6.2. Library - View and edit your whole collection

Library - Icon Library The Library displays a sortable list of all the tracks in your music library.

Personalizando a visualização

Move columns by clicking a column header and dragging it to another position. Right-click on a column header to show or hide individual columns. Adjust the column width to fit the contents of the rows by double-clicking on the separator between two column headers.

Ordenando Faixas

As faixas são ordenadas automaticamente pela coluna ativa. Clique em um topo de coluna ativo para inverter a ordenagem. Clique em outro topo de coluna para mudar a coluna ativa.

  • Multi-Column sorting

    Novo na versão 2.0.

    You can sort multiple columns by clicking up to three column headers you wish to sort your tracks by. This makes searching for tracks in a large list more efficient. Clicking twice on a column header will reverse the sort order.

    Example:

    1. Click on the BPM column header -> list is sorted by BPM

    2. Click on the Year column header -> list is sorted by year. If year is equal, it is still sorted by the last criteria, e.g. BPM.

    3. Click on the Genre column header -> list is sorted by genre. If genre is equal, it is still sorted by year. If genre and year is equal, then it is sorted by BPM.

Avaliando faixas

Esteje certo de que a coluna Avaliação não está escondida. Avalie faixas ao clicar nas estrelas do campo de avaliação.

Edição de Faixas na Linha

Mixxx reads metadata from the tracks to fill the columns of the library. Double-click on a field, edit the data, and hit Enter when you are done. Go to the chapter edit metadata for detailed information.

Carregando faixas

To load a track into a deck, you can either drag it to the waveform display or use the context menu. Go to the chapter Carregando Faixas for detailed information.

Importando faixas

Mixxx imports your music library automatically when it is run for the first time. Go to the chapter Importing your audio files for detailed information.

Pré-escutando faixas

To pre-listen to tracks in your headphones without loading them to a regular deck, click the Library - Preview Play icon in the Preview column. Go to the chapter Pré-escutando Faixas for detailed information.

Arte da Capa/Álbum

Mixxx can display cover art it finds for a track in the library. It will search for available cover art in the following places in order and will use the first one it finds:

  1. The first image saved in the track’s ID3v2/Vorbis tags

  2. An image file in the track folder (if there is only one image file there.)

  3. %arquivo-base-da-faixa%.jpg no diretório da faixa para %arquivo-base-da-faixa%.mp3

  4. %álbum%.jpg

  5. cover.jpg

  6. front.jpg

  7. album.jpg

  8. folder.jpg

O MIxxx suporta os seguintes tipos de imagem: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bpm

Reexaminar a Biblioteca

If you want to manually refresh your library without exiting (for example because you added or moved files) you can do this with Library ‣ Rescan Library in the menu at the top of the application window. You can prompt an automatic rescan when Mixxx is started under Preferences ‣ Library ‣ Rescan on startup.

6.2.1. Menu de contexto da lista de faixas

Novo na versão 2.0: Reload Track Metadata from MusicBrainz, Change BPM context menu options and Cover Art

Alterado na versão 2.0: All BPM related options are in the BPM Options sub-menu.

Clicando com o lado direito nas faixas selecionadas na lista de faixas revela o menu de contexto:

  • Add to Auto DJ: Adds the content of the selection to either the bottom or top of the Auto DJ playlist for automatic mixing.

  • Load to Deck/Sampler: Loads a selected file to a Deck, Sampler or Previewdeck. Alternatively simply drag it to the Mostradores de Onda. Note that you can’t load multiple files at once.

  • Add to playlist/crate: Add selected tracks to playlists or crates you have previously created. Alternatively, drag the selection to a playlist or crate in the sidebar.

  • BPM Options sub-menu:

    • Change BPM: Allows to change the BPM to 50%, 66%, 75% or 200% of the BPM set by Mixxx when analyzing the tracks. If many of the detected BPM values are incorrect, you might want to adjust the BPM Range in the Analyzer Settings and re-run the analysis.

    • Travar/Destravar o BPM: Trava/Destrava o BPM das faixas selecionadas para que você não possa editar eles nas propriedades da faixa. O ícone Library - BPM Unlocked perto do BPM da faixa na coluna da biblioteca é alternável. Clicar ele vai definir o seu estado para “travado”, e o ícone muda para Library - BPM Locked.

    • Clear BPM and Beatgrid: Removes the BPM and beatgrid data from the selected tracks in the Mixxx library. After doing this, we recommend analyzing the tracks again.

  • Reload Track Metadata from File: If the track’s metadata changes, (e.g. if you used iTunes to edit it,) this option lets you save the new values for the selected tracks to the Mixxx library. See edit metadata.

  • Reload Track Metadata from MusicBrainz: Look up metadata online by searching the MusicBrainz database and apply the search results to your tracks. See edit metadata.

  • Cover Art Option sub-menu:

    • Choose New Cover: Select an image from the file browser as the cover.

    • Unset Cover: Delete any cover information saved for this track.

    • Reload from track/folder: Reload the cover from the tracks’ ID3v2 tags or a picture in the track folder if the tags do not supply any.

  • Hide from Library: Temporarily hides selected tracks from the track list. Hidden tracks are listed in the Hidden Tracks menu item which is explained below.

  • Reset Play Count: Marks selected tracks as not played in the current session and sets their play counter to zero. The icon in the Played column changes.

  • Open in File Browser: Brings up the selected files in your file manager.

  • Properties: Similar to inline editing explained above, the properties dialog allows you to view and edit metadata such as title, artist, album, and view the full file name and path. Note that you can not edit multiple files at once.

Nota

A maioria dos itens do menu de contexto também estão disponíveis nas listas de arquivo das outras visualizações como no Auto DJ, nas Listas de Reproduções, e nas Caixas.

6.2.2. Músicas Faltando

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 not found on your drive will appear here. Mixxx does not automatically delete records of missing tracks so that extra metadata Mixxx might have (such as hot cues and beat grids) will not be lost in case 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.

6.2.3. Músicas Escondidas

The Hidden 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 set to be hidden from the library will appear here. Use the Hide from Library context menu item in the library view to temporarily hide selected tracks.

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.

  • Unhide Button: Removes the selected tracks from the Hidden Tracks view and makes them available in the regular track lists again. The tracks will re-appear in every playlist or crate they were in before being hidden.

6.3. Carregando Faixas

Novo na versão 2.0: You can drag tracks from deck to deck.

Faixas podem ser carregadas em um deck de várias maneiras:

  • Right-click the library track table: Right-clicking on a track in the table will present the options Load in Deck 1 and Load in Deck 2, among others. Making either selection will load a track into a deck.

  • By Usando um Teclado to load the selected track in the library track table.

  • Drag-and-drop from library track table: Dragging-and-dropping a track from the track table onto a waveform display will load the track into that deck.

  • Drag-and-drop from deck to deck: Once you’ve loaded a track to deck, sampler, or preview deck, click on the track title and drag it to another deck or sampler.

  • Drag-and-drop from external file browser: Dragging-and-dropping a track from an external file browser directly onto a waveform display in Mixxx will load that track. This function also works with some other applications. For example, on Mac OS X, dragging-and-dropping a track from iTunes onto one of Mixxx’s waveform displays will load it into that deck.

6.5. Pré-escutando Faixas

To pre-listen to a track, activate the Preview column in a library view. Clicking the Library - Preview Play icon in the library’s Preview column loads the selected track into a special Preview Deck that will only output sound in the headphones channel. Click the Library - Preview Pause icon to stop the playback.

Alternativamente, selecione uma faixa da lista de faixas da biblioteca do Mixxx, arraste a faixa para a visualização de ondas do Deck de Pré-escuta e clique no botão Tocar perto das ondas.

To display the Preview deck, press CTRL + 4 (Windows/Linux) or CMD + 4 (Mac).

6.6. Edite os metadados dos arquivos de áudio

O MIxxx lê metadados relevantes das faixas e mostra eles nas colunas da biblioteca. Você é livre para editar a maioria dos metadados, e o Mixxx oferece um número de diferentes formas de fazer isso. Note que algumas informações não podem ser editadas, como a taxa de bits, tamanho, duração, tipo, nome do arquivo e localização.

Nota

O Mixxx não suporta a edição de metadados de várias faixas ao mesmo tempo (edição em massa).

Aviso

Changes to a track’s metadata will be saved to the Mixxx library, but not to the track itself. Mixxx wont touch your audio files to prevent data loss.

6.6.1. Edição Manual

Edição de Faixas na Linha

Double-click on a field in the library. If the field is editable, it will become an editable text box. Enter a value and hit Enter when you are done.

Editor de Propriedades:

Click on a single track in the library and select Properties to open the editor. Add or change values in the editable fields, and save your changes as explained below.

Biblioteca do Mixxx - Editor de Propriedades

Biblioteca do Mixxx - Editor de Propriedades

  • OK: Aceita as mudanças e fecha o editor.

  • Apply: Accept the changes and leave the editor open.

  • Cancelar: Descarta as mudanças e fecha o editor.

  • Anterior/Próximo: Carrega a faixa seguinte ou anterior na visualização atual da biblioteca.

  • Reload Track Metadata from File: Prompts Mixxx to re-read the metadata of the selected track (such as when you have modified it externally with another application.)

  • Reload Track Metadata from MusicBrainz: Look up metadata on-line by searching the MusicBrainz database. See below.

6.6.2. Usando a base dados online do MusicBrainz

Musicbrainz is an open-source music encyclopedia that collects music metadata and makes it available to the public.

Biblioteca do Mixxx - Assistente MusicBrainz

Biblioteca do Mixxx - Assistente MusicBrainz

The MusicBrainz wizard in Mixxx allows searching the MusicBrainz database and applying the results to your tracks.

Clique em uma única faixa da biblioteca e selecione Obter Metadados no MusicBrainz. O Mixxx busca dados da faixa do banco de dados do MusicBrainz e mostra os resultados da busca.

Select the best match from the search results by clicking on it in the list.

  • Aplicar: Aplica os metadados selecionados no MusicBrainz na faixa.

  • Fechar: Fecha o assistente.

  • Previous/Next: Load the previous or next track in the current library view and perform a MusicBrainz lookup on it as well.

Fetching track metadata from MusicBrainz can fail:
  • if Mixxx is unable to find the specified track in the MusicBrainz database,

  • if Mixxx cannot reach the MusicBrainz servers (if they are down,)

  • or if you are not connected to the Internet.

Dica

The MusicBrainz service has been designed for identifying full audio files. If a track is less than 2 minutes long, identifying the file will likely fail. Identifying a layered mix-track or mash-up may produce false positives in the result list.

6.6.3. Using third-party software

If you have modified file metadata in third-party software, select Library ‣ Rescan Library in the menu on top of the application window. This prompts Mixxx to re-read the metadata from all tracks in the library.

Softwares populares para editar metadados dos arquivos de áudio incluem:

6.7. Auto DJ - Automatize a sua mixagem

Library - Icon AutoDJ The Auto DJ queue is a special playlist that contains extra controls for automatic mixing. This is useful when taking a break from live mixing or for using Mixxx as media player.

As funcionalidades do Auto DJ em detalhe:

  • Shuffle button: Randomizes the order of tracks in the Auto DJ playlist.

  • Add Random button: Add random track from Auto DJ track sources.

  • Botão Pular faixa: Pula a próxima faixa da lista de reprodução do Auto DJ.

  • Botão Desvanecer agora: Começa a transição para a próxima faiax.

  • Transition time spin-box: Determines the duration of the transition. A negative value will add a pause between tracks.

  • Botão Ativar Auto DJ: Liga/Desliga o modo Auto DJ.

The Skip track, Add Random and Fade now buttons are only accessible if the Auto DJ mode is enabled. The Search field in the upper left corner is disabled in Auto DJ. By default, Auto DJ removes tracks after playing them but if you want it to play the same tracks over and over again, you can activate the Auto DJ Requeue option in Preferences ‣ Auto DJ ‣ Re-queue tracks after playback.

Auto DJ Crates

Novo na versão 2.0.

It is possible to add random tracks to the bottom of the Auto DJ playlist. The tracks are chosen from a set of crates that you have set as a source for Auto DJ, or from the standard library. Mixxx will normally try to select tracks that haven’t yet been played. You can set a minimum number of tracks that are always available for selection no matter when they were last played in Preferences ‣ Auto DJ ‣ Minimum available tracks in Track Source.

6.8. Playlists - Arranging tracks in a set order

Library - Icon Playlist Playlists are ordered lists of tracks that allow you to plan your DJ sets. Some DJs construct playlists before they perform live; others prefer to build them on-the-fly.

Playlists are not directly loadable into decks as Mixxx is primarily intended for live, attended performance use. However, you can right-click a playlist to queue it to Auto DJ, so in a sense you can “play” it.

  • 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.

Novo na versão 2.0.

  • Analyze Playlist option in the context menu.

  • Import playlists by dragging-and-dropping them into a playlist in the sidebar.

  • Import playlist and Export playlist context menu options remember the last selected playlist directory.

  • The total number of tracks and total duration are displayed next to the playlist’s name.

Right-click on an existing playlist 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 enter 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.

  • Remove: Removes an unlocked playlist. Tracks that were in the playlist remain in the library for later use.

  • Travar: Library - Icon Locked 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.

  • Analyze entire playlist: Forces the analysis of the tracks in the playlist in the Analyze view.

  • Import playlist: Import tracks from external playlists in various file formats to a new Mixxx playlist. For more information, go to iTunes, Traktor, Rhythmbox, Banshee - Using external libraries.

6.9. Crates - Organizing tracks into collections

Library - Icon  Crates Crates are unordered collections of tracks, just like DJ cases holding your favorite records.

  • 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 dragging-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.

Novo na versão 2.0.

  • Analyze Crate and Auto DJ Track Source context menu options.

  • Import crate and Export crate context menu options remember the last selected playlist directory.

  • Displays the total number of tracks and the total duration next to the crate’s name.

  • 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.

  • Remover: Remove uma caixa destravada. As faixas na caixa ainda vão estar disponíveis na biblioteca para uso futuro.

  • Travar: Library - Icon Locked 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.

  • Auto DJ Track Source: Use this crate as a source for random tracks in Auto DJ, see Auto DJ crates .

  • Analyze entire crate: Forces the analysis of the crate in the Analyze view.

  • Import crate: Import tracks from external playlists in various file formats to a new Mixxx crate.

  • Export crate: Export a crate to various file formats, such as m3u, pls, or csv. This allows you to use the data in other applications.

6.9.1. Caixas vs. Listas de Reprodução

Crates are unordered collections of tracks. Unlike playlists, they cannot contain duplicate entries and do not support arranging tracks within them.

Often DJs group tracks by genre, keep lists of favorite tracks, and/or prepare lists of tracks they want to play at a particular party. In these cases they rarely care about the order since they will choose it at the party based on the dance floor and mood. They certainly don’t want duplicates in these lists. Crates serve these purposes. You can think of them like labels in GMail or Web 2.0 tags for your music.

If however you want to plan out a specific set and practice the transitions, you will want an ordered list of tracks. Playlists serve this purpose.

6.10. Browse - Loading remote tracks

Library - Icon Browse Browse mode works like a file manager and allows you to load tracks from anywhere on your computer that are not necessarily already in your Mixxx library.

Novo na versão 2.0: Add music directories directly from the Browse sidebar item.

Click the Browse sidebar item to navigate the computer and find your music. Depending on your operating system, your music will usually be found in the “My Music” or “Music” folder. Drag the files you want to import to the Library - Icon Library Library icon or directly to the Mostradores de Onda.

Nota

Currently you can only drag files (not folders) to the Mixxx library.

Right-click on a folder and choose Add to Library to add the folder as an additional music directory. Mixxx will watch this directory and its subdirectories for new tracks.

6.12. History - Keep track of your sessions

Library - Icon History 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 any tracks during the session, it will be discarded.

Library - Icon History current session Esse ícone indica a sessão atual.

  • Join with previous: Append the selected history session to the end of the previous one.

  • Export playlist: Export a session in various file formats. This allows you to use the data in other applications.

6.13. Analisar - Prepare suas faixas

This section allows you to analyze your tracks in advance of loading them into a deck. Analyzing tracks requires considerable CPU power and may cause skips in the audio while performing, so it helps to have your tracks analyzed before you play. See Analyze your library for details.

6.14. iTunes, Traktor, Rhythmbox, Banshee - Using external libraries

Bibliotecas suportadas:

Novo na versão 2.0: Support for Banshee music player

The external library views allow you to use music libraries you have created in these third-party applications. You can access music as well as playlists. If available, Mixxx automatically loads the external libraries from their default locations on your hard drive.

Nota

Ao tocar uma faixa de uma biblioteca externa, ela vai ser adicionada à sua biblioteca do Mixxx.

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.
