I have begun the arduous task of logging the beat marks by hand. I ended up
using a program called RX 8 by Izotope to display the "spectral" music view
since it shows a little more clarity than Audacity and it displays the exact
time where the cursor is so it's easy to get the info. In many instances there
are several beats per second, for example:

23.116
23.242
23.393
23.549
23.675
23.829
23.961

Also this particular song does not have a regular, constant beat - it changes
continually. It took well over an hour, probably closer to two hours just to get
to the 44 second mark but it is possible. I wish I could use your script but I
think it would be impossible to get accurate results, at least for this song. If
you haven't heard it check it out and you'll see what I mean...

Plus listening to it will make your day better!
