Correct, a session could be anything from a person sitting in their basement DJing for kicks, to someone broadcasting live on internet radio, to someone rocking the dancefloor in a club. > Once the "Start > New Session" button is clicked, Mixxx will record the songs that are played > until Mixxx is closed.

It really depends on what users want, and so asking the DJs on our forums might be a way to get ideas that will help flesh out the details of your project proposal. Some other things to think about are what sort of information you're going to store in the play history, and how you're going to determine when a song is played. I hope these point you in the right direction, and you can either let us know privately or we can continue on the list if you'd like to discuss things further.
