I have been a longtime MusicIP user (from back when it was MMM), and have my entire 61K song library analyzed. I was always a little put off by the tweaking I had to do in order to get it all to place nicely together, and pretty much resigned myself to making playlists in the MIP Gui and sending them to SlimServer.
What joy I felt upon discovering how from SC there was a tighter integration! I downloaded SC 7.2.1, and installed MIP server. That was all pretty good (aside from the nuisance of the re-scans, and how long the MIP imports took...) Then I saw Spicefly's SugarCube (http://spicefly.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=32) and thought - there ya go! Talk about ease - cue up a single song and let the journey begin! I also noted that there might be some issues between SugarCube and MIP and I decided to disable MIP in SC. All good so far. So, after the requisite scanning, I had duplicates in my library bringing the number of songs to 120K. But it still worked. After listening for several hours, I decided that probably doing a scan by clearing the library instead of only looking for new and changed music out to clean up the database. It did. It took forever, but it worked. EXCEPT...now SugarCube is not working again. I've been looking all over the forums and find a lot of bits and pieces, but nothing substantive. I was thinking of upgrading to 7.3 nightly as I noted it may speed up the MIP importing, and then re-enable that plugin, but that is just grasping at straws, really. Any ideas to help out would be appreciated! Some info: SC is installed on an XP virtual machine running on Vista Ultimate. Vista box is home-baked Intel quadcore with 4GB RAM on a Gigabyte mobo. Music library is on a 1.6TB RAID5 disk set directly attached and shared to the VM. Players are Softsqueeze on the VISTA, and SB2 wirelessly attached and synched.
