Magnatune for SqueezeCenter
From magnaslim
Magnatune for SqueezeCenter is a plugin for the SqueezeCenter home music server, which allows you to play Magnatune previews through your Squeezebox.

Installing
Install the plugin using the extension downloader found in SqueezeCenter. Open your SqueezeCenter, and click Settings. Then select Advanced -> Extension Downloader, and paste the following in as an 'additional repository':
http://magnaslim.sourceforge.net/repository.xml
Click 'apply' to add the repository. You should now see Magnatune listed at the bottom of the page. Check the box, and hit 'apply' again. Remember to restart the server.
Usage
On the Squeezebox Classic, you'll find Magnatune underneath "Music Services". The first time you access it, it'll download the catalogue from Magnatune and this will take a few seconds.
There's also a web interface: on the default SqueezeCenter skin, look for Magnatune underneath "Music Services".
Unfortunately there's no support for the Squeezebox Controller yet, but you can use the web interface to control playback through a Duet.
You need a broadband (or better) always-on connection to the Internet to make use of this plugin.
Older versions
Older versions of the plugin, for use with older versions of SqueezeCenter, are available from here.
