Sorry, I misunderstood your initial question.  What version of Myth &
MythMusic are you running?  If you're trying to use CVS, you must make sure
that your versions match (i.e., the mythmusic plugin must be built against
the same version of the myth libs that are installed).  Try running
"mythfrontend mythmusic" from a terminal and see what it says.
