Once you install the player and show it the way to your stash of audio files, and it begins the (lengthy) process of examining each track's "sound fingerprint." It can take quite a while for Mufin to complete its analysis, so you might want to relax and check out some Time Wasters while it does its thing.
Suggestions can be made either from your own library or from Mufin.com. Now, they might not always right on target, but I'm not going to hold a grudge against a piece of software that can't find decent, non-Primus matches for a song like "Here Come the Bastards."
