Sort by BPM on YouTube: questions
How does it sort by BPM?
Open Sort and pick BPM. The songs go from slow to fast, or from fast to slow when you reverse the order. You see the playlist before and after first.
Is it good for running and workouts?
Yes. A slow-to-fast order starts easy and builds up to your pace. For a playlist of only loud, fast songs, make a playlist by mood with the Workout preset.
Can DJs use it?
Yes. In BPM order the tempo changes only a little from song to song. To mix in key, sort by key: inside one key, the slower song comes first.
What happens to songs with no audio data?
They keep their places. Only the songs with audio data move, so a song that the catalogue does not know stays where it was.
Does the new order stay on YouTube?
Yes. Free Your Music changes the order of the playlist on YouTube, so every app that opens it shows the new order.
Is it free?
You can try the tool free and see the preview. Applying the change needs Pro. Every transfer between services is free, with no song limit.
Can I undo it?
Yes. The change goes to the playlist's History. Restore puts the playlist back as it was.
Does it work on playlists I follow?
No. Only the owner can change a playlist that you follow. You can merge it into a playlist of your own and use the tool there.
What else can Free Your Music change on YouTube?
On YouTube, apps may add songs, remove songs, change the order, and rename playlists. Apps may not change the cover, so the tools that need it are not there.
Where can I use it?
In your browser at freeyourmusic.com/app on any computer, on iPhone and iPad, and on Android.
