19 recordings on this site sit at 82 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 731.7 milliseconds. That makes an eighth note 365.9 ms, a dotted eighth 548.8 ms and a sixteenth 182.9 ms — the delay times that will sit in time with anything at this tempo.
Half time is 41 BPM and double time is 164; a tempo detector that disagrees with this page by a factor of two is usually counting one of those instead.
4 of them are in B flat major, more than any other key at this tempo.
