Install SqueezeCenter (Optional)

SqueezeCenter is the music server that runs on your computer and connects your Squeezebox players and controllers to your local music files, as well as allowing you to use third-party plug-ins (applications that extend the features and functions of your Squeezebox). If you’re planning to use your Squeezebox Duet only to listen to Internet radio and online music services, or if your music is stored in an MP3tunes music locker, you may skip this step.

SqueezeCenter can be downloaded from www.squeezenetwork.com. After you log into SqueezeNetwork, click on the Download SqueezeCenter button and follow these steps:

1.Select the version of SqueezeCenter for your operating system to begin the download and save the application to a location where you’ll be able to locate it later.

2.Once the download is complete, double-click on the installer icon and follow the on-screen directions.

3.The first time SqueezeCenter starts, you will be asked for the location of your music files and playlists, as well as your SqueezeNetwork account information. SqueezeCenter will start to scan your

music collection; the time needed to complete the scan will vary, depending on the size of your collection and your computer’s speed.

Note: SqueezeCenter will scan one folder, including all sub-folders, for your music. If you have music stored in multiple folders, or on multiple computers, you’ll need to create a shortcut to those other folders and store them wherever you set SqueezeCenter to scan for your music.

Note: If your are installing SqueezeCenter on a Linux-based computer, or wish to install on a variant of Unix using a tarball, instructions can be found at wiki.slimdevices.com.
