About Squeezebox

Thank you for purchasing a Squeezebox network music player. Squeezebox

lets you play your digitized music collection through your stereo system

using your wireless or ethernet network. With Squeezebox, you can also

listen to internet radio stations, set alarms, display RSS feeds, and more!

This user guide includes setup and basic operating instructions for your

new player. Since Slim Devices is continually adding new features to

Squeezebox, some new capabilities may not be covered here. You can ﬁnd

additional information about the latest Squeezebox features, as well as

detailed documentation for developers, on the Slim Devices web site,

http://www.slimdevices.com/.

Squeezebox is powered by the open source SlimServer software, which is

the result of the efforts of software developers worldwide working together

in an open community. We are grateful to everyone in the Slim Devices

community who helped create Squeezebox.

We hope you enjoy Squeezebox and that you’ll tell a friend about Slim

Devices.

Before You Begin

If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to

use as a server, setting up Squeezebox and SlimServer takes just a few

minutes—all you need to get your music playing through Squeezebox is in

this owner’s guide.

1. First, collect your digitized music into one place on your computer.

You can put all the ﬁles in a single directory, or create a series of

subdirectories. The software you use to ‘rip’ your CDs, such as

iTunes, may already do this and organize your music ﬁles by album

or by artist.

2. Next, download the latest version of the SlimServer software to the

same computer as your music collection. You can ﬁnd the latest

version of SlimServer here:

http://www.slimdevices.com/download

Installing the SlimServer Software

Installing on Windows

1. Download the SlimServer installer program to a location you can

ﬁnd again on your computer. Your Desktop is a good choice.

2. When the ﬁle has ﬁnished downloading, double-click on the

SlimServer installer icon. The SlimServer Setup Wizard starts.

Tip: You may see an ‘Open File - Security Warning’, if so, click Run.

3. Follow the instructions to set up SlimServer, and specify:

• Where to install the SlimServer software

• Where on your computer your music collection is (you can

change this later)

• Where to save and look for any playlists you create

• Where to place shortcuts and icons for the application

4. Click Next to accept the default value at each panel. If you want to go

back and change your selection, click Back.

When you have ﬁnished conﬁguring your installation, the Setup

Wizard displays a summary of your choices.

5. Click Install.

SlimServer is installed and the “Completing the SlimServer Setup

Wizard” panel is displayed.

6. Click OK.

7. A Squeezebox icon will appear in your Windows System Tray at the

bottom right of your screen, right-click on this icon to show a menu

and choose to open the SlimServer software, Stop SlimServer or go

to the Slim Devices web site.

Installing on Mac OS X

1. Save the .dmg ﬁle to your Desktop.

2. When the ﬁle has ﬁnished downloading, double-click on the disk

image ﬁle (.dmg) to make it appear on your desktop. Your web

browser may do this for you automatically.

3. Double-click on the SlimServer Installer icon. The SlimServer

Installer will start.

4. You can choose whether you want to install SlimServer for all users

or just for the current user. If you want to install SlimServer for all

users, you must provide an administrator password. (If you install

SlimServer for all users, the user that starts SlimServer will be the

only user who can stop SlimServer later on.)

5. Click Install. After the Installer completes the installation, click OK.

6. System Preferences will open and show you the SlimServer

preference pane. Here you can choose whether you would like the

SlimServer to start automatically whenever you start or log in to

your computer.

7. Click Start Server. After a few seconds you can click on the Web

Access button. The SlimServer web interface will open in your web

browser. Feel free to bookmark this page so you can get back to it

quickly in the future.

Installing on Linux or Other Operating System

If you are running Red Hat Linux or other compatible distributions, you can

install the RPM ﬁle using the rpm tool.

If you are using another Unix platform, you can download the SlimServer

software perl scripts available in gzipped tar or zip format. Instructions for

starting the perl server are included with the scripts.

Additional information about installing SlimServer on other platforms can

be found on our web site at http://wiki.slimdevices.com or in our forums at

http://forums.slimdevices.com.

Connecting Squeezebox

1. Connect Squeezebox to your stereo ampliﬁer or receiver using the

included RCA cable with the red and white connectors.

You can also connect a digital optical cable to the square connector

or digital coaxial cable to the orange connector. (These cables are

not included.) If you are using headphones or powered speakers, you

can connect them to the 1/8” mini-jack.

2. If you have a wired-only Squeezebox, connect an ethernet cable from

your hub or switch to Squeezebox.

3. Put the two AAA batteries into the remote control.

4. Connect the power supply to Squeezebox and plug it in.

You can leave Squeezebox plugged in at all times. When not in use, it

enters standby mode and powers down the display.

Note: Squeezebox comes with a regulated power adaptor. Do not use

a different power supply; this may damage the player.

Conﬁguring Squeezebox

When you plug in Squeezebox, the Slim Devices logo is displayed brieﬂy,

followed by a welcome message.

Set Up Networking

1. Press the RIGHT arrow on the remote control. The Set Up Networking

menu option is displayed.

2. Press the RIGHT arrow to enter networking setup.

3. If you have a wired-only Squeezebox, skip to step 7. If you have

a wireless Squeezebox, choose whether you want to connect

Squeezebox to a wireless or wired network by pressing the UP and

DOWN arrows on the remote. When you have made your selection,

press the RIGHT arrow.

4. Squeezebox asks you for your local region or country. Scroll using

the DOWN arrow on the remote until you ﬁnd the local region. Press

the RIGHT arrow to select your region.

Note: Failure to select the appropriate region may violate local laws.

5. Squeezebox will scan to ﬁnd your wireless network. Select your

network name (SSID) and press the RIGHT arrow.

If you are in an area where there are multiple wireless networks, you

can scroll down using the remote until you ﬁnd the one you want to

use. If your router is not broadcasting your network name, you will

need to select “Enter a network name”.

Tip: You can use the number buttons on the remote to enter text as

you might on a cell phone. Use the ADD button on the remote as a

backspace and the PLAY button to insert a letter.

6. If your network is secured with WEP or WPA encryption, you’ll need

to enter the network password or key using the numbers and letters

on the remote and press the RIGHT arrow. If your network supports

more than one type of encryption at a time or is not broadcasting

its SSID, Squeezebox may ﬁrst ask you to choose your encryption

method ﬁrst.

8Squeezebox Owner’s Guide

SLIM DEVICES

Tip: WEP keys consist of a string of ten or twenty-six digits or letters

A through F. WPA passwords are a string of letters, numbers or

punctuation.

Squeezebox connects to your wireless network. If Squeezebox does

not connect to your wireless access point, you can press the LEFT

arrow to go back and ﬁx your settings. If you are still having trouble,

check the Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide.

7. Choose whether you want the Squeezebox to obtain an IP address

automatically using DHCP, or whether you want to assign it a static

IP address. Most networks will let Squeezebox obtain an address

automatically. Press the RIGHT arrow.

If you chose to assign Squeezebox a static IP, enter it using the

numbers on the remote. Press the RIGHT arrow to save the address.

Tip: Use leading zeroes to specify numbers with fewer than 3 digits,

for example, you would enter 010.001.004.281 for 10.1.4.281.

Enter the subnet mask for the network, the default gateway IP

address, and the address of your DNS server, pressing the RIGHT

arrow on the remote to move to each one.

Connecting to SlimServer

1. If SlimServer isn’t already running, start it now.

Squeezebox will scan your local network to ﬁnd the computer that’s

running SlimServer. If you started SlimServer after conﬁguring

Squeezebox, you may need to scroll to ﬁnd it.

2. Select the computer you want to use. If you are running SlimServer

on multiple computers on your local network, you can use the DOWN

arrow to scroll to the one you want to use.

3. Press the RIGHT arrow on the remote to connect.

Setup is complete.

Tip: If you want to go back to setup later press the LEFT arrow on the

remote down and hold it for ﬁve seconds. Squeezebox will return to

the Set Up Networking menu.
