Here are step-by-step setup instructions to set up Mixxx:
Step 1) Download and install a copy of Mixxx from https://www.mixxx.org/
Step 2) email zach@metaldevastationradio.com for encoder details
Step 3) copy the encoder details into the live broadcasting area of your mixxx software
Step 4) Open Mixxx. Then, i n Mixxx, locate the “ Preferences " tab, under the Options menu.
Step 5) Locate the “ Live Broadcasting ” option in the Mixxx Preferences window.
Step 6) After all the settings are done you will need to download an MP3 encoder for Mixxx. You will need to go to this website: http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-libraries.php as Mixxx does not own rights to redistribute MP3-Lame.
Step 7) Next, from the RAREWARES page, you will need to add the correct files from the version of Mixxx you had downloaded (either 32 or 64 bit).
Step 8) When you have downloaded the .zip file, open the file and move the files into your Mixxx folder:
Step 9) Close and re-open Mixxx. You will now be able to broadcast live by clicking " Enable Live Broadcasting " option under the Mixxx " Options" menu.
When you enable the live broadcasting, you will immediately start to broadcast live. You will override any scheduled Events and AutoDJ currently playing on MDR. MDR will be be used as a fallback, in the event your Mixxx application crashes or goes offline.
Please remember that even when you are broadcasting live, your files must transmit the correct metadata for copyrighted content (Artist - Title).
