I'm not sure if OP had this in mind, but I mixo would have a LOT more use if I could drag and drop tracks FROM mixo TO Mixed in Key, or Traktor Pro 3, etc.

MIXO v1.62 is now live with the ability to drag tracks from MIXO to your desktop or DJ software, on Windows and Mac

Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you!

I was finally able to upgrade and test mixo 1.62
The drag & drop FROM mixo TO Traktor or desktop don't seem to work for me. Is there a setting I need to turn on?
When I start dragging, the usual "Moving x tracks" tooltip appears near the mouse, and I can drop them into another playlist. If I try to drag them to another app, though, it won't work.

Oh yes you're right! There seems to be an issue in the production build that was somehow overlooked during testing.

We'll get that fixed ASAP.

I'm now on 1.65 and drag and drop outside Mixo is still not working for me.
I'm on MacOS 14.5 (23F79)

Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong?

At the moment it only works for tracks imported on the same device. If you are attempting to drag a track that was imported on another device it won't work, even if downloaded.

Otherwise the feature is fully functioning in v1.65 on macOS, as far as we can see.

Attached is a demo video.

If you have any more information please let me know.

I've now added support for downloaded tracks on other devices. This will be in v1.66!

I'm pleased to announce MIXO v1.66 is now live with an improvement that allows downloaded tracks to be dragged out of MIXO on other devices.

So I'm almost positive this is an issue with a system settings somewhere. I just don't know what it is.

I tried the Lexicon.dj demo, which also has drag n drop, and it also does not work on my machine. It's rather frustrating not knowing WHY it's not working. :)

I've managed to get it working.
The issue I was having is that I drag, then command + tab to another app, at which point the drag n drop from mixo disengages.
If I put windows side-by-side I can drag n drop (thanks for the video!)


Is there any chance you can make drag n drop persist while using command + tab? This makes it work with full-screen apps.

We don't really have much control over the behaviour unfortunately, but I'm glad you figured it out. 👍

What language is mixo coded in (I'm a software engineer myself)? Perhaps I can do some research. :)

Please bear in mind that you are only copying the track from its original location, which means it might not have customised metadata or cues etc (which are stored in the database like most DJ apps, with the exception of Serato).
