A crucial question in this topic is: What is the main task of Mixxx?
For my feeling Mixxx focuses clearly the live situations.
It will ever be a crutch in managing the music library compared to other music management solutions.
There are several other applications that are suitable for managing music libraries and they are doing a quiet good job.
Unfortunately not focused on the DJ needs.
Why not re-use one of them for Mixxx?
My idea of an ideal solution is an integrated DJing-MediaPlay
For me it is important to manage my music collection in one central place.
I want to listen my music desktop player and organize it for the next gig.
Its out of the Mixxx focus, to be a media player.
I think it's one part of the open source idea to develop as a community for the best solution, instead of competit with different products doing the same.
I am just working on the integration of the Banshee database in Mixxx.
Currently as read only solution.
One idea might be that Mixxx works entirely with the banshee database.
All additional information from Mixxx should be stored with a reference to the song in Banschee.
We might provide a Banschee Plugin to manage these Mixxx information within Bnashee as well.
I've also had a brief look to Clementine player. He is compared to Banshee something in its infancy, but it looks veeeery promising.
.. and it's based on QT. This fact would allow us to merge it with Mixxx.
This would solve many Bugs we have currently on our wishlist, like display cover art, lyrics and last.fm infos.

What do you think? It it worth going such a way?
