It claims to “Import and export everything, on every platform”. Oh and there’s a Linux version.

Did you try it ?
It also exports currency from your bank account on a monthly basis too doesn’t it?

The desktop version (as far as I can tell no better than Engine except smart playlists) is free. If you would like to export to your phone app then it will cost 7.99 a month plus your own cloud storage.
7 day free trial on the export so i’ll see how it goes.

I used to get this advertised to me constantly on Instagram about two or three years ago.
I checked it out but I (mostly) don’t do subscriptions so it was a pass from me.

Yup they’re bleeding me dry. No more for me.

Has anyone got a good workflow going with Mixo? I am struggling with a bulging library and the occasional corrupt DB… Maybe it’s time to Pony up for something…? 
Would Lexicon work for you or is that a stretch too far? It’s by far the best but the monthly sub can make or break some users.

Lexicon will be my go to as well.
I’ve been playing with Mixo - on paper it seems ideal for what would be my perfect workflow (public transport commute, use the time on my mobile to grid and tag songs). In practice it doesn’t quite work for me at the moment for a few reasons:
- You can’t import/export grids and cues between Engine and Mixo. Might be possible using a third party format (Rekordbox/Serato/etc) but that’s adding complexity and time.
- Star ratings can’t be written to Engine DJ. As I understand it, this is a limitation on the Engine side because stars are kept in the DB rather that being read from tags.
- You can set up clickable tags on the desktop software, but not on mobile (have to type them in manually to comments like a man from the past)
Overall I love the idea, but the lack of functionality doesn’t justify spending the money for me. Give me OneTagger on mobile with Dropbox integration and I’d be a happy man!
since Version 1.5 you can direct export to Engine DJ.
Lexicon is not bad but im really sorry they just have a unrealistic pricing.
Mixo for me all Day in compraison. 7 a month is a fair deal + u can use ur own cloud.
still hoping for a Enginge DJ Android Version then anything else would be obsolet for me.
I just nee a mobile app to prepare Cues and Grids.
Yeah, since they enabled Engine export it’s a lot closer - if they improved the tagging on mobile I’d be 100% sold.
what you dont like right now? and what you would like to have exactly?
Currently you can edit the comments field but it’s just plain text; I’d like there to be custom fields and values to pick from to make the tagging easier and more consistent (so I don’t sit there thinking “have I described this sound as ‘squidgy’ or ‘squelchy’ in the past?”)

Hey, sorry we missed this - a current solution to this is to add custom tags to your tracks and on desktop you can save them to the Comments field during export. On mobile, you can add tags to your tracks in Track Info or using the tag icon at the top of the track list when multiple are selected. All previously added tags are listed, plus you can create more any time you like. This seems to work really well for most users but we’re always happy to look at better ideas!
Yes it needs grids and import/export of it. My playlist is always 4 bars but bpm is 120-150. Triggering the loops works fine without sync, but when I hit both loops not at the same time, the kick and snare not layering to each other. Matching bpm sync make the loop shorter, both decks has the same bars and genre. Grid edit can fix it but I need do that manually per one track on my playlist, I looking for mobile app or windows software that fix and match for me all tracks grids automatically. Any ideas?
@MIXO_DJ When do you plan to integrate grid import/export between mixo and Engine DJ? It would be necessary to have the possibility to edit the variable grids as well.

Beat grids are already imported and exported between MIXO and Engine DJ and flexible grids are in the pipeline!
Good. When I tried it last year it wasn’t possible to do all this. I think I’ll try it again in the next few weeks to see if it can now work for my needs (and especially if it doesn’t mess up the database like other similar products do).
