Hi Mel,
thank you for your input.
your suggestions 1 and 2 really fits well somehow to our "Track analysis
view and editor" idea.

I think the pseudo-cue marker is not tracked as bug.
Would you mind to file one?
3)
This feature already works
you can start mixxx with
--settingsPath PATH
to use settings located on an external drive.
But be aware that there is a risk of corrupting you library if you remove
the drive during a Mixxx run.
Of cause this scenario could be improved. Any Ideas?
It is best to write a Launchpad bug for each of your ideas.
Thank you,
Daniel
