external Squeezebox
@peterw, can you provide a little more detail on the import process you
mention? Would I save that line of code as a txt file, e.g.
"EnableStatusFirst.txt" and then import it somewhere in the Settings
interface in SBS? Also, would {"plugin.StatusFirst::disabled":"1"}
accomplish the opposite?

The semi-graphical method of finding music on the Touch works great if
one has the Touch located so t
