Hi Simon,
Thank you very much for your, suggestions. They are all good points.
This is the right place to discuss general developer issues.
But we collect suggestions like yours at Launchpad "Wishlist bugs".
So please file bug reports, one for each of your ideas.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+filebug
I will comment there afterwards.
Kind regards,
Daniel

> 1) Rather than using the Auto DJ list to Auto DJ I use it as a space to
> store songs which I'm planning to play (kind of as a Now Playing list).
> However, there doesn't appear to be a midi assignable command for adding
> songs to this list - instead one has to drag-and-drop with the mouse or
> right click and use the contextual menu. It would be ideal if I could use
> the launchpad to navigate through my crates and playlists and then simply
> press another button to add that track to the Auto DJ list ("Load selected
> track into Auto DJ List").
>
> 2) When navigating through a long list of songs doing this one song at a
> time can be time consuming. The "scroll to next track" commands would be
> brilliantly complimented by a scroll +10 command which would help you to
> get down the list more quickly by skipping 10 tracks at a time (this number
> could also be defined within the preferences so that the user could change
> it).
>
> 3) I used the fast-forward and rewind buttons to scrub through the track
> and find cue points. This worked ok for the beginning of tracks where I was
> just trying to cut out a bit of silence, but whenever I wanted to be more
> accurate I needed to use the mouse. It would be ideal if there were a
> second set of buttons for finely stepping through the track (a bit like the
> function of a jog-wheel). This would enable the setting of very accurate
> cue points and streamline the process of setting cue points.
>
>
> So to sum up:
>
> * Add a "load selected track to Auto DJ" option to the list of assignable
> midi commands.
> * Add a midi assignable +10/-10 scroll functionality to improve navigation
> of library.
> * Add a second set of fwd/rev controls that offer more accurate setting of
> cue points and which are midi assignable.
>
> I hope that it is possible to change these things easily. I would do it
> myself if I had the first clue as to where to start.
