Thanks Agillis - and congratulations on a wonderfully (especially for a
novice) easy installation of VortexBox. I still can't believe I got it
working!
Your suggestion re trackstats worked.
But for novices even contemplating the command line is hard. For
example, although I will no doubt work

presumes I know where (and how) to put the mplayer file on the Linux
machine (that I downloaded on Windows) to get it installed on
VortexBox.
No.. that's the beauty of linux. That command will download it from an
online repository and install

Great - thanks for letting me know.
I have put on all the plugins that I had on my windows machine on
VortexBox and only 2 cause problems.
Biography and Album
You should talk to the plugin developers. Are you using the same version
of the plugin on each machine? I will add a little Introduction to the
Linux command line section to the VortexBox website when I get a
chance. Thanks for your input.

Many of the plugins can now be downloaded from the user interface. The
plugins on VortexBox are located in /var/lib/squeezecenter/Plugins
What plugin are you interested in?

The trackstat plugin also has an option to backup/restore data to/from a
file (never tested it though). And as agillis already said, most plugins
can be downloaded in the Extension Donloader now, so you won't run into
file permission problems.

Thanks for replies.
I have discovered (using the GUI on Windows) the ease of using the
Repositries to get the PlugIns on the VortexBox (same as in Windows).
As I have used Squeezecenter on my Windows machine for a year or more,
I really would like to get the TrackStat ratings for each music
TrackStat has a backup feature that is part of it's interface. Backup up
TrackStat using windows. Call the file something like trackstat.bak Then
connect over the network to your vortexbox SMB share. Put the
trackstat.bak files in \\vortexbox\files\music\playlist the go to the
user interface on
