I have to disagree, MIP works fine and is a fantastic program for
re-energising your music collection.  I've been running it for years
with barely an issue.  
Further more if I was the developer and you werent going to pay for it
then I wouldnt spend time helping you either!  :S

Any how, in general... If you have installed MusicIP and running the
API (if via the GUI check API is ticked and Started) you can bring up a
web browser and try a few tests;

http://localhost:10002/server
You should see information on no. of songs in your collection etc. 
(Click the reload cache button if its there)

http://localhost:10002/api/mix?song=&size=12&sizeType=tracks&content=text
This will return a generic playlist for your collection

If that doesnt work, then check the port number is correct ie. 10002,
check that you dont have some firewall blocking this etc.

If that does work, then its the SS side that isnt set up correctly, so
make sure you have it selected to USE MUSICMAGIC on the Server Settings
page.
Then on the Server Settings/MusicMagic page make sure its using the
correct port.

Full rescan, Job done.. now register it! :)

PS Its easy to change the registry so that MusicIP and SS start up in
the correct order and then everything just works fine after every
restart, solid as a rock!
