Hello

I'd like to work on Mixxx for this years GSoC

I'm interested in the Library Preview Player and Harmonic Mixing. I
have looked at these a bit already and would like your opinion to it.

-Libary Preview Player 
  For this I have found a way to include it in the bugtracker (#366091)
  and attached a sketch for a skin design of it. I think it's nice
  think to start with and get familiar with the codebase

- Fixing #892981
  I have never written any program for something other then a unix
  system and want to know how to write OS specific code for a project
  like Mixxx. I have found a suitable API[1] over Stackoverflow but I'm
  not sure if this is the right way to go.

-Harmonic Mixing 
  As I see it this will take me much longer. I think I will use
  Chordata for this since it's already supported for Windows/Mac/Linux.
  Right now Chordata itself gives the user a the key for each specific
  time. As a first try to determine the general key of a song I would
  take the median of the values given from Chordata. I'm not sure on
  how to expose this to users yet, I will definitely add another field
  in the ID-Tag for a manually identified key.

As a first guess I would say that the first two will take me ~1.5
month to complete and the last one will consume the rest of the time.

Some Information about myself.
I'm enrolled as a master student for physics in Göttingen and currently
studying in Vienna with an internship called ERASMUS. For my studies I
have written and worked with some scientific programs but for GSoC I'd
like to work on something with different needs like mixxx. For my
programming experiment I'm familiar with C/C++ and Python and have
never worked with any GUI framework. I should also mention that my term
goes until the end of June so I can only work part-time (20-30h +) for
the first month.

best
Max
