abstract = "This is an extended analysis of eight different algorithms for  musical  tempo  extraction  and  beat  tracking. The algorithms participated in the 2006 Music Informa-
tion Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX), where they were evaluated using a set of 140 musical excerpts, each with beats annotated by 40 different listeners. Performance metrics were constructed to measure the algorithms’ abilities to predict the most perceptually salient musical beats and tempi of the excerpts. Detailed results  of  the  evaluation  are  presented  here  and algorithm performance is evaluated as a function of musical  genre,  the  presence  of  percussion,  musical meter and the most salient perceptual tempo of each excerpt.",
