A lot of people stopped using it because it was hard to make it work. 
But it produces the best mixes (no doubt) because it works of the actual
music fingerprints rather than tags.
SSOTS included it, but since the BASH issues with SSOTS (and SSOTS no
longer being supported making updates a hassle), MUSICIP got left
behind.  You might find that some people do not want the additional
overhead of having it running, so it has to be an option.  Also, the
binaries are only for Intel - not ARM.

But I am spending a lot of time trying to get it working (my Linux
skills are almost zero).  Even if you can produce a 'how-to' document
that would be appreciated, but if you could produce a simple QPKG that
would be fabulous.
Many thanks for looking at this.  I am not having much luck with the
MUSICIP container (can't seem to access the music), and in any case,
containers do not run on a lot of the older QNAPs.

How it works?  It is a server that analyses the music, and creates a
file containing fingerprint data of the music 'profile'.  Every track
has fingerprint data, and if you want a mix of similar tracks then it
provides the list to LMS.  The interface is through port 10002 (or
whatever you configure).  The installation parameters are stored in an
ini file called mmm.ini, and the fingerprint cache is stored in
'default.m3lib (but you define the name in the ini file).  It has to be
started prior to LMS so that LMS can interface to it once running.  

In windows there is a GUI and additional function (like writing the
fingerprint data into the MP3 tags), but mostly it runs fine headless in
Linux.
