Just in-case anyone is interested I have now managed to successfully implement the above. - ffmpegfs installed on Linux to represent all files as mp3 to MusicIP - MusicIPMixer GUI run under wine to analyse tracks - with resultant default.m3lib copied to Linux user folder - MusicMagicMixer run on Linux to do mixing - Created python proxy to convert paths to/from LMS/MusicIP 30557 (Initial, not extensively tested version) This has allowed my to analyse m4a files and have them mixable in LMS. ffmpegfs maps file.m4a to file.m4a.mp3, so my proxy adds ".mp3" to ".m4a" when LMS calls MusicIP, and converts ".m4a.mp3" to ".m4a" when the response is received. I now just need to install MusicIP on my pi4, and then analyse all my tracks... +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: MusicIP-Proxy.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30557| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Material debug:* 1.
