I posted this a little while back with a longer explaination of what I thought all the various options meant:
MusicIP Player Settings for Each Mix - Yes [see explanation about Filters below] MusicIP Mix Size - Tracks = 50 [I tend to run through the playlist and delete the ones I'm not happy with, so this usually gets it down to 35 songs or so] MusicIP Mix Style - 135 MusicIP Mix Variety - 1 [a small amount of variety in any mix from a specific seed song, if this was 0 you would get the same mix every time from a song] MusicIP Mix Genre - no MusicIP Reject Size - 5 [I don't like Artist repeats - I only wish this worked on albums too so you would only get one song from the same album every five songs. If you have a lot of compilation albums, it can get a bit samey. Now deal with this by a custom recipe.] is where I start at...good if you want style to be pretty similar, and the mix to have a bit of variety (i.e. not the same mix from any given song, it will vary a bit). Filters are where I really tend to manage my mixes (hence why I need each player to have access to the filter options). I have lots. There's: a simple library filter (i.e. mix using songs from my library only, mix from songs from my other half's library only), a Do Not Mix Enabled Songs filter (because I run headless and that doesn't respect the songs that are diabled in the MIP GUI - so this filter will only mix with songs that are enabled in MIP - filters out Christmas or novelty songs and podcasts or audiobooks for example) a Ratings filter (only mix with songs rated * and above) ...and so on. The default mix is always unfiltered though. Reload Interval is 0, I only like MIP and SC to scan when I tell them too (4am every morning thanks to Rescan Music Library plugin). -- Siduhe Who am I on 'LAST.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/siduhe)?
