No offense taken, I completely agree with you that browsing
functionallity should be part of the standard slimserver. I mentioned
it as a temporary solution. The browsing that exists today in standard
slimserver is good if you know what you want to listen to, but it is
not enough if you want the system to help you to suggest what to listen
to.

Functionality silimiar to serveral parts of my plugins are probably
suitable to have in standard slimserver, stuff like:
- Statistic data that survives a rescan. (TrackStat)
- Smart playlists (SQLPlayList)
- Set/View ratings (TrackStat)
- Simplified playlist handling (DynamicPlayList)

Now, I am not suggesting these plugins should be part of standrad
slimserver because that is probably not a good idea. 
I am just saying that it would be good if similar functionallity were
implemented in standard slimserver so it were available without
installation of 3rd party plugins.

I have no problem at all with the idea that my plugins would be
invalidated/replaced with similar functionallity in standard
slimserver.

The enhancement request that started this thread is this, so please
vote on it if you would like the functionallity:
