Hello,

I am a DJ and uses Mixxx quite a lot.

This might be outside the scoop of thunar, but one sweet thing for me
would be to have a BPM column.

Another idea could be to generate a icon based on the colour of the
songs frequency fingerprint, you can check:

http://bpmdj.yellowcouch.org/bpmanalysis.html#color

for a bit more information. Could be a cool thing or maybe just a total mess. :)
It's also possible to generate a colour tag depending on BPM which is
also kind of nice.
