What happens if you in the MusicIP application creates a few mixes from the Blind Melon track ? Is the Aretha Franklin track part of any of the mixes it produce based on the Blind Melon track ? I don't know exactly how SugarCube logic works and it's hard to tell because it's not possible to look at the code as it's obfuscated, but if it requests a mix from MusicIP with x number of tracks and just picks a random track from the mix result to add to the SBS/LMS playlist the switch from Blind Melon to Aretha Franklin might not be that unrealistic. I suspect this isn't really an error, I think it might just be that acoustic analysis works this way so even if your brain think they aren't similar the acoustic analysis algorithm in MusicIP might think there are some similarities.

My suggestion if you want to investigate this further is to switch to cparker's private support forum and ask for help troubleshooting it, I think he primarily uses his own forum to handle support to users, this thread is mainly here to make it possible for community members to help other community members. cparker has access to the non obfuscated code and knows how the logic is supposed to work, so it would probably be a lot easier for him to help you troubleshoot it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73988 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
