Right click on the track in MIP after analysis and you will see the option to Archive the analysis to the file. It does add new tags to your files without changing any of the previous tags. That's not my experience - I found that Archive Analysis sometimes lost content in tags. It appears that

I found this happened with multi-valued id3 tags. e.g. if you have several ARTIST or GENRE tags, rather than use a separator character in a single tag value, then it is likely that only the first artist/genre would be kept. I take this back. I just tried this again with id3v2.4 tags

Henry, If the 'M' shows in the gui as detailed in my previous post, then when the MIP mix preferences are set, you can make a mix from the Touch. On the Touch, select New Music, Select an album and all the tracks displayed. (I have only just got a Touch and have only tried this from New Music,

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.

OK, so the MusicIP service is not running. When I click Start it tells me Unable to start server. Try using another port. Of course, I get the same thing for any port that I try. Maybe it does not work with Windows 7 64-bit? -- Henry66

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

Henry, I'd walk first before I tried flying. MIP will see the tracks if you ticked 'Monitor Folders Continuously' on the Preferences / Watch Folders page. In the MIP GUI, I added 'status' in Preferences / Playlist View, so new tracks not only turn green, but their status changes to analyzed. You
