<p>first of all, please send your logs.</p>
<p>Then, please clarify how you want to export keys to iTunes, i.e.
whether you simply have them written to the comment field or
whether you use some plugin (which?).</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Thanks for the prompt response. I will forward the log(s). Below
is a screen shot of my plugins. I and running on a MAC and have
been able to write the Key to the Comments field and the BPM to the
BPM field in iTunes. I do have a brand new Mac Book Pro Touch which
is running on Sierra 10.12.3. Not sure if that really matters or
not</p>
<p>Logs to follow</p></div>cpwicks10934tag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/419435082017-02-13T11:00:57Z2017-02-13T11:00:57ZExporting Musical Key and BPM from beaTunes to iTunes<div><p>Hey Hendrik</p>
<p>My Logs have been uploaded. Please let me know if you did not
receive them.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>got the logs. On first glance there does not seem to be anything
wrong. Is this failing for <em>all songs all the time</em>?</p>
<p>It looks like you are running many analysis tasks at the same
time.<br>
Can you reproduce the issue, when running just the key and bpm
tasks?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>I had 3,900 songs I ran analysis on but since then I ran the
analysis on just one of the songs with the same result of not
exporting Key and BPM. Until yesterday I have been exporting this
information flawlessly. Can you tell me how to run just the key and
bam task?</p>
<p>I have run synchronize and it runs without any issues. I
don’t get any comments after synch hs run. Not sure if this
matters</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Below is a screen shot of where my iTunes Library is. I am not
sure if beatUnes is finding it.</p>

<p>Whenever you start an analysis, beaTunes displays an analysis
options dialog. There you can turn tasks on and off. Simply turn
everything but the BPM and key task off.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/419435082017-02-13T11:44:10Z2017-02-13T11:44:10ZExporting Musical Key and BPM from beaTunes to iTunes<div><p>Thanks</p>
<p>Will do</p></div>cpwicks10934tag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/419435082017-02-13T11:52:40Z2017-02-13T11:52:40ZExporting Musical Key and BPM from beaTunes to iTunes<div><p>The last songs that was analyzed according to the logs is:</p>
<pre>
<code>'(Last Night) I Didn't Get to Sleep At All'
album='The Fifth Dimension: Master Hits'
artist='The 5th Dimension'</code>
</pre>
<p>The BPM was determined to be 105 and according to the log this
was set via AppleScript (was it really?—the log does not show
me results from iTunes). The key was set to A flat major (9d).</p>
<p>I think beaTunes is doing its job.</p>
<p>However, digging a little deeper, I'm under the impression that
some of the songs are <em>shared</em> tracks. Meaning they are not
locally stored, but only available in iCloud/iTunes Match or
something similar. In these cases it becomes a little unpredictable
what iTunes does when told to store metadata.</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/419435082017-02-13T12:06:34Z2017-02-13T12:06:34ZExporting Musical Key and BPM from beaTunes to iTunes<div><p>Thanks Hendrik</p>
<p>I think they may be stored in iTunes Match and this probably
explains why they are not being populated with the BPM and Key.
Yjanks for your help</p>
<p>Mystery solved</p>
