Hi Rishant -- thanks for sending us your idea. I don't think streaming an
input source makes sense as a feature of Mixxx though.
Our main use case is live DJ performance and there aren't many use cases
where a DJ is going to want to pipe a stream of audio through into Mixxx
wholesale from some other streaming server. Adding streaming library
support (e.g. loading music Spotify-style from external catalogs) would be
very useful but it would definitely not take the form you have described --
we would want some kind of way to search through the cloud library in
Mixxx's library interface. Plus, in Mixxx 1.12.0 we already have a
passthrough/aux input so if the DJ really does want to pipe some kind of
aux input into the mix they can.
If you have other ideas, please do post them here on the mailing list for
developers to comment on. Have you considered the cover art project?
Thanks and best regards,
RJ
