MusicMagicDJ Script

[MusicBringer]

Hello folks, I would like a little help here please
I have read this thread and have to confess a lot of it is going over my head

I like the sound of the original "What is it"

It's another AutoDJ. When turned on it waits till the last track in the "Now Playing" list starts up, then queries your MusicMagic server for a suitable track to queue up next. If none are found it should just add a track you've never heard before. If that fails it should just add any old track not in the "Now Playing" list.

I need to understand what is MusicMagic server.
Do I simply install the script and that's it, or is there more to it, such as installing something else..??

I am running XP Media Centre Edition (although I always go in through XP and do not touch the MCE side).
Both MM3, and my MM.DB are on an ext hard drive together with my music collection.
Thanks,

AFAIK, this script references a program called MusicIP.
So, no,

Do I simply install the script and that's it, or is there more to it, such as installing something else..??

It requires other software that it is referencing.

MusicMagicDJ

What you need
MediaMonkey (at least 2.5.2.951) - The best and only.
MusicMagic Mixer - "It’s a multi-million dollar MUSIC development application---and it’s yours for FREE." woohoo.

But, hey MusicIP seems to be a "...multi-million dollar MUSIC development application---and it’s yours for FREE."

And, boy, a multi-million dollar thingee for FREE sounds like a right good deal.

Hello drjboulder, thanks for answering

I think you can see why I am confused.

The "What you need" says I need just two items of software: MM3 and MusicMagic Mixer.

Whereas you are saying I also need to get MusicIP (at a cost of ~$20?) and then install it, in addition to MM3 and MusicMagic Mixer.

Sorry I am not understanding this at all well

btw, I do not use (nor do I want to use) neither winamp, nor iThingies.

I can't seem to get this to work either.

I already had Music IP Mixer installed before I tried this. I installed this script, and checked the enabled box in its option page in MB. It isn't clear to me from the instructions if M IP needs to be actually running at the time you use it, or if just installing it is enough, so I ran it to be on the safe side.

I played a track, the track ended, and nothing happened. No new tracks are added to Now Playing. (Vista in case it matters. I ran the script installation elevated to administrator)

Am I missing something?

I just downloaded the latest version that's compatible with MM3 and it works like a charm (I've used this script for quite a long time with MM2 and I'm always amazed with what MusicIP comes up with). Please note, however, that in the configuration window of the script, it still shows the version as 1.8 - shouldn't it be 1.9?

Thanks again for updating this script.

I just ran the Music Magic DJ. When I open MM it gives me this error:

Error#429 Microsoft VBScript runtime error
ActiveX component can't create object: 'SongsDB.SDBApplication'
File: "C:\Program Files\Media Monkey\Scripts\Auto\MusicMagicDJ Config.vbs", Line 3, Column: 0

Another Error :

Error happened during script execution:
ActiveX component can't create object: 'SongsDB.SDBApplication'

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks !!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but the "multi-million dollar" marketing blurb is confusing me here, and it seems others are confused too

Please tell me what I need to install, what I need to do, and how I should run this feature
Thanks,

I can't make this thing work for all the cotton candy in Cumbria. The output log being enabled and no output log being created suggests to me that it's not even working a little bit, yet I have the configuration settings (which have affected the content of the MM.ini) and the clickable icon in the toolbar. I am using MM v3.0.3.1183 and MusicIP Mixer v1.9b6. I have activated the API server and the port matches... I just don't understand why it's not working. Any help to get me on track would be greatly appreciated.

[Eiron Page]

Right. Running it as administrator (after manipulating the registry to stop those annoying dialogue boxes) seems to make it work. Though this is a puzzlement.

since daniel has not been here in a long time.
anyone that wants to join his other forum he's in and ask him to help on his script can find his forum here.

maybe you can get him to look in here every day or week also.

Sorry for not visiting this site recently. I think the script is working ok, but it comes with no support or warranty.

Fortunately Apple has released iTunes 8 which includes a similar feature to this script - 'Genius (tm)'. Here's my take on it. This has the advantage of probably working straight out of the box without any configuration or fiddling required.

Hope this helps.

I've finally installed MediaMonkey 3 on my pc and encountered some problems with this script, so I've updated it to v3.0. Get it from the link indicated in the first post.

Have a great festive season everyone.

Hi

The download seems to be 1.9 unless I've done something wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks

[DanielWebb]

Forgot to upload the setup file. It should be 3.0 now. Sorry about that.

[maransoftware]

Many thanks. That worked a treat. Just one question, should this work with wma files?

Thanks
