How to: Update Mixxx

  1. Always create a unique folder for every iteration of amended files. ie D:\Act\DanceOrama D:\Act\DanceOrama2 D:\Act\DanceOrama3 and so on. Always move the newest set of mp3 files to the next numbered folder in the sequence.
  2. NEVER use your existing DJ music folder(s) to create subfolders for ACT and the plays music files.
  3. After you have all the lastest files in one of the numbered folders, open Mixxx and remove the prior folder D:\Act\DanceOrama from the linked folders in Mixxx.
  4. Check the Missing Tracks list and delete Metadata from Mixxx. This cleans those older files from the Database that Mixxx uses.
  5. Add the newer folder D:/Act/DanceOrama2 to the library in Mixxx.
  6. Scan the new folder, in my example D:\Act\DanceOrama2
  7. Analyze the new tracks. This should put the latest Meta of songs or tracks that have virtually the same names out of the database in step 3 and 4. And then add the NEW files in steps 5. and 6. into the Database anew.
