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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bennigecko's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106958 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
