Windows Explorer Details - Show BPM column

[dcorleto]

I would like to have the beats per minute tag shown in a column when viewing mp3 and wma files in Windows Explorer so that I could view/sort them in that order. Is there a way to show the BPM details without using 3rd party software? The BPM tag is already embedded in the files and has already been calculated.

THanks in advance to anyone who can help

This is decidedly, however, a non-trivial programming task. You might look again at freeware alternatives, such as:
