Hi netchord

Just a few (hopefully helpful) comments on your installation approach:

- Installing in the directory
/Library/PreferencePanes/Squeezebox.prefPane/contents/server/Slim/Plugin/
as you suggest will work, but you will need to reinstall the plugin if
you update to a new version of the server software as this directory
will be overwritten by the installation of the new version.  (As an
aside, because you are using Mountain Lion, it would be worthwhile
updating to the beta of 7.7.3 or 7.8 because this will stop your server
going to sleep while it is playing music/radio.)

- Better to use the ~user/Library/Application Support/Squeezebox/Plugins
as the install instructions suggest...  The trick is that you do have a
Library folder in your User folder - it is just hidden by the operating
system (this was a new 'feature' introduced in Mac OS X 10.7 and later).
To reveal your ~user/Library folder, the easiest way is in Finder,
click on Go in the menu bar at the top of the screen and then hold down
the alt/option key.  As if by magic, your Library folder will appear in
the menu, click on this and you can then navigate to the folder you
need.  You will find all sorts of interesting stuff in the ~user/Library
folder, but best not to mess with it or your funny things can happen to
your system - maybe this is why Apple felt the need to hide it?

- If you install the plugin from the usual plugin tab it will appear in
~user/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/InstalledPlugins/Plugins (your other
third party installed plugins should be here already if you have
installed any).  Manually installing the iTunesUpdate folder to this
folder should work as well.  Not sure why installing from the plugin tab
said "failed to load" for you - may be that you restarted before it had
downloaded from the repository?  (When the plugin is downloaded, but
before it has been installed by restarting the server it should appear
in ~user/Library/Caches/Squeezebox/DownloadedPlugins.)


Hope this helps.

Kind regards
