Terms of use

MixReady is early-access software: accounts are created by invitation, or by approval from the waitlist. These terms are written the same way as the privacy notice: plainly, and describing what is actually the case rather than what is customary to claim. They cover the web app at app.mixready.art, the desktop app for macOS and Windows, the browser extension, and this site with its free tools. Effective 30 September 2026 — what changed. Questions: support@mixready.art.

Who you are dealing with

MixReady is run by its operator, reachable at support@mixready.art. “We” and “us” below mean that operator. The service runs on servers in the European Union; the privacy notice says what is stored there.

Who may use it

• You must be at least 16, or older if the law where you live sets a higher age for agreeing to terms like these.
• One account per person. A seat in the alpha is personal: it cannot be transferred, and an invite code is for the person it was sent to.
• You may not use MixReady if the law that applies to you forbids it, or if we have closed an account of yours for a reason in the list below.

This is an alpha, and that is not a disclaimer

It is a description. MixReady is early software: it will have downtime, features will change or disappear, and something will occasionally be wrong. Concretely, and so you can plan around it:

• No uptime commitment. There is no SLA. The service may be unavailable, including without warning and including at inconvenient times.
• Keep your own copy of anything you depend on. Backups are taken, but you should not treat MixReady as the only place a set you care about exists. Export it, or write the tracklist down.
• Do not rely on it live without a fallback. If a set matters — a paid gig, a broadcast — have it loaded in your own DJ software before you need it, not fetched from here mid-set.
• Features come and go. Some are switched on for some accounts and not others while they are being tested. A feature you had may be turned off, changed or removed without notice.
• It may stop. MixReady is run by its operators. If it winds down you will be told, with enough notice to export your data.
• It is free, for now. Nothing in the alpha costs money. If that changes, you will be told what and when, and nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.

Your account

• Your account is yours alone. Do not share it. You are responsible for what happens under it, and for keeping the sign-in methods attached to it — a password, or your Google, Apple, SoundCloud or DJ ID account — secure. Tell us if you think it has been compromised.
• Your username and picture must not impersonate someone else, infringe a trademark, or be offensive. We can rename or remove one that does, and we can reclaim a username that belongs to a person or brand who asks for it.
• Connected accounts are yours too. When you connect Beatport, SoundCloud, TIDAL, Apple Music or Mixcloud, MixReady acts on those accounts as you, within what you granted, and you are responsible for the accuracy of what you connect.
• You can leave whenever. Export is one download and deletion is one button, both in Settings. Deletion removes your account, your data and your stored analyses; see the privacy notice’s Export and deletion for exactly what goes and how long backups take to age out.

Your music, your sets, your content

• Your music stays yours. Nothing you connect, scan or build transfers any ownership. MixReady reads metadata about your tracks and, on your own machine, your audio files; it claims no rights in them. Audio files are never uploaded to our server.
• Your sets are yours. The sets MixReady builds for you are yours to play, publish, sell tickets to, and take elsewhere.
• What you let us do with your content. To run the service you give us permission to store, process and show back to you your requests, sets, library metadata, captured tracklists, profile and feedback, and to send your requests together with track titles and artist names to the AI provider, as the privacy notice describes. That permission is only as wide as running MixReady for you needs and ends when you delete the content or your account, except for what you chose to share into a pool (play history), which is recomputed without you when you leave. Sharing a set widens it for that set, for as long as the set stays shared — below.
• Feedback is welcome and free to use. Suggestions you send us can be used to improve MixReady without owing you anything, and you are under no obligation to keep the alpha confidential — talk about it, screenshot it, post about it.

Publishing a mix

MixReady can render a set as one continuous mix and upload it from your browser to your SoundCloud or Mixcloud account. A mix like that contains other people’s recordings. Whether you may publish it is your call and your responsibility: the rights you need depend on the tracks, the platform and where you are, and MixReady cannot check them for you. MixReady does not host the audio, takes no part in the upload beyond handing your browser the token you granted, and is not the party a rights holder or platform would take a complaint up with. If a platform takes a mix down, that is between you and the platform.

Sharing a set

Sharing a set puts it on a public page: anyone holding its link can open it, and a Community share is also listed for other DJs in the app. What the page shows, and how to take it back, is in the privacy notice.

• What you let us do. While a set is shared, you let us show it — its name, your description, its tracks, and your card unless you hide it — to anyone with the link, and to other DJs if you chose Community; and let its visitors play it through Apple’s and SoundCloud’s players, copy its track list and save it to their own Apple Music library. That ends when you make the set private or delete it.
• What you may not share. Nothing unlawful, nothing that infringes someone else’s rights, nothing that harasses or impersonates anyone, and nobody else’s personal information. That covers the set’s name, your description and the tags of your own files, because all three are published exactly as they are.
• We take down what breaks that. Anyone can report a shared page. We read every report and remove a page that breaks these terms or the law; a page we remove cannot be put back by sharing it again, and an account that keeps sharing such things can be closed. We do not review pages before they go up, and no number of reports removes one by itself — a person decides.

Writing to your DJ software

MixReady writes into rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, VirtualDJ and djay libraries on your own machine — playlists, crates, folders, cue points — and reads their play history if you turn that on. Some of those writes are deep: a rekordbox write changes its database, and a Serato cue write changes the audio file itself. Four things are true about every one of them:

• The DJ software has to be closed, and MixReady refuses to write while it is open.
• A copy is taken first, every time — of the database, the playlist file, or for a Serato cue write the audio file — and the write is checked after it lands. If the copy cannot be taken, the write does not happen.
• You can put a copy back. Settings → Your software → Library backups lists every one MixReady holds, with the time it was taken, and restores the one you choose. Restoring keeps what it replaces, so it can be undone. The copies stay on your computer.
• That is a real safety net and not a guarantee. Keep your own backups of your library too; a copy MixReady kept is not a substitute for one you keep, and it lives on the same disk as the library it came from.

Reading and writing these libraries relies on formats their makers do not document. A DJ-software update can change them, and when it does the feature that depends on them stops working until it is fixed — and it may not be fixable.

The platforms MixReady connects to

MixReady talks to Beatport, SoundCloud, TIDAL, Apple Music and Mixcloud on your behalf, using your accounts; signs you in through Google, Apple, SoundCloud or DJ ID if you choose to; and reads and writes rekordbox, Serato and djay libraries. Two honest consequences:

• Their terms govern your use of them. MixReady is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any of them. If a platform changes its rules, its API or its pricing, that affects what MixReady can do for you, and MixReady is not the party you would take that up with. Your connection to a platform is yours, and its rules still apply to it.
• Some of these integrations are unofficial and can break without notice. When one breaks, the feature that depends on it stops working until it is fixed — and it may not be fixable.

The parts a model writes

Track order, mixing advice and the written reasons behind a pick are produced with the help of an AI model, provided by OpenAI. Treat all of it as a starting point from someone who has not heard the room. It can be wrong about a key, a transition or a crowd, and you are the one playing the set — check the set before you play it. What you type is sent to the model provider with track titles and artist names, never your identity; the privacy notice says exactly what leaves. Do not use the model through MixReady for anything other than building and understanding sets, and do not try to make it produce unlawful, hateful or harmful content: the provider’s usage rules apply to what goes through MixReady, and an account used that way will be closed.

What you may not do with it

Short, and none of it should be surprising:

• Do not use it to infringe copyright, or to obtain music you have no right to — and do not use it to get around the technical protections a platform or DJ-software maker puts on their content.
• Do not resell, sublicense, rent out or rebrand access to MixReady, and do not share a seat.
• Do not attack the service — no scraping the API at volume, no circumventing the rate limits, no automated account creation, no attempting to reach other people’s data, no uploading anything malicious as a picture or an attachment.
• Do not automate the connected platforms through MixReady in ways their own terms forbid.
• Do not upload, connect or publish anything unlawful, and do not use a username or the feedback channel to harass anyone.
• Do not copy, modify, take apart or reverse-engineer the desktop app or the extension, except to the extent the law where you live gives you that right regardless of what a licence says.

The software you install

The desktop app and the browser extension are licensed to you, not sold: a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use them, on machines you control, for your own DJing. They stay ours, including the MixReady name and logo, which these terms give you no right to use. They contain open-source components under their own licences, listed in the THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES file that ships inside the app together with the Chromium licence text; those licences are honoured and unaffected by anything here. The app checks for updates and tells you when one exists; installing it is your choice, but an old version may stop working against a newer server.

This site and the free tools

The guides, studies and tools on mixready.art are free to read and use without an account. They are provided as they are, the numbers in them are what the data said on the day, and the tools are rate-limited; use them by hand, not from a script. The music players on the landing page and on shared sets are Apple’s and SoundCloud’s own, under their terms.

When an account can be closed

Yours, by you, at any time, from Settings. By us, if an account is being used for anything in the list above, if it is costing the service disproportionately, if it has not been used for a very long time, or if the alpha itself ends. Except where something is actively being abused, you will be told first and given time to export. Closing an account ends the licence to the software and does not affect the sets you already exported, which are yours.

Changes to these terms

They will change — this is an alpha and so is the document. Material changes will be announced by email to the address on your account before they take effect, and the effective date at the top of this page always says which version you are reading; the previous version is available on request. Continuing to use MixReady after a change means accepting it; if you would rather not, delete your account and export your data first.

Liability, in plain words

MixReady is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied — including no warranty that it is fit for a particular gig, accurate, or continuously available. To the fullest extent the law allows, the person running MixReady is not liable for indirect or consequential loss: a gig that went badly, income you did not earn, data you did not keep a copy of, a library your DJ software could not read after a write, a mix a platform took down, or a set that did not mix the way the app said it would. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you have paid to use MixReady in the twelve months before the claim — which during the alpha is nothing.

If your use of MixReady in breach of these terms — above all, publishing a recording you had no right to publish — leads to a claim against us, you will cover the reasonable costs of that claim.

None of this removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be signed away, and nothing here excludes liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else the law does not permit to be excluded.

The formal bit

These terms are governed by the laws of Canada. If a clause turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still stands. Not enforcing a clause once does not waive it. You may not transfer your account or these terms to anyone else; we may transfer them to a company that takes over MixReady, and will tell you if we do. These terms and the privacy notice together are the whole agreement between us about MixReady, and they are written in English.

Anything unclear, or anything here that does not match what the app actually does — tell us and we will fix one or the other: support@mixready.art.

What changed in this version

Against the version effective 31 August 2026, this one:

• Says who you are dealing with, where the service runs (servers in the European Union), who may use MixReady (16+, one account each), and that it is free during the alpha.
• Adds the sign-in providers and the accounts you can connect (Apple Music and Mixcloud join Beatport, SoundCloud and TIDAL), and Serato and djay alongside rekordbox.
• Adds sections on publishing a mix, on writes to your DJ software — including that a copy of what is being changed is taken before every one of them and can be restored from Settings — on the software licence for the desktop app and extension, and on this site’s free tools.
• States what you let us do with your content, and that feedback is free to use and the alpha is not confidential.
• Widens the prohibited-use list (circumventing protections, automated accounts, reverse engineering, harassment) and adds the AI provider’s usage rules.
• Adds a cost-recovery clause for claims caused by your breach, the twelve-month cap, and the transfer and waiver clauses.
• Adds sharing a set: what you let us show while a set is shared, what may not be shared, and that we take down a page that breaks the rules.
