2015-03-13 15:27:17 Be description I looked for the batch analysis functionality a handful of time before I actually found it after several months of using Mixxx. The placement of the batch scanner on the left pane of the library display is very unintuitive. Everything else in that pane refers to different categories of the library. "Analyze" is the only one that is for applying an operation to the library and seems out of place to me. Is there any use case for hand-picking a selection of tracks to analyze? If not, then I think the current batch analysis UI should be replaced by two simple additions to the Library drop down menu in the main menu bar: "Analyze library" and "Rescan and analyze library". This would analyze all tracks in the library that do not have analysis data already.
