OK, I want to love MusicIP too.. but a 23-page thread (and several other wiki,/spicefly/etc sets of pages) is pretty intimidating, and in any case, after going through it all, I am still confused.
Any answers appreciated! Questions: - How do I set up MIP headless on my ubuntu machine? I am not a linux jock, so I would need pretty thorough instructions, including how to edit whatever it is so that MIP starts before Squeezecenter. Several of you are clearly running this way... willing to help? If the advice works easily, I'll clean it up & repost (with proper credit) in a clear way for other novice ubuntu folks. Ubuntu seems to do a lot of things differently than "regular" unix; maybe there's just some command to run? - As far as I can tell, I will be best scanning my (FLAC) library on my XP machine, writing the data to the tags, and then moving the whole library to the Ubuntu machine. That way I get to use the full MIP GUI for the analysis... does this sound right? Since the library is on an external HD, will that make the scan take a lot longer? - Can I get MIP to fix all the tags while doing this? Sure sounds nice... or do I need to analyze, then fix tags? (nb: tags are decent already... if so, will having MIP "fix" them create more trouble than it's worth? - Once I've analyzed the library & moved it onto the Ubuntu machine (with MIP running headless), then what? Just scan it into Squeezecenter & go? Or are there additional steps to get everything running together? I can sort out details of setting moods/whatever after I have these basics taken care of. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help- XP I am comfortable with, but linux/ubuntu (8.04 Hardy) is new to me so any command line stuff needs to be clearly explained... assume I only know how to open the terminal & move around in directories.
