Phil, the update to the plugin is great.
I wasn't bothered by the scan speed, as I always do a complete rescan
every night.
However, the use of SqueezeCentre's scan of the tag data is far better
than MusicIP and I now get the expected impact of tag changes.
I'll look and see if any other
It actually seems I have to make two scans to get my new music
remixable. No idea why, but it is OK since every scan now goes so much
faster than ever before with Phil's modified plugin.

This is a very good fix to this plugin, but I think it has been missed

Yep, MusicIP is good, but SC scanning/library capabilities are far superior.
Therefore, don't let MusicIP overwrite your tag
