SqueezeCenter CustomBrowse

This plugin for slimserver makes it possible to create your own custom browse menus on the SqueezeBox.
The menus are configured as separate *.cb.xml file with a specific format, see my Wiki for
more details about the format. A number of sample menus are delivered with the plugin such as:
- New Artists/Albums
- Artist, Albums, Genres, Years, Decades, Playlists, Music Folders
- Libraries (Possibility separate the library in several parts by having different top directories)
- Statistics (using TrackStat plugin)
- Dynamic Playlists (using DynamicPlayList plugin)

See my Wiki for information about Custom Browse and my other plugins.
