Using Squeezebox Radio as Part of a Whole-Home System
Squeezebox Radio is just one member of a growing family of Squeezebox Wi-fi music players. These products can be
divided into three categories:
1. 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 Duet, Squeezebox Classic, Squeezebox Touch, and Squeezebox Transporter,
connect to an audio system. With these players, you can add network music to a home stereo system.
3. Controllers operate any player on your network. For example, Squeezebox Controller features a color screen
that’s great for displaying album art. Squeezebox Controller connects wirelessly to your network, rather than using
infrared, so you can control your Squeezebox Radio from anywhere in your house.
You can have any combination of players from the Squeezebox family in your home. You can fill your house with
Squeezebox Booms, or have a Squeezebox Radio in the living room and a Squeezebox Boom in the bedroom, and more.

Each player operates independently of the others, so you can have different music playing in your garage, kitchen, bed
room, and living room. And, each player on your network can play a different music source. Or, you can synchronize them
so that they play the same music in every room of your house.
You only need one instance of Squeezebox Server to play your personal music collection on multiple Squeezeboxes.
Even a low-end computer can support more than a dozen Squeezeboxes.

Note: If your network is not secured or you have an Ethernet network, it does not have a password. To complete the setup
process, go to your Squeezebox and follow the on-screen instructions.
To get your network name if your computer is connected via Wi-Fi, go to your computer.
Windows - Click on the wireless network icon in your task bar.
Windows XP - Double-click on the network icon in your task bar.
Macintosh - Click once on the Wi-Fi icon at the top right of your screen.
Your network name will have a checkmark next to it.
If you don’t have your wireless network password:
Check to see if you have it written down somewhere .
Ask someone else in your home if they know it.
Contact the person who set up your home network.
Check your router manual.
Contact your router manufacturer or ISP for assistance.
For information about how to configure your router to work with your Squeezebox, see the appropriate Knowledge Base
My network is not listed
Squeezebox Radio 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 isn’t listed under the Choose Network menu on
your Squeezebox, try the following:
Make sure that Squeezebox Radio 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 the
Squeezebox 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 router’s documentation or contact your router manufacturer or ISP for support.
Unplug your router, wait 30 seconds, 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 don’t 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 you’ve 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.

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
Squeezebox Radio 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 you’ve entered into
Squeezebox Radio 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 not
made".
Network connection not made
After you enter your network password, if Squeezebox Radio cannot connect to your network, there could be a number of
causes. 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 manufacturer's default name, such as linksys or netgear, there might be multiple
networks with that name in your neighborhood and Squeezebox Radio could be attempting to connect to the
wrong network.
If this is an issue, try connecting to another network or go to your router’s settings page online, rename your
network, and try the setup process again.
Check to see if your router is using MAC filtering. If it is, and you cannot turn the filtering off, add Squeezebox
Radio’s MAC addresses to the router’s 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 Radio and your wireless router. Move the Squeezebox closer to the
wireless router 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.
By default, Squeezebox Radio relies on a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to provide the IP address
during setup. If you prefer to use a static IP address, the DHCP Server in your router must be disabled during the
Squeezebox Radio setup process. For help disabling the DHCP server in your router, please refer to your router
documentation or contact your router manufacturer.
If the wireless icon in the status bar is red instead of white, you have no internet connection. If it is blue, you have
no connection to Squeezebox Server.
Note: For answers to common questions about routers, go to the Logitech Knowledge Base at www.mysqueezebox.com
> Support. Under Troubleshooting 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.

Not connecting – Ethernet
If you are attempting to connect Squeezebox Touch to your network using an Ethernet cable and the connection is not
successful:
Check all your network connections, and make sure the DHCP server is enabled on your router.
Try using a different Ethernet cable, even if the switch or hub indicates a good link.
Make sure your router or access point has the latest software.
Can’t connect to mysqueezebox.com
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.

Troubleshooting after setup
Music is not playing
If you’ve tried to play music on your Squeezebox and there is no sound:
Use the Volume knob on Squeezebox Radio to check the volume setting.
If you are using Squeezebox Server and listening to music from your computer, add exceptions to your firewall
software:
a. Make sure there are no firewall warnings on your screen.
b. Make sure your firewall has the proper exceptions. Required exceptions include: port 3483 UDP, port 3483
TCP, and port 9000 TCP.
As a test, try playing a different song or radio station.
If you are still not getting any sound from your Squeezebox, restore your Squeezebox to factory settings, begin
the setup process again and see if the problem is resolved.
If the problem is not resolved, contact Logitech Technical Support.
Sound is choppy, distorted, or skips
If your music quality is sub-standard, there could be excessive interference in your wireless connection, or the wireless
signal might be too weak for some other reason. Try the following:
Move your Squeezebox closer to the wireless router, or remove sources of potential interference, such as
cordless phones.
You can also try connecting your Squeezebox directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. If this solves the
problem, then it is most likely being caused by weak wireless network signal strength or network interference.
FORWARD and REWIND buttons don’t seek
If the Forward and Rewind buttons are not working as you expect, it is likely that this is due to the format of the song you
are playing. Seeking through a song by holding FWD or REW works with the following formats:
MP3
FLAC
WMA standard
WAV
AIFF
OGG
AAC / M4A
Apple Lossless
My computer or music library is not listed at My Music
Normally, when you select the My Music option from the home menu, you will have a choice of selecting one or more
computers 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 > Music 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-Genre menu.
If you want to play the music collection that is stored on your computer but your computer name does not appear at
My Music:

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 Radio 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 Radio is set to connect to a different network.
If your network uses multiple routers or Voice over IP (VOIP) or you’re on a corporate network that has a complex
or segmented network configuration, ensure that your computer and Squeezebox Radio are on the same network
segment. This allows Squeezebox Radio to automatically connect to Squeezebox Server on your computer.

Can’t play my personal music collection
If you can’t connect to your music from your Squeezebox, it could mean that Squeezebox Radio cannot locate your
computer. Check the following items for the cause of this problem:
Make sure Squeezebox Server is installed and running.
Determine whether your firewall is causing an issue.
Make sure your network environment is not causing an issue with subnets or network segments. Issues can occur
if:
o
o
Two routers on your networks are serving different IP schemas
You have a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) and are serving different subnets for Wired and Wireless
connections
o
You are connecting Squeezebox Radio to a network other than yours
During normal operation, if Squeezebox Server is running on a computer that’s part of your wireless network, your
computer’s name will be displayed in the My Music menu on Squeezebox Radio.
Note: If you have named your music library in Squeezebox Server at Control Panel > Music Library, that is the name
that will appear when you select My Music from the home menu at your Squeezebox.
If you’ve successfully completed the setup and your music collection won’t play on Squeezebox Radio, the issue could be
the file format of the music.
Is Squeezebox Server running?
To allow your Squeezebox to locate and connect to your computer, make sure that Squeezebox Server is running on your
computer.

Consult a network professional if you are unsure of how to configure your network properly.
Supported formats
If the music that you have stored on your computer will not play using Squeezebox Radio:
Make sure your music is not DRM (digital rights management) protected. If your music was purchased from the
iTunes Store before 2009, it may contain DRM encoded files. If this is the case, Apple will remove DRM from
tunes for a fee. “iTunes Plus” tracks and iTunes songs purchased in 2009 or after are not DRM protected.
Make sure Squeezebox Server is running and that you have any firewalls on your system correctly configured to
allow communication between your computer and the Squeezebox.

To find the file format of your music:
1. Highlight the tune you want to hear.
2. Instead of playing the tune, press the More (+) button.
Squeezebox Radio cannot play music that has been purchased from iTunes that is also DRM (digital rights management)
protected. You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:
You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, which are unencrypted and do not have DRM protection.
or
You purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after. As of 2009, Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at
iTunes.
or
You pay a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes that you purchased from iTunes before 2009.
Squeezebox Radio recognizes playlists saved by a variety of music applications, including iTunes and Windows Media
Player. Supported playlist formats include: PLS files, M3U files (WinAMP) and WPL files (Windows Playlist).
My iTunes music isn’t playing
Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip CDs, and create and manage playlists. It
also connects to the iTunes Store, where Apple offers music, videos and podcasts for purchase. Much of the music
purchased from the iTunes store before 2009 is protected by Apple’s DRM software.
Look for Apple’s DRM (Digital Rights Management)
If your iTunes music is not playing on your Squeezebox, it is probably protected by Apple’s proprietary Digital Rights
Management (DRM) software. Other online music stores also apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If you’re not sure if your
music is protected by DRM, contact your online music store.
You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:
You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, which are unencrypted and do not have DRM (digital rights management)
protection.
or
You purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after. As of 2009, Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at
iTunes.
or
You pay a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes that you purchased from iTunes before 2009.

Squeezebox Radio and your computer.
Also, check the file format of the music to be sure it’s one of the supported types.
If you’re still experiencing problems using iTunes after trying the steps listed above, please contact Logitech Technical
Support for assistance.
Squeezebox Radio can’t find all of my personal music
After you download and install Squeezebox Server, it will scan your computer for music. An index of your music will be
added to the Squeezebox Music Library.
Make sure you have one music folder
If all of the music that you store on your computer does not show up from the Squeezebox My Music menu, make sure
that your music files are all in one place on your computer. You can store all of your files in a single folder, create
subfolders to help organize your music, or add shortcuts to files that are in other folders. The software you use to “rip”
your CDs to digital files, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, may already do this.
Check Tagging
If you don't see your music listed as you expect when you go to My Music > Artists, Albums, it could be that it is not
tagged correctly. In this case, Squeezebox Server has successfully read all of your music but it is not listed as expected
because music tags are not set correctly or are absent entirely.
One way to confirm that incorrect tags are the issue:
From the home menu, go to My Music > Albums.
See if your albums are not catalogued correctly, or if there is a listing for "No Album". This is the category that
Squeezebox Server uses when it cannot find correct tags by which to categorize an album.
There are a number of free and fee tag editors. If your tag editor can clean out the tags entirely and re-create them, this
will frequently fix the issue.
Rescan your music folder
If Squeezebox Radio is not finding all of your music, try rescanning the music folder on your computer.
To manually rescan your music collection:
1. Windows: Click on the Squeezebox Server icon in the system tray. Select Open Control Panel.
Mac: Go to System Preferences and select Squeezebox Server.
2. In the Server Status tab, click Rescan.
This feature is also useful if you make frequent changes to your music collection.
