Personally, that would be very sad: TrackStat And Friends are one of my
favorite features of SC, and every morning the wife complains that I no
longer have the Ambient Dynamic Playlist for an alarm.

Absolute 'must haves' would really be the core TrackStat itself and
Dynamic Playlists (which I think implies SQL Playlists).

It's nice to have Custom Browse, but not essential for my use since I'm
not smart enough to use the templates to their full abilities... and
CustomScan and MultiLibrary are nice to keep the wife's music seperate,
but I can manage without...

Since this series of plugins are all very related and intermixed and
grew up in what appears to be an unplanned way (no offense intended: I
don't think anyone, including yourself, realized how useful they would
become), would there be a benefit in focusing on TrackStat itself (since
it has the core ratings support and such) and integrating the more
common usages (like Dynamic/SQLPlaylists) into Trackstat itself?
