I was just watching my friend use Traktor with 4 decks and I noticed a nice feature I would like to have in Mixxx. When the library view is maximized, condensed views of the decks are shown on top. This would solve the minor issue I have when searching for tracks that I need to toggle away from the big library to see the BPM and key of the current track.
