Its accuracy really depends on the "beat intensity" which thankfully it calculates for you -- songs with a beat intensity over 55 are pretty accurately BPMd but I'm finding major errors in many of the songs under 55 (which is well over half my 30k song library). I'm a DJ so inaccurate BPM information is worse than none at all. On the upside, it calculates this info really fast - I let it run overnight and it got most of the 30k songs I threw at it - but, again, what's the point if it's not accurate?
