https://mixxx.org for a FOSS (read: somewhat enshittification proof) alternative.



I think Mixxx is for live mixing only. Still a good piece of software though!


Not sure about that.

There is a feature request for supporting streaming services and the hurdle is legal more than anything. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/938180


That’s a bit orthogonal, though – you can use streaming services when playing live, too.


Yes, sorry, that 2nd part of the comment belonged in another thread here.


It’s not for live mixing only.


Can you point out the nonlinear/non-live features? https://mixxx.org/features/ doesn't do a good job of that.


It is? It has no timeline or automation. Mixx is Tractor alternative. DJ Studio is more like simplified DAW aimed at making mixes/prep for DJing.


I love mixxx, but I bet this apple music thing will never support open source dj software. They are too afraid of folks pirating the music.


I guess someone using mixxx is not streaming the music (like me) so yes these are different target 'markets'.
