*Mixxx* is a free open source *DJ app* that allows you to mix your MP3
collection together, for parties, clubs or just for fun. Installation is
simple, all you have to do is specify your music library (you can add other
later if you want). Mixxx will then import your collection, which may take a
few minutes if you have lots of files, but it will only do this once. Mixxx's
interface might be a bit intimidating for beginners, but if you're eager to
learn, it's not difficult to get the hang of it. There are two channels, and
you load tracks into them with a right click. Each channel has its own
controls, from play and pause to tone control. In the center are the global
controls, with volume, balance and most importantly the cross-fader which
allows you to mix between the two channels. The music waveforms are arranged
one on top of the other, like *Virtual DJ*, which can make beat matching
easier. Mixxx is controlled either with the mouse or hot keys, which are
specified in the included manual. In terms of help for beginners, each
channel has a "sync" button, which will attempt to synchronize the BPM (beats
per minute) of one track with another. The user still has to start the track
in time with the other one, so Mixxx won't do the mixing for you! *Mixxx is a
solid DJing application, with good BPM estimation, and controls that are easy
to pick up for anyone who's seen a mixer before, and intuitive enough for a
beginner to learn.*Download *Mixxx 1.10.0* in Softonic
