Tips, Tricks And Advanced Techniques

StereoXL™

Squeezebox Boom uses Logitech’s StereoXL technology to dramatically widen the stereo image, creating an immersive audio experience.

To enable StereoXL, select Settings > Audio > StereoXL from the Home Screen. Then, use the navigation wheel (or the UP and DOWN buttons on the remote) to turn StereoXL on or off, or adjust its intensity.

Controlling Pandora

If you’ve used Pandora’s web interface (pandora.com), you’re already familiar with the system of telling Pandora what you think of a track. When listening to Pandora with your Squeezebox Boom, you can still tell Pandora if you like or don’t like a song, as well as use the rest of Pandora’s customization options.

When listening to a Pandora station, click the navigation wheel (or press RIGHT on the remote) to access the song menu. From there, you can select I like this song, I don’t like this song, find out why Pandora played that particular song, and more.

Mounting your Boom

If you would like to attach your Squeezebox Boom to a wall or under a kitchen counter, Logitech has a mounting kit available. For information on ordering, go to www.logitech.com/squeezebox.

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.
