The blank squares problem is a failure by MusicIP to handle Unicode characters properly. The bug was introduced in the current release candidate 1.6 and fixed from beta version 1.6 beta 3 (see the thread on this topic on the MIP forums). The current beta candidate is 1.6rc2 - and the email I g

I've now got good behaviour with (i) only ID3v2.3 (ISO-8859-1) tags on all of my files and (ii) no MusicIP fingerprints (although not sure whether the latter is necessary or not). -- smc2911 smc2911's Profile: http://forum

I've followed your advice and ditched my MIP fingerprint and data tags from all MP3s. I stopped both MIP and ML and then rescanned everything to hopefully clear the corruption. Then I've restarted MIP and ML, and slim is in the middle of a rescan again. I think you're right on both counts - the

I have also had some weird behaviour with MusicMagic/MusicIP. I initially began (briefly) to validate using a Windows MusicIP Mixer set to archive (i.e. write fingerprint tags back to the music files). I changed my mind and stopped, then switched to running the Linux headless server (my music is o

I have noticed that when editing tags with MusicIp 1.6 the tags gets corrupted in the way that Windows can't show them correctly in explorer. Looking at the tags in my MP3-tag-program shows them fine, and after resaving them to the file they once again show up correctly in explorer... -- blader

I had something similar happen on my system - after upgrading to MusicIP 1.6. Slimserver 6.2.2 beta had been running fine with MusicMagic 1.4. There was a thread somewhere here on the board talking about that. Apparently a known MusicIP bug with accented characters - had been fixed before but now

Yes, this would totally work. (And I've re-scanned numerous times since the upgrade, even without the automated re-scan each night). The strange thing, though, is that if I add all tracks from "chillout" genre, for example, I'l get a couple of "corrupt" tags. If I then clear the playlist and ad

Yes indeed - MP3Tag is my tagger of choice (though I've also got MP3TagTools around, somewhere). I don't use MusicIP as a tagger as such - it would be handy to use it if I spotted an incorrect tag while using MusicIP Mixer, though I've found that whichever tags it updates are subsequently missing

Have you taken a good look at your tags with something like 'Mp3tag' (www.mp3tag.de/en)? I haven't seen MusicIP mentioned as a tagging program - I thought it was more for generating playlists, but since I don't use it, I could be wrong. -- Mark Lanctot -
