H. I am not getting the M next to any track in the Web GUI. I have followed all the steps and double checked them. I have stopped and restarted SBS multiple times, even tried clearing the entire database and rescanning, etc. Nada. -- Henry66

Are you running the MIP gui ? If so, click Options / Services, the API should be ticked. Click the Show Services box. This should bring up a browser window that shows the active services. -- Wirrunna A camel is a racehorse designed by a committee. --

I was blind, and now I see. :-) And that is after only two mixes. Looking forward to re-enjoying my music. I like the way it snuck in a Beethoven piece together with some Roxette and stuff. Thank the gods for ReplayGain, too. I just ripped a new CD (I use dbPowerAmp). I noticed that MIP saw the
