Where did all the third-party plugins stay?

Comment by martinv...@gmail.com, Oct 29, 2008

Download the source package from debian or ubuntu I've tested http://packages.debian.org/lenny/quodlibet-plugins with the 2.0 release, and so far, no show stopper bugs http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/quodlibet-plugins/quodlibet-plugins_20080601.orig.tar.gz Just because it is the best music player out there ;) Keep it up boys!
