The remote control uses infrared light to communicate with Squeezebox Boom. The infrared sensor is on Booms front panel, so for best results, usethe remote while you are in front of Boom and within line of sight. Ifyouwould like information on the multi-room Squeezebox Controller, seeUsing Boom as part of a whole-house system later in this guide. Squeezebox Boom does not have a dedicated stop button. This is because it works much like an MP3 or CD player, allowing you to pause your music and return to it at any time. Tapping pause pauses the track; if you want to stop playing the track, press and hold pause. Selecting a track, artist, album, genre or another playlist from your music collection or from an online music service and pressing play will clear the current playlist (called Now Playing) from memory and create a new playlist from the item youve selected. If you would like to add the selected item tothe end of Now Playing, press add instead. If you press and hold add, theselected item will be be inserted into Now Playing so that it plays next. The Snooze button has a default waiting period of nine minutes. SeeSqueezebox Booms Alarm, later in this guide, for instructions for changing the delay time.

An Important Word About Music Sources
Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source in order to function. Thereare two music sources available: SqueezeNetwork and SqueezeCenter.

For Windows XP and Vista

Double click on the wireless networking icon in the system tray.

SqueezeNetwork

SqueezeNetwork is a free, Internet-based service provided by Logitech. It allows you toconnect to a wide variety of services, including Internet radio guides and online music services, like Rhapsody, Sirius Internet Radio, and Pandora Radio. You can even store your own music collection in an online MP3tunes music locker so you can listen to your music when your computer is turned off. Please note that some music services may charge a separate fee for use; we provide free trials so you may try them first.

For Mac OS X

Click on the wireless networking icon on the menu bar and make note of which network has a check mark next to it. Note to Apple Airport Base Station users: Squeezebox Boom follows the 802.11 standard and expects the WEP key to be in hexadecimal format.The Airport Base Station uses ASCII characters for the WEP key. Youll need to find the hexadecimal version of your WEP key to configure your Squeezebox Duet. To do that, pleasefollow these steps: Open the Airport Admin Utility. On Mac OS X this utility can be found under Applications -> Utilities in the Finder. In Windows, it can be found in Start -> Programs -> Airport Admin Utility. Select your base station and click the Configure button. Once the Configuration window is open, click the Password icon at the top ofthe window (the icon resembling a padlock). This will show you the key in HEX format. Write that down as the Security Key on the previous page. Note: 64-bit WEP keys on the Airport Base Station will have exactly 5 characters; 128-bit keys will have exactly 13 characters.

SqueezeCenter (Optional)

SqueezeCenter is an application you run on a computer connected to your local network to deliver your personal music collection to the Squeezebox players in your home. You can also connect to Internet radio guides and online music services via SqueezeCenter. If you are not interested in listening to your personal music collection, or if you are planning to upload your music to an MP3tunes music locker, you do not need SqueezeCenter.

Select A Music Source

Once your Squeezebox Boom has successfully connected to your network, you will see a menu asking you to select your music source. Select SqueezeNetwork, the free, Internet-based service operated by Logitech. Whenyou connect to SqueezeNetwork, your Squeezebox Boom displays a unique code that you can use to link your Boom to your SqueezeNetwork account. Gotowww.squeezenetwork.com, select Players, and then enter the code in theAddA Player section of the page.
Optional: Connect To SqueezeCenter
If youd like to listen to your personal music collection stored on your computer andyouve successfully downloaded and installed SqueezeCenter, take these steps toconnect to SqueezeCenter for the first time: 1. Press and hold back on the front panel (or left on the remote control) togoto the setup screen. 2. Scroll until you see an option to connect to your computer (for example, Connect to john-smiths-computer) 3. Press the navigation wheel (or press right on the remote control) to connect to your computer. If your computers name does not appear on this menu, or if Squeezebox Boom isunable to connect, see Appendix E: Troubleshooting.

Play Some Music

Youre almost done! Playing an Internet radio station is a good way to check that everything is working correctly. 1. Go to the Home Screen by pressing home on the remote control. 2. Press down on the remote control (or spin the navigation wheel to theright) until Internet Radio appears, and then press right on the remote (orpressthe wheel). 3. Select Staff Picks. 4. Select Best of Internet Radio. 5. Scroll to Slim Showcase: Miles Davis and press play. 6. Adjust the volume. 7. If you would like to add this station to your presets, press and hold one of thepreset buttons. TIP: Although there are six Preset buttons for quickly finding six of your favorite tracks, albums, or Internet radio stations, there is no limit to the number of favorites you can save. Assigning an item to one of the Preset buttons automatically adds it to your Favorites, as well. To add an item to your favorites without assigning it to a Preset button, click the wheel or press right on the remote, and then select Add to favorites.
Using Your Squeezebox Boom

Now Playing

Squeezebox Boom always maintains the current playlist in its memory. This playlist is called Now Playing and you can modify it by adding tracks from your music collection, tracks and playlists from music services, or even from playlists youve saved. Learning how to effectively manage the Now Playing list is a key step to enjoying yourSqueezebox Boom.
Clearing The Now Playing List
Selecting a track, album, genre, or playlist from your music collection or from an online music service and pressing play will clear the Now Playing list and replace it with the selected item. TIP: if youre entertaining and you hand the remote control to a guest and invite them to select a song, its important to show them how to use the add button to add their song to Now Playing. If they hit play instead of add, it will replace your list with their song. If you have repeat mode enabled, it will continue to play that song until all of your guests leave in dismay. Thats also why its important to save your Now Playing list as a playlist on your computer before your guests arrive, soifyour lovingly crafted music set is accidentally erased by a guest, you can restore it easily by selecting Music Library > Playlists from the Home Screen.

Squeezebox Boom has six Preset buttons below the display. You can think of these as a miniature list of six favorites that you can recall instantly at any time. Adding an item to a Preset will also add it to your Favorites, if its not already in there.

With SqueezeNetwork

To add a radio station to your list of favorites on SqueezeNetwork, go to www.squeezenetwork.com, click Favorites, select a name for the stream and enter theURL. To add a radio station to your list of favorites on SqueezeCenter: 1. Launch the SqueezeCenter web interface. 2. Select the Internet Radio menu, and then select Tune In URL. 3. Enter the URL and click +.
Setting and Using the Preset buttons
If youve used a car radio, then youre already familiar with how the Preset buttons work. Just press and hold one of the six Preset buttons to assign the currently selected item. To recall that item, tap the Preset button. As with Favorites, a Preset can be atrack, an album, a radio station, or a playlist.
Managing your Favorites using SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter
If you would like to add or remove a lot of favorites at once, you may find it easier to do so from your computer. Go to www.squeezenetwork.com, sign in to your account, and then select Favorites. If youre running SqueezeCenter on a local computer, you may use it to manage your favorites. Highlight the Favorites menu item and select the edit (pencil) icon. TIP: if your Squeezebox Boom is connected to SqueezeNetwork, adding a Preset or Favorite stores the item in your SqueezeNetwork account. If your Boom is connected to SqueezeCenter, adding a Preset or Favorite saves the item in SqueezeCenter. SqueezeNetwork and SqueezeCenter each maintain independent lists of Favorites and Presets.

Squeezebox Booms Alarm

Squeezebox Boom has a sophisticated alarm system. You can set multiple alarms perday, and set alarms at different times on any day of the week. You can choose tobe woken by an item in your favorites, or by Squeezebox Booms built-in collection of music and sound effects. A built-in backup helps keep your alarm settings intact for up to two weeks if yourBoom is unplugged. If youve selected an online source for your alarm (such as your favorite Internet radio station) and your Boom loses its connection to the Internet for any reason, your Boom will automatically substitute a pleasing (but effective) alarm tone to help ensure that you wake up on time.
Adding a favorite radio station thats not in one of the guides
The radio station guides offered via SqueezeNetwork and the Squeezebox Boom menu (RadioIO, RadioTime, Live365, and ShoutCast) make it easy to browse thousands of radio stations and add them to your favorites or presets. If your favorite online station isnt available via one of these guides, its easy to use SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork to add it if you know the URL for the stream.

Display Brightness

Squeezebox Boom has a built-in light sensor that allows it to adjust the brightness of the display to match lighting conditions. However, you may override this by selecting Settings > Display > Brightness from the Home Screen. From the Brightness menu, you can select your desired brightness when Boom is playing a track, stopped, or off. For each item you can choose automatic brightness adjustment, or manually select the brightness.
22 Youll probably find that you dont need to change music sources very often. Therearea couple of scenarios where you might:

Last.fm Audioscrobbler

If you use Last.fm (available on the web at last.fm), you might already be familiar with Last.fms audioscrobbler, which keeps track of what you play on your computer and updates your Last.fm account. You can configure your Squeezebox Boom to scrobble, as well: 1. Create a free Last.fm account (if you dont already have one) by visiting www.last.fm. 2. Sign in to SqueezeNetwork (www.squeezenetwork.com), click Accounts, and then select the Last.fm tab. 3. Enter your Last.fm username and password. 4. Enable scrobbling for your Squeezebox Boom. Once you have set up your SqueezeNetwork account for Last.fm scrobbling, you can change your scrobbling settings via your Squeezebox Boom by selecting Settings > Last.fm Audioscrobbling from the Home Screen.
If you normally connect to SqueezeCenter running on a computer, but the computer is turned off or otherwise unavailable. In this case, youll need to switch to SqueezeNetwork in order to use your Squeezebox Boom. If you have multiple computers or NAS drives on your network, each with its own unique music collection, you may want to hop from computer to computer depending on what you want to hear. To select a music source, choose Settings > Music Source from the Home Screen. Youll see a menu that includes SqueezeNetwork (if youre not already connected to SqueezeNetwork) and all the computers on your local network that are running SquezeCenter. Each will be identified by the computers name (for example, JohnSmiths-Computer). If youve downloaded and installed SqueezeCenter but you cannot find your computer on this menu, see Appendix E: Troubleshooting. As mentioned earlier in this guide, downloading and installing SqueezeCenter is optional. If you listen to music exclusively from online sources, or if youve uploaded your personal music collection to an MP3tunes music locker, then you do not need torun SqueezeCenter on your computer.
Connecting MP3 Players And Other Line-Level Devices
Squeezebox Booms rear panel contains a 3.5mm stereo input jack for connecting MP3 players, CD players, or just about any device with line level or headphone output. To select the line input when connected to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork, justconnect your device using the included 3.5mm stereo cable, hit play on yourdevice, and adjust the volume accordingly. If your Squeezebox Boom is not connected to SqueezeCenter or SqueezeNetwork: 1. Connect your device using the included 3.5mm stereo cable 2. Select Line In from the Home Screen

If You Need To Return Your Squeezebox Boom.
If for any reason you feel you need to return a product, either for refund or repairs, you must contact Logitech Technical Support first and obtain an RMA number. Pleasesee the contact information above. Packages sent to our office without an RMA number will be returned.
Appendix E: Troubleshooting
When setting up networking, my network does notappear
Squeezebox Boom finds all wireless networks in range and displays them by theirnetwork name (also known as their SSID). The first step is to make sure that your network is operating correctly and that youre within range and free from potential sources of interference. If you suspect that other networks are preventing devices from reliably connecting to your network, you can try changing the channel upon which your wireless router operates. For assistance with this and other router configuration options, see your routers documentation or contact your routers vendor for support. If your networks name still does not appear, your wireless router might be configured to not broadcast its SSID. If this is intentional (e.g., for security purposes), youcanenter your networks SSID manually. Scroll to the bottom of the list of available networks and select Enter another network. NOTE: SSIDs are case-sensitive. If youve named your network MyNetwork, entering mynetwork or another variantion into your Squeezebox Boom willnotwork.
If your wireless router uses a common network name (SSID) like NETGEAR or LINKSYS, there may be more than one wireless network in range that has the same name as yours. Your Squeezebox Boom might be attempting toconnect to the wrong network. Consider changing your networks SSID tosomething thats uniquely identifiable. Check whether your wireless router is using MAC filtering. MAC filtering provides an extra level of security by ensuring that no unknown computers or other devices can connect to your wireless network without prior authorization. If you cannot turn off MAC filtering, you (or your local network expert) can add Squeezebox Booms MAC address to the routers table of allowed devices. You can find your Squeezebox Booms MAC address printed on a label on the bottom of the unit.

If Squeezebox Boom cannot locate your computer orconnect to SqueezeCenter
During normal operation if SqueezeCenter is running on a computer thats connected to your wireless network, your computers name will be displayed when you select Settings > Information > SqueezeCenter information from Squeezebox Booms Home Screen. If this does not happen, it might be because of the following: 1. SqueezeCenter isnt running. If you have not yet downloaded and installed SqueezeCenter, visit www.slimdevices.com to begin. To check SqueezeCenters status on Windows, hover your mouse pointer over the SqueezeCenter icon at the bottom right of the display, neartheclock. If SqueezeCenter Running doesnt float, right-click theicon and select Start SqueezeCenter. To check SqueezeCenters status on MAC OS X, launch System Preferences, and then click on SqueezeCenter. If SqueezeCenter is running, youll see a button labeled Stop Server. If the button displays Start Server, click it to launch. 2. A firewall may be preventing Squeezebox Boom from communicating withyour computer. See Appendix B, Configuring Your Firewall. 3. Your computer and Squeezebox Boom may not be on the same networksegment.
If your network name appears, buttheSqueezeboxBoom cannot connect
This can have a number of causes. Here are some things to try: Confirm that your wireless network is operating properly by trying to connect with your network using another device, like a computer. If no devices can connect, check your cable connections and verify that your wireless router (and modem, if applicable) are responsive. Cycling the power for the router and modem is often helpful. For detailed troubleshooting, see your wireless routers documentation, or contact your routers vendor for assistance. Confirm that youve entered your networks security key correctly and that youve selected the correct network security type. NOTE: Squeezebox Boom follows the 802.11 standard and uses hexadecimal keys for WEP encryption. 64-bit and 128-bit WEP keys are 10 characters and 26characters, respectively. If the key youve entered into Squeezebox Boom is only five or 13 characters long, then you have an ASCII encryption key, which must be converted to hexadecimal. There are several web sites that offer free tools for converting ASCII WEP keys to hexadecimal.

Both must be on the same network segment in order for SqueezeCenter to be recognized by your Squeezebox Boom. If you are using a large wireless network with multiple wireess routers or access points, there is a chance that your computer and your Squeezebox Boom are connecting to different segments. You can confirm this byverifying the IP addresses assigned to the computer and Squeezebox Boom. To check the IP address of the computer running SqueezeCenter, open SqueezeCenters web interface, click Settings, and then the Status tab. The IP address will be listed under the SqueezeCenter Information section. To check the IP address of the Squeezebox Boom, go to Settings > Information > Player Information from Squeezebox Booms Home Screen. Scroll through the Player Information screen until you see the IP address. An IP address is four sets of numbers. Two IP addresses are on the same segment ifthe first three sets of numbers match. For example, these addresses are on the same segment: 192.168.1.110 and 192.168.1.114 But these two are not; notice that the third set of numbers do not match: 192.168.1.110 and 192.168.16.103 If Squeezebox Boom and your computer are not on the same network segment, youwill need to configure your wireless network so that both are on the same segment and connect to the same DHCP server for their IP addresses. You may need to consult the party that installed or maintains your network for assistance.
My music sound choppy, distorted, or skips
There may be excessive interference in your wireless connection, or the wireless signal may otherwise be too weak. Try moving your Squeezebox Boom closer to the wireless router, or removing sources of potential interference. You can also try connecting your Squeezebox Boom directly to the router using an ethernet cable; if this resolves the problem, then its most likely due to wireless network signal strength or interference.
If Squeezebox Boom fails to get an IP address
The most common way of setting up a wireless network is to have the wireless router issue IP addresses on demand using a DHCP service. If your Squeezebox Boom displays a message stating that it cannot get an IP address, try these steps: Check your wireless routers configuration to confirm that its assigning IP addresses via DHCP. If your wireless router does not use DHCP for security purposes, you can assign your Squeezebox Boom a static address. Forassistance with this advanced network setup, caontact your wireless routers vendor or the party who installed your wireless network. If your network uses WEP encryption, make sure youve correctly entered the network security key into Squeezebox Boom. In some cases, an incorrect WEP security key can appear as a DHCP failure. Cycle your wireless routers power.

How do I use a static IP with Squeezebox Boom?
If you have set up your network to use static IP addresses, your Squeezebox Boom will display the message Address Problem There was a problem obtaining a DHCP address on your network. Scroll down to Use a static address and press the navigation wheel. On the following screens you can enter the IP address, subnet mask, gatewayaddress, and DNS server address information for your network.

No music will play

Make sure your music is not DRM protected. SqueezeCenter and Squeezebox cannot play DRM protected music. If your music was purchased from the iTunes Store, it may contain DRM. Only iTunes Plus tracks do not contain DRM. Other online music stores may apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If youre not sure, contact the music store for clarification. Make sure you have any firewalls on your system correctly configured to allow communication between your server and player. Please see Appendix B: Configuring Your Firewall. Check the file format and be sure its one of the supported types. See Appendix C: Supported File Formats for more information.
The FORWARD and REWIND buttons do not work withsome songs in my music library
Seeking through a song (holding fwd or rew) only works with certain formats: MP3, Ogg, FLAC, WAV and AIFF files stored in your SqueezeCenter musiclibrary MP3 and WMA files from online services (if the service supports scanning through songs)
Some of my track names are missing or incorrect
If you know that your songs all have valid tags or that your album art images arefine, you may want to have SqueezeCenter rescan your music collection by doing thefollowing: 1. Open SqueezeCenter and go to Settings > Basic Settings. 2. Verify that the Music Folder points to the music folder on your computer. Ifits not, enter the correct path and click Apply. 3. Scroll down to Rescan Music Library and select Clear library and rescan everything in the drop-down box, then click the Rescan button. SqueezeCenter will scan your music and rebuild the database it uses to display the information about your collection, including album art. If you are still experiencing problems, you should delete the cached files SqueezeCenter uses to improve performance and then perform a rescan. To delete the cache, do the following: 1. Stop SqueezeCenter On Windows, right-click on the SqueezeCenter icon and click Stop SqueezeCenter On Mac OS X, open System Preferences > SqueezeCenter and click on Stop Server 2. Remove the Cache folder used by SqueezeCenter On Windows XP, the default location for the cache folder is: C:\ Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SqueezeCenter\ Cache On Windows Vista, the default location for the cache folder is: C:\ ProgramData\SqueezeCenter\Cache On Mac OS X, the default location for the cache folder is: Home > Library> Application Support > SqueezeCenter 3. Restart SqueezeCenter. The scanning process will begin as soon as theserverstarts.

SqueezeCenter cant find all of my music
Make sure that all of your digital music files are in one place on your computer. Youcan store all of your files in a single folder, or create subfolders to help organize your music. The software you use to rip your CDs to digital files, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, may already do this. SqueezeCenter, the software that runs on your computer and delivers your personal digital music collection to your Squeezebox Boom, will scan one folder (and all sub-folders) for your music. If you have music stored in multiple folders, or on different computers, you will have to create shortcuts in the primary music folder so SqueezeCenter can find the other music. To manually rescan your music collection using SqueezeCenter, click the Basic Settings tab and then click Rescan. To set up SqueezeCenter to automatically rescan your music library periodically, click the Advanced tab and then select Rescan Music Library from the pull-down menu on the left. To rescan your music library using Squeezebox Boom, make sure your Boom is connected to SqueezeCenter, then select Settings > Rescan Music Library. From the following menu you can start a rescan, as well as set up automatic rescanning.
I have installed SqueezeCenter to allow playing of music thats kept on my computer. However, some or all of my iTunes music library does not play
Apple does not allow streaming of music to which DRM has been applied. Mostmusic purchased from the iTunes Store (with the exception of tracks designated as iTunesPlus) have DRM applied, and cannot be played by Squeezebox Boom or similar devices. CDs which you have ripped, or music purchased in MP3 format from non-DRM music services (such as emusic, Rhapsody and Amazon MP3) arecompatible.
Appendix F: Using Boom As Part Of A WholeHome System

All-in-one players feature built-in amplifiers and speakers, so you can place them anywhere within range of your network without having to worry about connecting them to an audio system. Squeezebox Boom was our first all-in-one network music player, with Squeezebox Radio the second product in this line. 2. Players including the Squeezebox Touch, Squeezebox Classic, and Squeezebox Transporter, connect to an audio system. With these players, you can play your personal music library and Internet music on your Home stereo system. 3. Controllers operate any player on your network. In addition, Squeezebox Controller features a color screen and connects wirelessly to your network, rather than using infrared, so you can control your Squeezebox from anywhere in your house. Install any combination of players from the Squeezebox family in your Home. You can fill your house with Squeezebox Boom players, or have a Squeezebox Touch in the living room and a Squeezebox Boom in the bedroom, and more. If you love the musical experience your Squeezebox Touch brings you and youre ready to expand into a whole home music system, visit www.logitech.com to see the entire line of Squeezebox products.
Troubleshooting during setup
If you are having difficulty completing Squeezebox Touch setup, refer to the online help on your Squeezebox touchscreen and the Help section in the Squeezebox Touch Quick start guide. If your issue is not resolved, you will find more detailed information here.

For information about how to configure your router to work with your Squeezebox, see the appropriate Knowledge Base article at www.mysqueezebox.com> Support. Under Squeezebox Touch > Troubleshooting, search on your router model.

My network is not listed

Squeezebox Touch is designed to find all wireless networks in range and display them by their network name (also known as their SSID). If you cannot select your network during setup because it isnt listed under the Choose Network menu on your Squeezebox, try the following: Make sure that your Squeezebox is within range of your wireless network and free from potential sources of interference, such as cordless phones. As a test, move the Squeezebox closer to your router, reset it, and try connecting again. If you suspect that other wireless networks are preventing your Squeezebox from reliably connecting to your network, try changing the channel your wireless router is operating on. For assistance with this and other router configuration options, see your routers documentation or contact your router manufacturer or ISP for support. Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. Wait a few minutes and see if your network name now appears in the list. If your network name still does not appear, your router might be configured to not broadcast its SSID. In this case, enter your network name manually: a. Select the I dont see my Network option at the bottom of the list of networks. b. On the next screen select Enter my network name to enter it manually.
Note: Network names (SSIDs) are case-sensitive. For example, if youve named your network MyNetwork, the name mynetwork will not be accepted. Note: For information about accessing and changing your router settings, refer to your router manual and your router Settings page online, or contact your router manufacturer or ISP.
My network password was not accepted
If your wireless network password was not accepted: Try entering your password again. There could be a typo. If your network password is not accepted, it could be in ASCII format. (This only applies to WEP passwords that are either 5 or 13 characters in length.) If your password is in ASCII format, convert it to hexadecimal. Search for an ASCII-to-hex converter online, or use the converter at http://slimdevices.com/asciitohex.php.
Squeezebox Touch follows the 802.11 standard and uses hexadecimal keys for WEP encryption. WEP keys are 10 characters or 26 characters (for 64-bit and 128-bit encryption, respectively). If the password youve entered into Squeezebox Touch is only 5 or 13 characters long, then you have an ASCII encryption key, which must be converted to hexadecimal. For more information about reasons your password might not be accepted, see the next section, Network connection was not made.

A network connection was not made
After you enter your network password, if Squeezebox Touch cannot connect to your network, there could be a number of reasons. Please try the following: Confirm that you have entered the right network name and password. Check to see if there are multiple networks of the same name in the list on your Squeezebox. If your wireless network name is still set to the manufacturers default name, such as Linksys or Netgear, there might be multiple networks with that name in your neighborhood and Squeezebox Touch could be attempting to connect to the wrong network. If this is an issue, try connecting to another network or go to your routers settings page online, rename your network, and try the setup process again. Enter a static IP address.If you prefer to use a static IP address, make sure your DHCP server is off and, when Squeezebox Touch displays the appropriate screen, input a static IP address. By default, Squeezebox Touch relies on a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to provide the IP address during setup. If DHCP is disabled on your router, the Squeezebox will display an Address Problem screen during setup. From there, you can enter your IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS server address. For help with this, contact the person who set up your wireless network or your router vendor. Turn MAC filtering off. Check to see if your router is using MAC filtering. If it is, and you cannot turn the filtering off, add the Squeezebox Touch MAC addresses to the routers table of allowed devices. Find the MAC address of your Squeezebox printed on a label on the bottom of the unit. MAC filtering provides an extra level of security by ensuring that no unknown computers or other devices can connect to your wireless network without prior authorization. Check the distance between Squeezebox Touch and your wireless router. If possible, move the Squeezebox and the router closer together and try connecting again. Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in and wait for a few minutes. Then try your password again.
Note: For answers to common questions about routers, go to the Logitech Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com > Support. Under Troubleshooting, select your product, and search on your router brand name. Note: For information about accessing and changing your router settings, refer to your router manual and your router settings page online, or contact your ISP or router manufacturer. Note: To check the wireless strength to your Squeezebox: Go to Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics

Wireless Network

Problems connecting to mysqueezebox.com are often the result of DNS (Domain Name System) issues, which can be resolved with a router reset as follows: Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. You may also need to reset your router to its default configuration and start the router setup process from the beginning. See your router manual for instructions. Note: For answers to common questions about routers, go to the Logitech Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com > Support.

The music library on my computer is not listed at My Music
The first time you select the My Music option from the Home menu, you will have a choice of selecting one or more computers or devices that are running Squeezebox Server. Computers that are running Squeezebox Server will be listed as they have been named for your network. Often the name will be something similar to JOHN-SMITH-COMPUTER. Note: If you have named your music library in Squeezebox Server at Control Panel > Library, that is the name that will appear when you select My Music from the Home menu at your Squeezebox. Note: If you only have one local computer running Squeezebox Server, it will only appear the first time you select My Music. Thereafter, you will be taken directly from My Music to the Artist-Albums-Genres menu. If you want to play the music collection that is stored on your computer but your computer name/library name does not appear at My Music: Make sure that youve installed Squeezebox Server from www.mysqueezebox.com. Make sure Squeezebox Server is running. a. Windows: Click on the Squeezebox Server icon in the system tray. Select Open Control Panel. Mac: Go to System Preferences > Squeezebox Server > Advanced. b. In the Status field, if the status indicates that the server is not running, click Start Squeezebox Server. Reboot your computer. If you are using a third-party firewall, please see our Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com > Support. Under Troubleshooting, select your product and search for instructions related to your specific firewall. If your firewall is not covered by our Knowledge Base, add exceptions for three ports as follows: port 3483 UDP, port 3483 TCP, and port 9000 TCP. For information on how to make this change in your firewall software, search the internet for exceptions, ports, <your firewall application name>, or contact technical support for your firewall software. Confirm that Squeezebox Touch is connected to the same network that Squeezebox Server is connected to. If there are multiple networks available, the computer might be connected to one network (using an Ethernet or wireless connection), while Squeezebox Touch is set to connect to a different network. If your network uses multiple routers or Voice over IP (VOIP) or youre on a corporate network that has a complex or segmented network configuration, ensure that your computer and Squeezebox Touch are on the same network segment. This allows Squeezebox Touch to automatically connect to Squeezebox Server on your computer.
