Streaming with Mixxx

Some time ago, a friend had some difficulties doing a set-up with Mixxx on Windows 7 or 8.1.  This illustrated tutorial is a recap, and is here to help you.

On Ripping

Recently I have had to add must-plays to copy-cat sets I've been doing, and there was no way to find the music except on frostwire or youtube.  I wrote an article on Medium about this.  I really wanted to find a way to get the best sound out of a video, and not go back to ripping a video to mp3, which is something I got away from years ago by way of playing DJ promos.  However, I cut myself off from must-plays by playing promos only.  A better ripping workflow has made it possible to re-access these tracks.
