Well, I've tried following these instructions - and later posts about
stopping / restarting SlimServer - and the little beggars still won't
work together. No "use MusicMagic" button has ever appeared. (Should it
be on the Server Settings / Basic Settings page?)

I don't see any MM icon anywhere (and MusicIP scanned my library quite
a long time ago, so almost everything is analysed). 

OTOH, I *do* see a little "m" with bars above/below it, on the top
right of at least some Artists and Albums; but when I press and hold
Play, Trackstat appears instead.

Could it be that TrackStat and MusicIP are incompatible? Or do I need
to change something in TrackStat's configuration?

It would be nice to get this working.  Sending mixes made with the
MusicIP GUI to SS is only sporadically successful, can't be done using
the remote (I need either to be sitting at the server, or using VNC
from my laptop), and is very irritating when it doesn't work (because
then if I really want the mix, I have to save it as an m3u file, then
rescan playlists in SS... and wait...)

(Argh! Frustration!! I *definitely* checked "API" in MIP's settings,
and hit Start, which seemed to work.  In both times I stopped SS, when
I returned to MIP's settings, API was still checked, but Start was
greyed-out.  I assumed this meant it was already running.  I also
thought I'd set up MIP to run as a system service a while ago.  But
just now I checked Windoze/Sys Info/Services, and no sign of anything
remotely like MusicIP listed.  Open MIP's Settings dialog - and now
"Start" isn't greyed out! So does that mean it *isn't* running after
all? And was it really running when it *was* greyed-out? Feck it, I'm
fed up stopping and restarting SlimServer for yet more tests. Yet
again, I *just* *want* *to* *listen* *to* *my* *music*, not faff about
for wasted hours with endless permutations of incomprehensible
settings... well, I might have another go sometime - but only once I've
actually listened to some nice soothing music!)
