    Yeah, so Mixx can be tempermental at some times, especially on Windows versions of the applcation. I run it on Linux Mint and on occasion have noticed that it has stopped playing the playlist, which can be annoying. I am sure since you have over 600GB of music, that may be why it appears to hang up as it has to build that library. I know I am repsonding a little late to this post, but I hoped it eventually worked for you and were able to play around to test. Mixx is not a bad broadcast/live/replay software, but it is also not the best. At leats for me it doesn't error out and stop playing altogether like WinAmp did for me, with both version (Windows/Linux). I do agree with you MRO that I as well do not trust the new developer of the WinAmp software, mostly due to the fact that the ShoutCast plugin versions has had some issues with the WinAmp software itself.

    Take care and I hope you are having a good week!

    well now i am running WACUP, which is made by an old developer of the new winamp. it works pretty good for shoutcasting and it's feature rich.
    i also dont have disconnecting probs with it. i had issues with disconnects popup recently.
