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 you’ve saved. Learning how to effectively manage the Now Playing
list is a key step to enjoying your Squeezebox Boom.

home

again.

Viewing Now Playing Using the Front Panel

Saving as a Playlist

Squeezebox Boom can save your Now Playing list to your computer’s hard
drive for later use. This feature can be particularly useful for entertaining –
one of the great things about Squeezebox Boom is that everybody wants to
play with it! Saving your playlist before the party starts allows you to restore
your playlist if one of your guests clears it or adds music you don’t like.

First, make sure your Squeezebox Boom is connected to SqueezeCenter.
Then, from the Home Screen, select Extras > Save Playlist. You can use the
arrow keys on the remote or the navigation wheel on the front panel to give
your playlist a unique name.
