MIP analyses the musicfiles and stores this information in a database. You can choose to also store the analysis info in the musicfile-tag. This is a good idea because in case you have a corrupt database or do a clean install, the analysis is still available in the musictags and rebuilding the database will be very quick. But MIP always builds a database. In order for Sugarcube to work you need at least MIP to run (in headless mode). Sugarcube asks MIP to create a mix and Sugarcube takes a (or the first) song from the mix and plays it and so on. So sugarcube has no database, it just uses MIP. For this to work you don't need SC and MIP integration, but of course MIP has to run. I'm not sure how to create a mix of 3 different seeds. I just just Sugarcube and play a little with the mix settings in order to get playlists with more or less variety in the mix. -- raven22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ raven22's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16511 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
