An Important Word About Music Sources
Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source in order to
function. There are two music sources available: SqueezeNetwork™ and
SqueezeCenter™.
SqueezeNetwork
SqueezeNetwork is a free, Internet-based service provided by Logitech. It
allows you to connect 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 fi rst.
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.
Set Up a SqueezeNetwork Account

Squeezebox Boom setup process. To sign up, visit www.squeezenetwork.com

Boom to your account can be found later in this guide.
