You are correct in your appreciation. Mixxx is best used with a DJ console, however for me it is also easily used as a player that automatically picks a song from some selected crates in Auto DJ mode. So I'm in the mood for Salsa, I put that crate as the AutoDJ source. Later I can change it to progressive rock, or 90's disco, and it will randomly pick songs from the selected crate or crates. I can also do DJ things, like looping some sections or mashup some songs.
