This just dawned one me as someone gave me the thought: "why don't I use Mixxx as my everyday music player?"
I currently use VLC, and VLC sounds like a practical thing. However, because Mixxx is a DJ software, it'd make more sense for me to make "playlists" to DJ, AND casually listen to music like a WinAmp media player, which leads me to this point:
"Why not develop a 'small' form of Mixxx, with a GUI as big as WinAmp or VLC, but only for audio playback?"
This "Mixxx-mini" would be a tiny GUI on your desktop, and will allow you to throw in songs like any other media player library list. This is no different from WinAmp but for the fact that this is directly connected to your DJ software.
This is obviously a very basic idea, but the convenience is:
1. DJs can casually make playlists and crates that directly go to Mixxx for when you want to DJ.
2. DJs can make such playlists while working on non-DJ stuff through their desktop
3. DJs will have a history of songs saved in the history section
4. Allow a "EQ" feature so DJs can tune their sound, and save their tuned settings for when they DJ with the parametric or graphic EQ.
5. Analyze track file data as you listen to them.
6. This will help cross-promote Mixxx into other avenues that attract non-DJ music enthusiasts, beginning DJs, and long-term DJs that want an easy way for any DJ and listen to their track files.
My idea is to have Mixxx fully running in the background, but to have a simple GUI that can be the next WinAmp. Mixxx can be your "music player" for creating playlists, and your "DJ program." It just needs to look more approachable and directly help build Mixxx libraries.
EXAMPLES:
WinAmp
