Listening To Your Music Collection Without
A Computer
You do not need to keep your computer on to listen to Internet radio stations and
online music services. Just connect your Squeezebox Boom to SqueezeNetwork,
the free, online service operated by Logitech.
Listening to your music collection stored on your computer is typically accomplished
by running SqueezeCenter on your computer and connecting your Squeezebox Boom
to SqueezeCenter. If you’d like to enjoy your personal music collection without turning
on your computer, you have a couple of options.
Add a NAS Drive To Your Network
Any NAS (Network Attached Storage) device which is compatible with SqueezeCenter
can be added to your network as a music server. A list of compatible NAS drives can
be found at www.logitech.com, under Support | Troubleshooting. Select Wireless
Music Systems from the list of product categories.
Create an MP3tunes Music Locker
MP3tunes (mp3tunes.com) allows you to create a private, secure “storage locker”
for your music collection. You can upload tracks to your locker, and then access them
from any computer or Squeezebox connected to the Internet. Password protection
ensures that your music collection isn’t accessed by anyone but you.
MP3tunes is an optional service, and subscription fees apply.
