Thanks for the opinions. I bought MM without ever trying ML. I couldn't be happier with the way the program works. Lots of options for creating playlists. It's really opening up my collection for me. I think I've only played one album all the way through since I start using it, and that was o

I'm just looking into this as well, as I've recently finished ripping all my CDs. I was under the impression that Moodlogic was able to generate playlists based on "mood" (the analysis of which is surely subjective, and based on user feedback), while music magic created playlists based on style o

Music Magic can create a playlist based on one or more specific pieces of music, or you can use music to create a "mood", and the program will create a new playlist each time you ask based on any moods you have stored. -- Kyle

Really? Thats pretty cool - but again how does it understand "mood"? I really don't want to install both moodlogic and musicmagic. JUst noticed that MusicMagic is now called MusicIP - is that right? If you go to the predixis web site you get redirected to MusicIp.com. -- chris.mason --

I've just installed the new music magic mixer - now called MusicIP Mixer (what a terrible name). Its version 1.6. First thing I noticed is that the UI is pretty awful. Its also not documented well, and makes no mention of needing to pay for an upgrade to get all the features - you stumble on to

You need to start MusicMagic before Slimserver, and (in MusicMagic) start the API service. Then start up and open Slimserver and you will see the MusicMagic options. The post I refered to above (start MM as server) tells you how to set this up so it happens automatically when you boot up your PC.
