Some people tell me that genpuid doesn't work reliably anymore.

In this case, you can connect to the headless and do it manually. For
simplicity, let's assume your MIP server is called "squeezecenter" and
you can reach it with a -ping- in your local network (but you can also
use its IP instead of the name):
  
- Go to the headless Web UI: -http://squeezecenter:10002/-
- Next to the "Add Music" button, enter the base folder of your
  music, i.e. -/storage/music/squeeze-
- Click on the "Add Music" button and wait for "Adding tracks..." to
  finish. (It will -not- add existing music twice.)
- If you have deleted or moved songs, you can now click on "Refresh
  Songs". This will remove obsolete entries from your MusicIP cache
  file.
- If "Songs to validate" is greater zero, click on "Start validation"
  and wait for that process to finish. (This will store the validation
  data only in the cache, usually not in the files themselves,
  unfortunately.)
- When all is finished, -write back the cache to disk- by issuing a
  -http://squeezecenter:10002/api/flush- You should get an empty page
  with just the number "1" at the top left. MIP headless has now written
  the cache file back to disc.
- Finally, do a "Look for new and changed music" rescan in your SC
  and your changes should be incorporated into SC's music library and
  the new songs "mixable".
  

I'd still recommend trying to see if -genpuid- somehow starts working
again from time to time, because it can include the analysis and
fingerprint data within the actual music files, which is preferable
since you don't have to re-validate all songs if ever the cache file
gets lost/messed up. You could also use the MusicIP Mixer for that.
