Hrrm?  This works fine:

deb http://debian.slimdevices.com/ stable main 

Nothing changed.  Note that you can, if you want, change stable to
'testing' for 7.5.2, or 'unstable' for what is now called 7.6 but may
change on release.. or may not.  The latter two are nightlies.

7.2 to 7.5 is a pretty big leap: the package name changed in there
somewhere.

Unless you have something way special in your setup, I'd delete the old
one (was it squeezecenter then?) and install the new one (now called
squeezeboxserver).  I think it tries to migrate things, but I wouldn't
trust it.

Note that the userid changed as well: if you granted things to
squeezecenter's user id, then you'll need to change that to
squeezeboxserver.  So maybe permissions on your music library need to
change.

Plugins... 7.5 plugins are -easy-.  Click a bunch of boxes to tell SBS
what to download, and it will go download and install them for you.  No
more trying to remember where they go and hoping you extract them
correctly.
