I believe I have the same problem.
I've never used Music Magic 1.5, I went straight to MusicIP 1.6b2.

I'm using Windows XP with SP2, running SlimServer 6.2.1.
I'm running the MusicMagicService that came with MusicIP (the Slim
Service is set up to be dependant on MusicMagic so it starts in the
right order).

I noticed yesterday that when I have Slim use MusicMagic, the song
count would increase by about 60 tracks.  I also noticed some off
behaviour in that some tracks were being duplicated.

I then trawled all my songs in Slim alphabetically (I only have about
2000), and found all the duplicated tracks - it was easy to see as the
duplicated tracks appeared as one with the "M" (mixable) mark and one
without.

I found that the duplicates exactly accounted for the extra tracks, and
that all the duplicates had extra non-alphanumeric characters, including
"?".  This struck me as being a character encoding issue.  Not only that
but when I checked the tag data on the Mixable tracks (i.e. the ones
passed in from MIP), they appear to have NO tags.

My configuration was that I had the path my music specified both in
Slim Server and MusicIP.   When I removed the path from SlimServer and
re-scanned, as you would expect, the song count dropped by 60 to the
correct number.  I then check the problematic tracks, and again as I
expected, they appeared to have no tags.

Just to check, I disabled MusicMagic integration, and reset the music
path in Slimserver, then re-scanned, and everything was back to how it
should be.

I suspect this is a MusicIP issue not a SlimServer problem.

Chris.
