Certainly seems to be a discrepancy between LastFM website similar artists and 
my slimserver similar artists.
I looked at "James Blunt", and the similar artists in slimserver only reported 
"Porcupine Tree".
When I looked on LastFM website, it lists Coldplay, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, 
Jack Johnson, amongst others, that I have in my local library.  Porcupine Tree 
was not listed on the web site.

After installing Custom Scan, I did a look for new and changed files.  When I 
was having trouble getting the new menus in custom browse, I did a full rescan.

Looks like it.

I have run slimserver.pl manually, and turned custom browse debug on.  I tried 
to create a new menu, selecting "Album Genres" template and pressing Next, and 
then Save.
