Instead of just dragging and dropping the songs into Mixo, how about choosing a folder as a watch folder so when you add new songs, it will upload automatically

Great idea Vinny, I've added it to our roadmap and subscribed you for updates:

MIXO v1.50 is now live with a new Watch Folder feature... along with a heap of epic new features!

https://www.mixo.dj/versions

I have noticed since setting up watch folder everytime I update or re login to mixo it tries to re-add everything in the watch folder all over again and considering I have a very large library this is problematic as takes while to go through select it all to delete the new imports

Hi there,



MIXO will automatically import anything in your watch folder that does not exist in your library.



By default it watches the Downloads folder. If you no longer wish for MIXO to automatically import certain tracks you should remove them from your downloads folder (or watch folder location).



If you've changed the watch folder location, you should consider a different strategy for organising your local files to prevent auto-importing tracks you no longer want, or just change the watch folder location.



I hope this helps!

Apologies maybe I didn’t explain the issue correctly so I have watch folder as my music library folder it hasn’t changed at all I updated mixo to latest version and it logged me out I logged back in and it imported all 13,000 songs again so I had double I don’t know if once it had analysed it would have sorted self out but as can imagine analysing 13,000 songs is not quick my understanding was as these songs aren’t new or been changed it shouldn’t have tried to re add them

Hmm I see. That's strange since there is a delay of several seconds before the watch folder begins watching, giving your track list plenty of time to load.

How many tracks do you have in All Tracks (before the duplicates).

It's possible this is a freak occurrence but I will investigate regardless.

You can go ahead and cancel the analysis and if you're connected, cancel the upload too (both options are on the Import/Progress page). Then reload and check if it returns to normal.

If not, you can use the duplicate finder to sort everything out.

Just an update on this - we've identified and fixed an issue that led to 0 tracks in All Tracks on login. This issue would have caused the problem you've described.

The fix will be in the next release!

In the meantime, if this happens the solution is to reload after login (Cmd/Ctrl + R). Ideally immediately after the loading screen hides to prevent the watch folder from importing tracks, which is delayed by ~7s.

I'm pleased to announce that MIXO v1.60 is now live with a heap of new features, fixes and improvements!

We've also migrated all our users to a new super fast cloud database, so you'll need to update to MIXO v1.60 and reset your password to continue:

Why is my watch folder always showing 'inactive'?

I have selected it so many times it opens when I click on downloads etc. But on the left side it just shows inactive? Have shutdown, restarted multiple times.

Now I got it but it defaults to download and there is no way to stop it from beginning the search. I cannot change the folder to my music folder as the program stops responding. So impossible..I am stuck in a loop..

Ok thanks I’ll take a look now.



Just to confirm, when you change the path in Advanced settings it freezes?

Ok so it seems to be working fine but I guess the issue is that it start importing (potentially a huge number of tracks) before you're able to set a new folder.

I think we need to allow changing of the folder before turning it on. That should solve it.

Yes. If there is some way to do that it would be good. The sequence should be let us SET the folder, then turn the option to check on. The problem right now is that you turn the option to check on it automatically has grabbed your default download folder and instantly starts. But you do not SEE the option to change folder location until you turn the option on to check. :)

Here's a beta that should allow you to set the folder before you turn it on
