DUAL OUTPUT (preview player for headset)
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2016 12:29 am
Hi,
I have been furiously searching for a software that plays music the way I need it to play. I play old dance music, not new (think close to ballroom).
I have been using Mediamonkey for many years now but I have to use another program (musicbee) at the same time to handle my preview. Problem is, the playlists do not speak to each other nor do they update in any kind of live manner. I end up exporting my playlist many times through out the night to get to the same songs in the same sequence.
What I need/want:
-Computer file manager to browse to different folders and to open various pre-made playlists from which to drag songs to the active playlist (this functions well in MM)
-The main deck that is fed from the Now Playing playlist like the regular version plays music
-A second player to preview songs or a preview feature (Mixxx dj software has a preview mode and there is no need to drag files, just click on preview button, fantastic feature! ; you assign main output to be the external soundcard, for example, and the preview to be the internal soundcard, which is connected to the headset)
Basically I am looking for Mediamonkey but with a Preview function - a deck or player to pipe music through the channel I have chosen and the preview into the headset.
Question is: Has someone modified MM to have a dual play feature or a preview feature?
Mixxx has all except the 'Now Playing-playlist feature'. I have circled the preview player below.. you would just click on the preview symbol next to any song and that song starts playing in the preview player (headset) whilst the main player keeps playing the Now Playing-list through the other output.
