An Important Word About Music Sources
Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source in order to function.
There are two music sources available: SqueezeNetwork
™
and SqueezeCenter
™
.
SqueezeNetwork
SqueezeNetwork is a free, Internet-based service provided by Logitech. It allows you
to connect to a wide variety of services, including Internet radio guides and online
music services, like Rhapsody
®
, Sirius Internet Radio, and Pandora
®
Radio. You can even
store your own music collection in an online MP3tunes music locker so you can listen
to your music when your computer is turned off.
Please note that some music services may charge a separate fee for use; we provide
free trials so you may try them first.
SqueezeCenter (Optional)
SqueezeCenter is an application you run on a computer connected to your local
network to deliver your personal music collection to the Squeezebox players in your
home. You can also connect to Internet radio guides and online music services via
SqueezeCenter.
If you are not interested in listening to your personal music collection, or if you
are planning to upload your music to an MP3tunes music locker, you do not need
SqueezeCenter.
