Appendix E: Using Apple iTunes

Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip your CDs, create and manage playlists, etc. It also connects to the iTunes Music Store, where Apple offers music, videos and podcasts for purchase.

SqueezeCenter can use the iTunes music library. It cannot play songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store that are protected by Apple’s FairPlay Digital Rights Management (DRM) software. This is Apple’s decision, as they will not license their DRM to other hardware manufacturers.

To set up SqueezeCenter to use your iTunes library, follow these steps:

1.Open SqueezeCenter and click on the Settings button.

2.Select the iTunes tab and make sure that the “Use iTunes” box is selected. If not, set it and click “Apply.”

3.Select the Basic Settings tab.

•Make sure Music Folder box is blank and click “Apply.”

•Scroll to Rescan Music Library, select “Clear library and rescan everything”, then click “Rescan” to start the scanning process.

If you experience problems where your music or playlists aren’t appearing, and you followed the steps above, try the following:

1.In SqueezeCenter, go to Settings > iTunes.

2.Under iTunes Music Library.XML Location enter the path to the file.

• On Windows XP, the default path is:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\

•On Windows Vista, the default path is

C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml

• On Mac OS X, the default path is: /Users/username/Music/iTunes

3.Under iTunes Music Folder specify the folder where your music is stored.

4.Go to the Basic Settings tab. Scroll down to Rescan Music Library, select “Clear library and rescan everything” , then click “Rescan”.

If you’re still experiencing problems using iTunes after trying the steps listed above, please contact Logitech Technical Support for assistance.
