All the plugins are available under open source and contributions, patches or offers to take over the maintenance of any plugin is greatly appreciated. Previously licenses for some of the plugins had to be purchased through License Manager plugin or through: http://license.isaksson.info but this is no longer required with the latest plugin versions which are available for free.

Also contributor to some other third party plugins, such as:

• iPeng plugin -- Control your SqueezeBox with iPhone or iPod Touch
• Spicefly SugarCube plugin -- Drive through your library using MusicIP to play music, nonstop with no hassle, no annoying pre-creating playlists and all that button fidderling!
• Social Music Discovery -- Discover your music and maintain metadata for it

If you like help regarding any of these plugins, the best way is to post in the 3rd party plugins section of the forum and enter the plugin name somewhere in the title of the new thread.
