greetings-

since this was a popular bug
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6561) to vote for fixing,
I thought I'd post a forum thread about it.

I completed work on support for MusicIP on Squeezeplay (and by
extension the Squeezebox Controller) today.

The behavior is as follows:

If a selected item is "mixable" (track/artist/album/genre), press-hold
on play will generate a new mix. While the mix is being generated,
you'll see the > on the menu item start spinning. After it's completed,
a new window with the mix playlist will load (see first screenshot). The
top item on the menu will play (or add) this playlist and auto-jump you
to the current playlist window.

Sometimes there are track/artist/album/genre items that aren't mixable.
In this case, a press-hold of play will popup a message that tells you
that the item is not mixable.

Finally, when drilling into the "songinfo" window for a particular
track, there is a separate menu item for creating a MusicIP mix based
on that track (see second screenshot). Also note that the track title,
artist, album, and genre line items on the songinfo menu all have
MusicIP play-hold handlers attached to them.

There were changes on both SBC and SC for this:

for the SBController, you will need 7.1 >= r2486. Firmware with these
changes are being qualified now and should be pushed out within the
next 24h.

for SqueezeCenter, you will need SC 7.1 trunk >= r19932. Either update
your 7.1 subversion checkout or wait for the 21 May 7.1 nightly build.

cheers,
#!/ben
