<p>beaTunes works best with <em>unencrypted</em> music you <em>own</em>. If you are using the streaming service Apple Music., you are just <em>renting</em> the music and the audio can only be read be Apple products. <a href="https://blog.beatunes.com/2015/07/the-unfortunate-return-of-drm.html">Unfortunately, that's how Apple wants it.</a></p>
<p>The only way beaTunes can find the BPM for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management">DRM</a>-encrypted music is by looking up values via the files' metadata, i.e. title , album, etc.</p>
<p>So to get the BPMs, you might want to select some songs (or choose <em>analyze all</em>) and then—in the analysis options dialog—make sure to check the option "Use online resources" for all tasks you are interested in (see attached screenshot). That way beaTunes first tries to look up BPM values instead of computing them using your files.</p>
<p>Hope this helps—let me know how this works for you,</p>
