I believe that including the possibility of a "star filter" within the library can facilitate the work of a DJ. I mean the ability to list songs with a minimum number of stars, up to 5 stars.

at present the library can be managed by showing the DJ the evaluation of each single song (random number of stars, according to the columns ordered in the library), or the songs can be listed based on the increasing or decreasing number of stars (first the songs with 0 stars, then 1 star ... or: first the songs with 5 stars, then 4 ...).
but a DJ who has set his tracks with a rating based on how much the tracks fill the dance floor, may want to view only the 4 star tracks together with the 5 stars (and not separated from each other due to the sorting), ignoring the tracks with 0, 1, 2 and maybe even 3 stars. Without a filter, you should currently create a playlist with all the tracks; a playlist without the 0, 1, 2 star tracks; maybe even a playlist with only 4 and 5 star songs.

I would also like to support the cause of those who in 2008 had already reported the impossibility of displaying in each section of the library the entry: "file name"

This also matches my use case. One star tracks can be hidden during a gig, but should be visible at home.

This is an aspect of a "performance mode" https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1600480
