6.3.2. Ontbrekende tracks¶
Nieuw in versie 1.11.
The Missing Tracks view is accessible by expanding the Library tree item in the sidebar. Any tracks that were previously loaded into your library, but were later detected to be missing from your hard disk by Mixxx will appear here. Mixxx does not automatically delete records of missing tracks so that extra metadata Mixxx might have (such as hotcues and the beatgrids) will not be lost if the file is replaced.
De kenmerken in detail:
Knop Alles Selecteren: Hiermee selecteert u alle tracks in de huidige weergave.
“”Knop Opschonen”: Verwijdert de geselecteerde tracks uit de Mixxx bibliotheek, maar verwijdert ze niet van uw computer. Deze actie verwijdert alle metadata die Mixxx heeft voor een track.
6.4. Auto DJ - automatiseer uw mix¶
The Auto DJ queue is a special playlist that contains extra
controls for automatic mixing. This is useful for taking a break from live
mixing or for using Mixxx as media player.

De Auto DJ-functies in detail:
Shuffle button: Shuffles the content of the Auto DJ playlist.
Knop Track Overslaan: Hiermee slaat u het volgende nummer in de Auto DJ-afspeellijst over.

6.5. Playlists - Organizing your tracks¶
Playlists are ordered lists of tracks that allow you to plan
your DJ sets. Some DJs construct playlists before they perform live, but others
prefer to build them on-the-fly.
Playlists are not directly loadable into the decks as Mixxx is primarily intended for live, attended performance use. However, you can use the Auto DJ explained below.
Create a playlist: Right-click on the Playlists sidebar item and select New playlist. Name the playlist and click OK.
Add Tracks: Add tracks to a previously created playlist by dragging-and-dropping a selection of tracks from the library or playlists onto the name of a playlist in the sidebar. Alternatively, use the right-click context menu in the library`s track list.
Right-click on an existing playlist’s name to access the different features in the context menu:
Toevoegen aan Auto DJ: Voegt de inhoud van de afspeellijst toe aan de Auto DJ wachtrij voor automatisch mixen.
Rename: To rename a playlist, just put in a new playlist name and click OK.
Dupliceren: Soms wilt u een afspeellijst samenstellen op basis van een bestaande afspeellijst. Selecteer de afspeellijst die u wilt dupliceren, kies Dupliceer Afspeellijst, geef de nieuwe afspeellijst een naam en klik op OK.
Vergrendel:
Dit icoon geeft een vergrendelde playlist aan. Als een afspeellijst is vergrendeld, kunt u geen tracks toevoegen, de naam wijzigen of de afspeellijst verwijderen. Kies Ontgrendel uit het context menu om de playlist te ontgrendelen.Remove: Removes an unlocked playlist. Tracks in the playlist are still available in the library for later use.
Import playlist: Import tracks from external playlists to a playlist in various file formats. For more information, go to iTunes, Traktor, Rhythmbox - Using external libraries.
Export playlist: Export a playlist in various file formats, such as
m3u,pls, orcsv. Ideal for processing the data in other applications.
6.6. Crates - Working with track collections¶
Crates are unordered collections of tracks, and are similar to
playlists. Think of it like a DJ case to organize your favorite vinyls into.
Create a crate: Right-click on the Crates sidebar item and select New Crate. Name the crate and click OK.
Add Tracks: Add tracks to a previously created crate by drag-and-dropping a selection of tracks from the library or playlists onto the name of a crate in the sidebar. Alternatively use the context menu in the library’s track list.
Klik met de rechtermuisknop op de naam van een bestaande krat om de verschillende functies in het contextmenu te openen:
Hernoemen: Om een krat te hernoemen, voert u de nieuwe kratnaam in en klikt u op OK.
Dupliceren: Net als afspeellijsten kunt u een bestaande krat dupliceren. Selecteer de krat die u wilt dupliceren, kies Dupliceer Krat, geef de nieuwe krat een naam en klik OK.
Slot:
Dit icoon geeft een vergrendelde krat aan. Als een krat vergrendeld is, kunt u geen tracks toevoegen, de naam wijzigen of de krat verwijderen. Kies Ontgrendel uit het context menu om de krat te deblokkeren.Verwijderen: Verwijdert een ontgrendelde krat. Tracks in de krat zijn nog steeds beschikbaar in de bibliotheek voor later gebruik.
Import crate: Import tracks from an external playlist to a crate in various file formats.
Export crate: Export a crate in various file formats, such as
m3u,pls, orcsv. Ideal for processing the data in other applications.
6.6.1. Kratten vs. Afspeellijsten¶
Crates are unordered collections of tracks. Unlike playlists, they cannot contain duplicate entries and do not support drack-and-drop within them.
Playlists serve a limited purpose of keeping an ordered list of tracks. You can right-click a playlist to queue it to Auto DJ, so in a sense you can “play” it.
Often DJs keep a playlist of favorites or plan a list of tracks they want to play at a party. In these cases they rarely care about the order since they will likely choose the order at the party based on the dance floor and mood and they certainly don’t want duplicates. This is where crates come in. You can think of them like labels in GMail or Web 2.0 tags for your music.
On the other hand, if you want to specifically plan out a set and practice the transitions you might want to keep an ordering of tracks or repeat them (if you plan to mix a track back in later on) so in that situation you could use a playlist.
6.7. Browse - Loading remote tracks¶
Browse mode works like a file-manager and allows you to load
tracks that are not necessarily already in your Mixxx library.
Click the Browse sidebar item to navigate the computer and find your
music. Depending on your operating system, the music will usually be
found in the “My Music” or “Music” folder. Drag the files you want to import to
the Library icon or directly to the
Waveform Weergaven.
Notitie
Currently you can drag only files but not folders to the Mixxx library.
6.7.1. Quick Links - Maak een bladwijzer van uw favoriete mappen¶
Nieuw in versie 1.11.
Using the Quick Links sub-menu you can bookmark folders for direct access. Click the Browse sidebar item and navigate to the folder you would like to bookmark. Right-click and choose Add to Quick Links. The folder is now pinned below the Quick Links. To un-pin that folder, right-click and choose Remove from Quick Links.
6.8. Opnamen¶
In this section of the library you can start and stop
recordings well as view previous recordings and the dates they were made.

Voor meer informatie, ga naar Recording your Mix.
6.9. History - Keep track of your last sessions¶
Nieuw in versie 1.11.
The history section automatically keeps a list of tracks you
play in your DJ sets. This is handy for remembering what worked in your DJ sets,
posting set-lists, or reporting your plays to licensing organizations. Every
time you start Mixxx, a new history section is created. If you don’t play a
track during the current session, it will be discarded.
Dit icoon geeft de huidige sessie aan.
Click on the History icon in the sidebar to switch to the History view, then right-click on a sessions name to access the different features:
Toevoegen aan Auto DJ: Voegt de inhoud van de sessie toe aan de Auto DJ wachtrij voor automatisch mixen.
Rename: Rename a session, default is the calendar date (YYYY-MM-DD).
Remove: Remove a previous session, but not the locked sessions or even the current session.
Lock: Protect a previous session against accidental merge and deletion. An icon indicates a locked session.
Join with previous: Join the current history session with a previous one.
Export playlist: Export a session in various file formats, ideal for processing the data in other applications.
6.10. Analyze - Preparing your tracks¶
Mixxx automatically analyzes tracks the first time you load
them in a deck, nevertheless it is recommended that you analyze them before
playing live with them to ensure the beatgrids are correct. Furthermore, track
analysis takes considerable CPU power and might cause skips in the audio —
things you surely don’t need while performing.
The Analyze view allows you to run BPM and beatgrid detection on tracks in advance. Waveforms are generated as part of the analysis as well.
Veranderd in versie 1.11: Shows the progress in percentage and total queue length while analyzing.
The Analyze features in detail:
All / New: Allows you to view a list of either all tracks in the library or tracks added to the library within the last 7 days.
Select All: Selects all tracks in the current view.
Analyze: Starts the detection on the selected tracks.

For more information, go to BPM and Beat Detection.
6.11. iTunes, Traktor, Rhythmbox - Using external libraries¶
The iTunes (Windows/Mac OS X),
Traktor (Windows/Mac OS X), and
Rhythmbox (GNU/Linux) views allow you to use the music
libraries you have created in these applications. You can access music and
playlists. If available, Mixxx automatically loads the external libraries from
their default locations on your hard drive.
Klik met de rechtermuisknop op het iTunes icoon in de Bibliotheek-structuur en selecteer Kies Bibliotheek om de iTunes Music Library.xml van een andere locatie te laden. Selecteer Gebruik standaardbibliotheek om te resetten.
Nieuw in versie 1.11.
Right-click on a iTunes/Rhythmbox/Traktor playlist and choose Import Playlist to import it to be a regular Mixxx playlist.
If you have an iTunes configuration file (
*.xml) from a Windows or Mac partition mounted in Linux, you can load it and use your iTunes tracks and playlists.
