Mixxx is designed for DJ'ing for both professional and semi-professional users. Mixxx was started in early 2001 as one of the first digital DJ systems. Today Mixxx includes many features common to digital DJ solutions, but also some very unique features: It is free, and runs on all major desktop operating systems. Futhermore Mixxx has a number of key features to help the DJ in the live mix: Beat estimation, parallel visual displays, and support for many DJ input controllers.

    New in v1.9.0
    Mixxx 1.9.0 adds several major new features including Shoutcast support, direct deck outputs for external mixers, and ReplayGain normalization. We've also added many enhancements to the library, a revamped default skin, and more!

  • Shoutcast / Icecast support
       o Mixxx can now broadcast over the internet (heavily requested feature)

  • External Mixer Support
       o The new Sound Hardware preferences pane allows you to route each playback deck separately, which allows you to use Mixxx with an external mixer.

  • ReplayGain normalization
       o A user from our forum worked closely with our developers to fully implement volume normalization, including performing the ReplayGain analysis for tracks which are not tagged.

  • Waveform Gain
       o The scrolling waveforms now scale according to the channel gain for better visual feedback.

  • Key lock buttons
       o Formerly known as "pitch-independent time stretch", there are now easily accessible key-lock buttons for each for deck.

  • Revamped default skin
       o Since the original source material for the Outline Netbook skin was lost eons ago, our artist completely redid it from scratch and tweaked it for better visibility. The new skin has also added EQ kill switches.

  • HSS1394 support (Windows, OS X)
       o Mixxx now supports firewire HSS1394 MIDI devices such as the Stanton SCS.1 series.

  • Improved FLAC support
       o We're now using libFLAC directly for smoother FLAC decoding.

  • Revamped metadata parsing
       o Integration of TagLib allows Mixxx to parse more metadata from songs, and do it more consistently.

  • Metadata writing
       o Mixxx can now write changes in song metadata back to disk. This feature is off by default, and can be enabled in the Library preferences pane.

  • Millisecond time display
       o The time counters in Mixxx now have an extra millisecond display.

  • Library improvements:
       o Played column - The library now indicates whether a song has been played in the current session already, and also counts the total number of times the song has been played.
       o Ratings column - 5 stars, no stars, or anywhere in between.
       o Better search - Search now searches in more columns, and by-term instead of by-phrase.
       o Revamped iTunes integration - A rewrite yielded a significant speedup of iTunes parsing.
       o Faster library scanning - The library scanner should perform much better on large libraries.
       o Inline Editing - Double click any item in the track table to edit its contents.
       o Recording to MP3/Ogg - Now your recordings can be saved in either MP3 or Ogg/Vorbis format.

    Mixxx 1.7.2

    This looks and sounds good but be careful, 'it likes to take over your computer music functions' and it messed up some of my resident software.

    Definitely the best free

    Definitely the best free open source alternative for commercial DJ softwares like VDJ and Traktor. Some of its advanced features includes a vinyl and MIDI controller support but you can also mix with your mouse and/or PC keyboard.
