> TrackStat - Adds a mixer that show TrackStat statistics for the selected
albums, artist, genre, year in the browse menus.

Dynamic Playlist - Adds a mixer that shows dynamic playlists that take
a album, artist, genre, year as parameter. When the user selects a
playlist the selected album, artist, genre, year from the browse menu
is automatically sent as parameter.

Custom Skip - Adds a skip filter based on the selected album, artist,
genre, year in the browse menu.

I think I looked at the MusicMagic plugin when I implemented the above,
but if you have any specific question just ask.

Another solution is to use the Custom Browse plugin. In this case it
means that the functionality will only be available in the browse menus
implemented by the Custom Browse plugin. Custom Browse includes
implementation of all standard SlimServer browse menus besides the
Music Folder menu, plus a lot of other different browse menus. There
are two ways to integrate with the Custom Browse plugin:

1. You can get menus accessible in same was as standard mixers by
either:
- Providing a function which takes three parameters: $client, $item,
$addonly
- Providing a "mode" which you like to enter when the mixer is
launched. To get support in the web interface in this case, you also
provide an url.

2. You can access the functionality by right clicking if you provide a
"mode" which you like to enter when the user clicks the right button.
But I think you want to use the mixer functionality described in point
1 instead, since it will make the functionality available in all menus
not just a specific LastFM menu.

Custom Browse also requires a xml configuration file. If you want to go
the Custom Browse way there is more information available in the Custom
Browse documentation on my wiki:
