Hey, all you most knowledgeable forum-goers, I have a Question.

Does anybody have any idea how I could go about making an animated GIF move to the (automatically detected) beat of a song?

I have an idea of how to detect the song's beat, by detecting any regular peaks in the bass notes, but this is only conceptually, I haven't a clue how to put it into code. Nor, in all honesty, do I have any experience in working with GIFs, so I'm going to need help pretty much from square one in this. 

If anyone knows of any ready-made solutions for this, or parts of it, that'd be great. The only language I've had any real experience in is Python, though I'd be willing to give any others people think would work a try.
