We might want to make them merge the mappings, though I'm not sure if we should before 1.7.0.

So I'd say go ahead and submit them and we can rename the current one to Numark TotalControl : Traktor Placard or something. > Next issue, I started mixxx, and loaded the Collusion (1280) skin.

Can you file a bug for this? There is code to grab the ID3 tag from the file. See line 526 of soundsourcemp3.cpp. It may have regressed, but I think it was supposed to work at some point. I'd be interested to see if that section of code is loading the BPM from your files. If it is, then somewhere else we are clobbering the Track's BPM with 0. > So that's what I noticed on my first run through the new beta. Hope you > don't mind the big list.
