Beatport login

On first launch, mixr opens an embedded WebView pointing at dj.beatport.com. Sign in there — credentials never touch mixr. The exchanged OAuth token is stored at ~/.mixr/auth.json and refreshed automatically. Run mixr --logout to clear it.

Audio quality tops out at 256k HLS (AAC). FLAC streams require a higher-tier OAuth scope only available to Beatport’s own clients.

For Beatport WebView on Linux you’ll need WebKit installed — apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev or the equivalent for your distro.

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/chris-mclennan/mixr
cd mixr
cargo build --release
./target/release/mixr

You’ll need an audio output stack — CoreAudio on macOS, ALSA / PipeWire on Linux, WASAPI on Windows. All come standard.

Wrapper script (recommended)

The repo’s run.sh / run.ps1 auto-detect librubberband and implement the restart-on-exit-75 loop:

./run.sh          # macOS / Linux (bash)
./run.ps1         # Windows (PowerShell)

Verify

mixr --version
