108 recordings on this site sit at 125 beats per minute once each one's analyses are reduced to their median. A score would call that Allegro, by the ranges printed on the data page.

One beat lasts 480 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 240 ms, a dotted eighth 360 ms and a sixteenth 120 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.

Half time is 62.5 BPM and double time is 250; 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 C major, more than any other key at this tempo.
