The LMA plugin only points to the OPML metadata files located at
www.squeezenetwork.com. The OPML metadata files then point to the
actual streams on LMA.  To me, it doesn't look like the LMA plugin in
squeezecenter actually browses LMA at www.archive.org at all!

The issue seems to be that the www.squeezenetwork.com folks are not
updating the OPML files on a regular basis, so the plugins cannot tell
that new shows have been added.

What makes it weird is that there is an RSS feed at LMA which contains
the newest releases, which they have an OMPL file for (but probably
still not updated all that frequently).  There is one specific to the
Grateful Dead as well.  Its easy to create OPML files with RSS feeds.

In the example of the Grateful Dead, the "by year" OPML files have not
been updated in some time on www.squeezenetwork.com.  At this time, the
Grateful Dead Year 1969 has 201 shows on LMA, and on squeezenetwork only
149.

To me, it looks like Squeezecenter and the plugins are working as
designed.  We need to get the www.squeezenetwork.com folks to update
their OPML files on a more regualar basis for the LMA.
