I think I figured out how to get a #MIXXX playlist created on my desktop to work on my Surface:
1.) create the playlist with the library on a external drive
2.) export the playlist with relative paths to that drive
3.) export the playlist with relative paths to that drive AGAIN and replace the existing file
4.) open the playlist with a text editor and replace the desktop username with the surface username (only for special character absolute file paths)
Improvement suggestions appreciated...
listening to #bassdrive makes me want to get the little dj mixer i have out and fire up #mixxx
my music collection is wildly disorganized, though. this would be an exercise in frustration.

(Having the ability to write text directly on the canvas is great, I've been waiting for this a long time, I found it quite annoying with my auto-tiling setup that a separate text window popped next to the main window, and I couldn't see the full canvas.)

(I recently downloaded Calibre to read an ebook for a university assignment, I really like its customizability, that I can set text width, number of columns, panels to show, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bundled with a full-blown ebook manager and ebook editor, while all I need is just a simple ebook reader, idk why it has to pull all that extra stuff if I download the reader (at least on Debian))
