MusicIP Mixer is an audio player that utilises MusicIP's MusicDNS acoustic fingerprinting and analysis technology to enable users to create sophisticated playlists/mixes from their personal digital music library, which is stored in an application database. The user selects a track from their collection (the seed song) and generates a Mix based on this track, according to specified criteria.

MusicIP Mixer is also a comprehensive music library management tool, with numerous features for cataloguing, filtering, tagging and playing music files.

Upon initial installation of the software, the user's music collection is scanned, then analysed by the MusicIP algorithm. This is a time-consuming and CPU-intensive process, but is a one-time requirement. The process is also accelerated by connecting to the MusicIP servers to lookup tracks that have already been analysed by other users. If a match is found, the software will only have to make a much quicker verification pass (fingerprint checking) on the track in question.
