I'm totally lost!
About three years ago I got my first SB and I was totally amazed by its
performance. One year later I bought MusciMagicMixer and from that
moment I became a true fan of my SB. But that were the goods days...
It seems like every time I've upgraded the software, SlimServer
performed worse! First dropouts were introduced. When that was fixed,
SB's display began responding very slowly. Upgrading from that version
caused that the handling of compilation-albums went bust. And after
that MMM (or MusicIP) functions are simply unusable. Through all these
versions, speed of both the webinterface and SB-interface got worse and
worse.
What's the hardware and library size? Slimserver's performance has generally improved for most people, but in transitioning to a real database backend the footprint did go up. If you're using a VIA EPIA to serve 20,000 FLAC tracks over a marginal wireless network, performance is going to be bad.
My question is: Does anybody know of/have a version of SS that:
1. Does not screw up artist/album lists
- 6.3.1 works for me, though I do have to be careful about tagging. I also have to clear the database and rescan in order to correct any tagging errors, a regular rescan produces weird results.
2. Has decent MusicMagic support
I don't use Music Magic, can't comment.
3. Is reasonably responsive
- I was seeing performance problems with 5.x, but honestly, all versions have always been responsive for me since 6.0 (even has my library size has doubled).
4. Does not suffer from drop-outs and unexpected crashes
- Again, haven't seen these since 5.x. I use wired rather than wireless, so the only dropouts I ever saw were performance related. I've had some crashes over the years, but they've generally been plugin-induced. Once I stripped down to the plugins I actually use, I can't remember the last unexpected server crash.
Anybody who could help me with this I would be extremely thankfull!

I don't know anything about Music Magic, but I'm inclined to suspect it's the culprit. Try disabling support temporarily and see if things improve.
