Although i do agree with your general sentiment, i'm not sure i get you
on this. I can't see how using a third parties software, with a plugin,
would make life easier than just having the Squeezebox software on your
PC. You would need to open and run WinAMP all the time to use the SB.
But then people with macs, linux and NAS's would also need something
too. You could end up with a whole array of different solutions, and
that would get pretty confusing too. I dont thin that logitech want to
rely on other firm software either.

I dont think SC is the problem per-say. My [not very technical] 60+
year old mother got to grips with the fact she would need iTunes on her
PC to use her iPod, but she learnt. She had to learn how to use a mobile
and VCR once too. All the best things needs some learning, we are not
talking about toasters here. The concept for Sb users should not be that
different, it's just that SC baffles many people (including me
sometimes). Settings should be presented in a way that does not confuse
people. And at the end of the day, even if they designed Sc to be so
easy a kitten could use it, people will still get baffled and frustated
with ripping CD's (what software, bitrate, format etc) and networking.
