At the risk of stoking up something unpleasant, I don't understand the pandora in the uk problem. I'm in the uk and it appears (to me at least) to work fine. I don't have any kind of exotic setup with dubious ip addresses etc, and when I go to the pandora site I get the 'not in the uk' message,

MC Gave Last.fm a try and understand why you recommend. Introduces new artist with similar styles. Great resource. Thanks. Have been playing with Album Review Biography and they are also must haves in my opinion. Still hoping for a plugin that will display album liners. Always enjoyed

Erland's suite of plug-ins are a must-have for me. I use SQLPlaylist (which requires Dynamic Playlist), Trackstat, Custom Skip and Custom Scan. I like random mixes that allow higher rated tracks to play more often, and skips certain tracks entirely. The combination of SQLPlaylist, Trackstat

My must have's are most of Erland's plugins. The ones I use are Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Dynamic Playlists, SQL Playlists, and Trackstat. With Custom Scan and Trackstat I can do things like filtering my MusicIP mixes based on ratings and play stats. For instance, my default filter in MIP is

I am a relative newbie to Squeezecenter and in reading this forum I find there are so many things that it can do other than just play chosen music off your HD. I find myself, and would assume other new users feel the same, confused about the functionality of many of the plugins. My hope is

I'd agree with MusicIP but RandomMix can also help you discover your music collection and it's a lot less hassle to set up (an awful lot less!). AlienBBC for listening to the unique BBC Radio offerings (esp. Radio 4 and World Service) is my all time top plugin. It's become a bit superseded by

I use the following plugins on my Squeezebox Classic 3 + Squeezecenter webinterface (I really do not known if they all work with the duet): - *Album review* (Michael Herger): An easy plugin. I check the album reviews often when I listen to the music. Long reviews you can only read further on the
