What does GPL stand for?
It's the legal jiu-jitsu that has enabled Linux and countless other "Open Source" projects to remain free by preventing people from taking the code for free but then locking it back down.
I use it simply as an audio player. I like the way I can queue up songs and then let the Auto DJ play. I know other audio players can in principle do that but in Mixx it is very explicit. I also like to see key and BPM just to satisfy my curiosity.
I want to do scratching by pushing a button on my laptop keyboard (instead of dragging the spinning record with my mouse-cursor). Can Mixxx do this?
RekordBox is a well known piece of s** and it's great to see someone try to enter the arena. Now we need a legit competitor to the DJM / CDJ's which cost, all told, >$10k for a standard, club-ready setup.
Been using Mixxx since 2015, I haven't liked every update they put out, but its always been solid software.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I considered renting out some Pioneer equipment to add RekordBox playlist writing support, mainly because I'm in a similar situation. Mixxx does have support for reading USBs & SD cards, but not writing ;_; Unfortunately it's far down my priority list given the cost, my unfamiliarity with Mixxx development and that I rarely do anything without Mixx. But this is absolutely what ecosystem grants/bounties should be for.

Been using it for the past few years, nothing bad to say about it, lovely piece of software. Vendor lock-in is very present in this field, with different brands of controllers supported by a myriad of proprietary DJ applications all more interested in onboarding you to their music subscription services rather than implement useful features or support open protocols. Meanwhile, Mixxx allows you to write your own adapt…
To be fair, every commercial competitor (like Rekordbox and Traktor) also supports mapping MIDI devices that are not officially supported. But in my experience, you'll never be able to control the jogwheel as precisely as in officially-supported hardware-software combo.
Some Lights are buggy and the fix is not yet out.
Also Highlighting Tracks based on a fitting Key is only availible in the Alpha Branch of the software, which obivously has lots of other issues.
Besides that its an easy software which can handle all of my other feature requirements and it runs really nice.
So i would really recommend it ;)
