to handy for people starting out perhaps

but by the time you know what you're doing, it's faster to drop down the point and set the offset and bpm than to find the song there and then set the known bpm to correct offset

and it only tells one bpm even for songs that have multiple different quantized ones (not variable like Hall of the Mountain King that was mentioned here), which makes it quite a bit less usable when there are tempo changes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for single bpm it really is faster just to go to the chorus and tap along with the downbeats tbh

i wouldnt recommend using tunebat for song bpms as they can be incorrect with it

If you want to consistently get the most accurate timings for songs then just try timing it yourself in the editor. Set the offset accurately to what seems like the first major beat of the song then just change the bpm to something that fits, easier said than done.

Tunebat is also incorrect with songs that don’t have a stable BPM, so you will have trouble timing those kinds of songs if you aren't experienced with timing songs by default (Unless if you can replicate the timing points of a chart that has already timed it, but you'll need the same MP3 as it)

Tunebat is pretty accurate, in my opinion. I've mapped a few songs with it already, it seems to be spot on, except for songs with several bpm changes.
