Yes, looking at the plugin options can be daunting, eh? I tend to agree
with you, not sure if unneeded plugins "hurt" in any way or are benign.

What I have done is look at the list of installed plugins and if I don't
understand exactly what they are, or if I would ever use them, I
uninstall. Similarly with uninstalled, or 3rd party. Then see if I "miss
them" :) If you find one that looks "interesting" do a search of this
forum or web for more information.

But there are some great plugins, many developed by this community:

There are all of the streaming service plugins - spotty, etc (I don't
use a streaming service). Then there are allot of other plugins that
open up free services (BBC, CBC, RadioNet, etc). There are plugins to
connect to chromecast audio and airplay devices.

Some that are essential for me:
Music and Artist Information 
Material Skin (including apk for android devices)
Radio Paradise (FLAC, 4 genre streams)
You Tube (play audio from any you tube video)
Podcasts (use Material for easy search/add)
what was that tune.
don't stop the music

But there are so many more that I have not tried. I think there are
threads here in the forum (somewhere) where people chime in on their
favorite extensions/plugins.

Good luck and welcome;
Jim
