Henry, have a look at this post

The Mix happens when the 'M'is against a track or album. 

(maybe worthwhile reading the rest of the thread

In the MIP gui, click on the red spanner icon to bring up the
Preferences box, then General, then tick the box next to 'Archive
analysis when tracks are analyzed'. Then when a track is analyzed, two
new tags are added but no existing tags are altered. 
In Squeezebox Server, Server Settings / Plugins / set 'Only read
Mixable Status', then I keep it simple - Player Settings for each mix
to No, Mix Size to Number of Tracks to 75, Style 150, Variety 3, Mix
Genre to No, Reject 2 tracks, and important Reload interval 0, stops it
automatically scanning.

Henry, I have not used the GenPUID stuff so cannot help here.
