I don't use Sugarcube much anymore. Instead, I use something similar that I've developed (extended initially from some older Sugarcube source code). I created a plugin called DynamicMix, which provides some additional modes for Erlands DynamicPlaylist plugin, using MusicIP to select new tracks to add. I released an initial version of DynamicMix, but I've got a better version here that I've been using for a while that I haven't published. If you're interested in giving it a go, I'll release it into my repository. I effectively have a MusicIP filter to select tracks that are rated 4* or higher, or not rated. DynamicMix provides different modes, which effectively are ways to choose the starting seed, either from chosen song, artist, album, genre, MusicIP Mood, or it can use the currently playing track or a random song from the currently selected MusicIP filter, or totally random song as an initial seed as a complete fail-over backup (eg. if MusicIP is not responding). This made it very resilient to be used as an alarm clock - it never fails to play something for me in the morning to wake me up, even if MusicIP is dead (it sometimes doesn't seem to work for a period of time after waking from standby, but eventually kicks in when it does start responding to requests).
