The invention relates to estimating tempo information directly from a bitstream encoding audio information, preferably music. Said tempo information is derived from at least one periodicity derived from a detection of at least two onsets included in the audio information. Such onsets are detected via a detection of long to short block transitions (in the bitstream) or/and via a detection of a changing bit allocation (change of cost) regarding encoding/transmitting the exponents of transform coefficients encoded in the bitstream. |
