140 recordings on this site sit at 100 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Andante, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 600 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 300 ms, a dotted eighth 450 ms and a sixteenth 150 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 50 BPM and double time is 200; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.

16 of them are in A minor, more than any other key at this tempo.
