The open source community lost an important member recently. Robert Kaye, aka mayhem, was the founder, inspirator and motivator of MusicBrainz. We published a short memorial to him on our blog.

Our manual website is back up, sorry for the downtime! We are investigating what automation might help us catch issues like this more quickly.
At least one of our devs also has a self-hosted Zulip instance and has found it easy to deploy. It's much less pretty and fun than other chat software, but it gets the job done. Also the Zulip developer community has been friendly and open to adding features that make it more fun for casual use
We know, sorry! There is some problem with the web host that we are trying to solve
Calling all radio DJs! Though Mixxx was not originally designed for radio, there are a lot of you out there and we want to make Mixxx better. We have a project to improve Fader Start support, but we need your help! Please help us better understand your needs:

Do you know C/C++? Mixxx is improving our responsiveness under digital vinyl control and we need someone to help develop an approach that balances responsiveness, accuracy, and resilience to bad input data. This is a real-world opportunity to stretch signal processing muscles.

We're looking for developers, designers, and testers to help us on this journey!

We're also open to doing an interview if you think that would make for a good article! We'd love to talk more in depth about the project, its philosophy and our team, and the unexpected popularity we have found in the streaming radio community.
@philmorse.bsky.social Thank you for your lovely review of Mixxx! We are already discussing ways to help make the app more discoverable, especially for effects. We are also in the middle of revamping our vinyl control support to fix some longstanding bugs and sticker drift.

Accessibility is an area Mixxx has struggled with for a long time, and as an all-volunteer project we have struggled to recruit devs to address it. If you have a passion for accessibility and are interested in a chance to have a big impact, hit us up.
There is ongoing work to create an open library that can write rekordbox USB sticks. It's still early days but if it's successful it would give DJs an alternative.
Mixxx Stable 2.5.1 Released!
This release contains a lot of improvements, fixes, new and improved controller-mappings. Remember, you don't have to be a programmer to contribute to Mixxx. Translating, testing and checking for possible regression is just as important.
