Okay, looks like all my stats are synced up now.
I understand about filters and using them as a mix base, but I can only
define which filter to be used in the SC Web interface, right? There's
no way to have the player prompt me for the filter when a mix is
created, is there?

Yes there is (for SB PlayerUI - not sure what happens on an SBC).

Ah, thanks. I see it now when I use the buttons
Right... but I'm trying to do validation via the headless server (to
avoid overwriting the cache from SC), and it seems the headless server
has no knowledge of those exclusions which were set in the desktop
version.
Oh, I understand your issue now.
I haven't noticed that behaviour myself, but I
Phil, is (has?) this enhancement going to be implemented as part of SC
is it going to remain a patch?
It has been applied to 7.3.

Well... after 2 nights and a full day of validating songs on my HP
server, it has still done less than 1,000 songs.
Last night I installed MIP on my quad core desktop, pointed it to the
same music, set it to use 3 cores, and let it analyze overnight. This
morning, it's done! I knew the desktop
once you get past the scanning process, the fun will finally begin. I've
been running MusicIP for quite some time now on my system and it does
work very well and consistently without crashes. Also, all of the
benefits of dynamic playlists can be utilized within MusicIP. All you
need to do is set

You can do the export and validate at the same time, BUT only if you are using
the same application to access the

No, it's the same thing. I

Seems like a good idea, but the mixes it gave were just 'weird'

I find that the MIP libarary is automatically fed ratings set from SC
(via TrackStat). I must admit that I don't know how this happens (is
this via MusicIP plugin or TrackStat or CustomScan?).
The first time I used CustomScan to export ratings to MusicIP.
So I would personally wait until the validation had finished, and I
would then also completely restart MusicIP to make sure the validation
result have been written to the cache before I try to export ratings.
