It can be installed over the old one although you should note the
following.

Installation location
The "correct" place for 3rd party plugins installed via the settings
page is in C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins
whereas the manual install puts the files here C:\Program Files
(x86)\Squeezebox\server\plugins

I found this very confusing as I had installed over the top of a manual
install and then removed the files in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Squeezebox\server\plugins, not realising that the plugin had
installed to a different location. So I didn't see how it would still be
working.

Updating Binaries
This is optional - if you have a working installation you won't gain
much if anything here. The primary reason was to simplify the install,
so no need for a new install of .NET runtimes or Mono on Linux

Features
There are no new features over the existing code. In fact I have ripped
out some of the code associated with making room measurements and
various noise generators there as better solutions out there now.


Roadmap
The main rationale here was to upgrade to a simplified install that
would work on most platforms and give me something solid to put future
upgrades in place. Like you I have found he DSP and in particular room
correction is the biggest single  audio improvement that you can make to
your system, so enabling more people to do it easily is the first step.

I am planning to do a post on the easiest way to take room measurements
that work, but want to test it out on my newest and cheapest measurement
mic first. I will probably post that on ASR.

I will then be doing some experiments with CamillaDSP to see if that
will work as a replacement of InguzDSP as the DSP engine. In theory
Camilla is much faster and allows full Parametric EQ - if I can figure
this out then the UI will need to change but I think the foundation is
there. 

>From this point onwards any changes will be around the usability of the
UI.
