• the new skins look good
• the library is much faster
• browse mode
• iTunes playlist support
• the waveforms load much faster
• nice to see better support for dj controllers
• loops
• auto dj (crossfading a feature iTunes should have had long ago)

I highly encourage you to try the Mixxx 1.8.0 final release, not the beta version that you reviewed. We've addressed things like the high CPU usage (an issue mostly isolated to Macbook Pros btw), and we have a much faster library scanner.
We appreciate your feedback, but we'd appreciate it even more if you directed it to our public bug tracker that's accessible off our Support page ( http://www.mixxx.org/support.php ). If we don't know what issues are affecting people, we won't know what to fix, plain and simple. The whole point of a beta release is to get wider testing, but it's useless without feedback from our users.
Anyways, please try the 1.8.0 final release, and be sure to check out the release announcement on our blog. We hope your experience will be much improved.

While i appreciate a free app like this (even open source) on Mac OS i think this app is not ready for prime time. And never will if they do not make the essential things work.
CPU: It uses nearly all available CPU power ( 90%). Something is funky with that waveform display. Interesting is if you lower your latency the waveform is more responsive.
Performance: Audio hick-ups here and then ( i.e. when changing preferences and loading another song).
Library: Could not load my iTunes library ( which is about 40gb ) , the app beachballed. You can not load audio tracks from CD.
The look: It just looks outdated. And fullscreen does not work ( regression to 1.7 ).
Not tested: The midi features.
To be fair i think the app has potential, but all these "new" features are waste of time when you cant even load your library.
They are even participating in the Google summer of code but instead getting more half baked features in the app, better spend the time profiling the app and iron out the massive bugs.
