If you only want the song mix functionality, I suggest that you:
1. Uncheck all menu checkboxes in the library configurations, so you
libraries menus aren't shown. No reason to have them if you aren't
going to browse per library as they will affect the SBS startup
performance.
2. Install SQL Playlist and Dynamic Playlist plugins and create two new
playlists which is limited to the respective library.
This will give you two smart playlists, similar to the standard "Random
Mix" functionality, that is limited to the respective libraries. The
advantage of this solution is that it will dynamically add/remove
tracks from the current playlist to avoid many tracks in the current
playlist. SBS is generally bad at handling large playlists and
solutions such as "Random Mix" and "Dynamic Playlist" corrects this by
making sure to add/remove tracks to the playlist automatically when
needed.
