This is completely trivial.
I have 35,000 Wav files and not one of them is below 60BPM
Does anyone know of any tracks that are less than 60BPM?

I'd be interested to know how you know this. Wav format doesn't allow metadata without third party tools which effectively break the file standard in order to embed which may present compatibility issues in the future.

Do you have some kind of tool which stores file info in a database or XML or similar?

Well you did say trivial!

Elaine Paige's "Memory" (from the musical "Cats") made number 6 in the UK singles chart in 1981.

It has a BPM of 55.

:D

allot are but come out at double on itunes.

for example fireflies is 180 bpm but is a very slow track.
no diggity 177 that kind of thing.

allot or reggae classical and dubstep too.

Answering your questions no.

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing compares to you is probably around that BPM but I can't think of any occasion you might want play that..

Yes, Virtual DJ keeps a XML file of the data - It is about 7MB in size.

That is interesting. Virtual DJ says it is 115.2...

It looks like VDJ is doubling the BPM if it is less than 60BPM.

Thanks for your help.

In your vdj setting there is an option to "allow bpm less than 80"

Here's a list of 100bpm, some of which could be below the target if at half time..

and some 80bpm which could be sneaked in with a little application of Master Tempo...
