12k tracks in 24 hours sounds considerably faster than my experience, at
least in doing the MIP first-time analysis. I do hope you are saving the
MIP data in the tags, so that you won't have to analyze again.
I think the only thing that will happen if you rescan before validation

I do that, too, though not as often as I should. I should move my cache

it gets backed up with the audio
Hey,
I got similar problems with genpuid. It corrupted even some of my mp3s
(It is always good to have a backup).
Currently I am using the MIP GUI under windows and archive the tags.
I've never observed problems here. Afterwards I copy my music to my NAS

OK I seem to have cracked it...BUT... I now seem to have lost a lot of

The bit I had got wrong was not removing the path entry for Music

the MiP database.
Within MusicIP settings I have
Back again. A clear and rescan seems to have cured that
problem...BUT...I now have duplicate tracks but only in some albums.
For example Interpol. Every album has each track twice!
I think I'm getting closer but boy oh boy this has certainly tested my
limited abilities.
Thanks for all help
Don't do that!
Set it to only import mixable status and point SBS at your flac folder
as the music library.

Yes.
A 'find changed' scan will do a MusicIP 'mixable status' scan only on
those files that have changed. When first starting out, this is not
what you want.

make sure the musicIP server is up and running before SBS is started.
Otherwise SBS does not load the MIP plugin.
In simple terms, verify the MIP server responds on localhost:10002 with
your browser. Then restart SBS and you should be good to go.

Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB
Hi epoch1970 and thanks for the tip. As I am not too technical please
bear with me. Having istalled MusicIP i now have a desktop icon for
it. I have therefore stopped SBS and opened MusicIP via the desktop
icon. I have then restarted SBS. Unfortunatelly I am still unable to
see or use
I see. What you want is running the MIP headless thing, that is a Java
server that has a user interface through a web browser. SBS interacts
with this server to generate the playlists, it must be running.
I meant checking this server was running by pointing your browser to
http://localhost:10002
Thanks for the long and considered answers. I will take my time to read
and understand your suggestions. Having looked further I don't think
spicefly is the answer. I will just focus on trying to get musicIP
working with squeezebox.

I am doing something wrong. I have followed general install

The letter M icon has a new meaning as of SBS 7.6.0 and later. On the
left side of the web ui it means More, which is what you're seeing.
On the right side of the web ui (ie, the playlist pane) it means
generate Music IP mix. The balloon tool tips also indicate this.
Also note that the M icon in
