I followed your very good instructions and made myself familiar with how
MusicIP works. After setting up the server on my Raspberry Pi with
Max2Play and scanning my library for three days and nights straight on
two machines everythings works uncannily smooth. Thanks a lot for this
guide! I find it amazing that a piece of abandonware that's more than a
decade old still works so well.
Some things I found out during the process that might be helpful for
others:
- At first I got a lot of "Unanalyzeable" tracks. After stripping the
mp3s of all tags but ID3v1 and ID3v2.3 (!), that number dropped
drastically
- Characters that are illegal under windows in the filename are a
problem (I'm on a Mac)
- MusicIP 1.9 works just fine with Wine under MacOS Mojave. It's
actually hell of a lot faster with analyzing the files than my windows
machine.
- Analyzing too many files at once might slow down the process. I am not
sure of this, bit it felt slower when I selected more than 4000 files.
- Newer m4a files are unrecognizable for MusicIP analysis. I converted
them to mp3, analyzed them and copied the tags back to the m4as. Now
they are available for mixing.
I also have a suggestion: I'm using Spicefly Sugarcube. Is it possible
to have a quick switch in the Applications Section to switch MusicIP
processing on and off rather than going through settings?
