Well, maybe this information could be useful: This is how I seee it at a high level. The difference between MusicIP and SugarCube is that with MusicIP one can "manually" create an intelligent playlist with a predetermined number of tracks based on a "single" seed (track). While SugarCuge (when enabled) "automatically" creates an endless playlist where the next track is selected by MusicIP based on currently playing track. In essence the resulting playlists from SugarCube are based on "multiple" seeds. The mood of a playlist generated using MusicIP will closely follow the mood of the seed track while the mood of a SugarCube playlist will eventually diverge from the mood of the seed track. Looks like apples and oranges, but SugarCube is "dependent" on the intelligence of the MusicIP engine to select the next track to the playlist. Here is some more info that might help: There are to methods to "validate" one's library using MusicIP. One is with embedded MusicIP tags that hold the validation info and the other is by using a reference file (default.m3lib) which holds an index of tracks with their corresponding MusicIP validation info. Because MusicIP is/was in Beta I choose to use the index file method. If I decide to change the location of my music library I have to reflect that change in the default.m3lib file for MusicIP to continue to work. I still don't know if adding the MusicIP tags to my library might affect the way it works with SC or other media players/servers. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67592 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
