All the plugins are available under open source and contributions, patches or offers to take over the maintenance of any plugin is greatly appreciated. Since I do this on my spare time any economical contributions are also greatly appreciated by purchasing plugin licenses, this is done through License Manager plugin or through: http://license.isaksson.info

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!

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.
