![]() If it doesn't, is there a deep technical constraint that prevents it-or am I somehow the corner case for wanting it?Ģ. I'm not sure how MixMeister was able to implement this seamless folder-monitoring database/library update-in-the-background method, but it was great.ĭoes MIXXX have this capability, and I am somehow missing it? ![]() In MIXXX it seems that your only option is to Re-scan the entire library. As I'm typing, MIXXX is re-scanning my library (it has been running for 2 hours and 40 minutes). ![]() VirtualDJ, Serato (as far as I know) and MIXXX do not seem to do this. Using the 'monitor' feature of MixMeister, it would update my library automatically, very quickly, and in the background-so there was no waiting. But I did not want to have to add each new folder into the library by hand, or to re-import/scan my entire library, which is now at 800G, 70,000 or so tracks. I would regularly added to those folders. This was KEY because I basically kept all my music in one folder on an external drive (ALL_MUSIC), and that folder had subfolders - 'Albums', 'Compilations', 'DJ MIXES', etc. It allowed you to automatically update the library by monitoring one or more music folders. Mixmeister ALSO had two other key features:ġ. Mixmeister had an automatic search that ran against all the tags. I discovered MIXXX and I love it-but I need some help.īasically, I spent a TON of time tagging my music, as much of it was obscure (African, Caribbean, Latin), so I had to hand tag it and/or CDDB would mis-tag it. But alas, I really need to move on, and MM is not longer being supported. Over the years new and more feature-rich software came out, but I stuck with MM because I loved the database implementation which no one else rivaled (I'll explain below)-it was built on MS ACCESS. And, it had a fantastic database implementation. It was more for creating mixed CDs, but its features for live gigs met my needs. I used software called MixMeister (MM) on a Windows machine. As background, I started DJing on a laptop in 2002 - people were blown away back then.
