6.3.2. Músicas Faltando¶
Novo na versão 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.
As funcionalidades em detalhe:
Botão de Selecionar Tudo: Seleciona todas as faixas na visualização atual.
Botão Eliminar: Elimina as faixas selecionadas da biblioteca do Mixxx, mas não remove elas do seu computador. Isso vai deletar todos os metadados que o Mixxx tem da faixa.
6.4. Auto DJ - Automatize a sua mixagem¶
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.

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:
Adicionar ao Auto DJ: Adiciona o conteúdo da lista de reprodução à fila do Auto DJ para mixagem automática.
Rename: To rename a playlist, just put in a new playlist name and click OK.
Duplicar: Algumas vezes você quer construir uma lista de reprodução baseado em uma existente. Selecione a lista de reprodução que você quer duplicar, escolha Duplicar Lista de Reprodução, nomeie a nova lista de reprodução e clique OK.
Travar:
Esse ícone indica uma lista de reprodução travada. Se uma lista de reprodução é travada, você não pode adicionar faixas, renomear ou deletar a lista de reprodução. Escolha Destravar no menu de contexto para destravar a lista de reprodução.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.
Clique com o lado direito em um nome de caixa existente para acessar diferentes funcionalidades no menu de contexto:
Renomear: Para renomear uma caixa, digite o novo nome da caixa e clique OK.
Duplicar: Como nas listas de reprodução, você pode duplicar uma caixa existente. Selecione a caixa que você quer duplicar, escolha Duplicar Caixa, nomeie a nova caixa e clique OK.
Travar:
Esse ícone indica uma caixa travada. Se uma caixa é travada, você não pode adicionar faixas, renomear ou deletar a lista de reprodução. Escolha Destravar no menu de contexto para destravar a caixa.Remover: Remove uma caixa destravada. As faixas na caixa ainda vão estar disponíveis na biblioteca para uso futuro.
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. Caixas vs. Listas de Reprodução¶
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
Mostradores de Onda.
Nota
Currently you can drag only files but not folders to the Mixxx library.
6.7.1. Atalhos - Marque suas pastas favoritas¶
Novo na versão 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. Gravações¶
In this section of the library you can start and stop
recordings well as view previous recordings and the dates they were made.

Para mais informação, vá para Recording your Mix.
6.9. History - Keep track of your last sessions¶
Novo na versão 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.
Esse ícone indica a sessão atual.
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:
Adicionar ao Auto DJ: Adiciona o conteúdo da sessão à fila do Auto DJ para mixagem automática.
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.
Alterado na versão 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.
Clique com o lado direito no ícone do iTunes na árvore da Biblioteca e selecione Escolher Biblioteca para carregar o iTunes Music Library.xml de um lugar diferente. Selecione Usar Biblioteca Padrão para resetar.
Novo na versão 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.
