Hi Anast, you Application looks good so far but it requires some more details.
I think you should target your project on top of our new library GUI design which will be merged once Mixxx 2.1 is released. https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/1117 A GUI Mock-up/picture showing the planed feature would be nice. You should also have a close look on: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/726 What is good, what can be improved? There are some different natures of smart crates discussed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/661460 What will you implement exactly. What can the user finally do with it and what not.
