You need to configure MusicIP and configure SqueezeCenter to perform
scanning with MusicIP and perform a full rescan. A good way is to
ensure that you have MM icons beside the artists/albums/tracks on the
standard browse pages in one of the other skins.

When you have MM icons in the standard skin and then launch the M icon
in iPeng, you will get a MusicMagic entry in the mixer screen launched
from Custom Browse. When you hit the MusicMagic entry you will get into
the web interface of the MusicMagic plugin which shows tracks in the
mix, I think this screen contains the standard browse controls which
means it only contains a + on the iPeng skin.
The page shown is based on this template:
Slim/Plugin/MusicMagic/HTML/EN/plugins/MusicMagic/musicmagic_mix.html

My bitmap code is copied from an earlier version of the default skin,
it might have changed since then. Should I change the bitmap size to
the same as the one you used in the standard iPeng browse pages ?

One reason Custom Browse is slower is because it runs more advanced SQL
statements and also run several SQL statements on some of the browse
pages. Custom Browse is currently primary optimized for flexibility,
not for speed. But I'm sure there are optimizations possible which
won't affect the flexibility, I just haven't focused on optimization
yet.
