Thanks a lot for the clarifications Philip, makes sense now. The Mix Menus are indeed all exactly where you described they should be. Are you sure the random is only used as last resort, or might there be an odd situation where the plugin uses random to choose from the returned results? Because

As a side note, it seems like a good idea to set mixsize to a very small number in mmm.ini for a headless install, since otherwise DynamicMix will request a mix of up to 75 tracks for every single track change, while discarding 74 of them. The MusicIP plugin will still generate static playlists of
