MusicIP Mixer Help - Working with SlimServer

MusicIP Mixer can work with SlimServer to let you view and play your music collection from your SqueezeBox. You will need to have MusicIP Mixer running on the same computer as SlimServer.

You will need MusicIP Mixer version 1.1.3 (or later) to use the SlimServer integration. You will not need a premium key, although if you enjoy the product, why not show your support by getting one? You will also need a recent build of SlimServer which supports MusicIP Mixer, available from the link below. (Note that it is called by the earlier name, MusicMagic, currently.)

Once you have SlimServer, and are running MusicIP Mixer, go to the MusicIP Mixer preferences panel by selecting File/Customize Options. Select Services, then check the API checkbox, and press the Start button. If you exit MusicIP Mixer while the service is running, then the service will automatically restart whenever you start the mixer, until you stop it using the preferences panel.

Next, configure your SlimServer to use MusicMagic from the Server settings page. Now, as you are using your SqueezeBox, any time you can create a mix off the current selection, you will see a small "mm" at the top right of your SqueezeBox display. Press and hold the play button to get a mix based on the current selection.

If you have comments, or feature requests, feel free to mail us at support@musicip.com or visit our forums at http://forums.musicip.com.

The API is available for the truly adventurous, who may want to hack the code further.
