Squeezebox
 Owner’s Guide
Before You Begin
If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as a server, 
setting up Squeezebox
 and SlimServer
 takes just a few minutes—all you need to get 
your music playing through Squeezebox
 is in this owner’s guide. 
1.  First, collect your digitized music into one place on your computer. You can put all 
the fi les in a single directory, or create a series of subdirectories. The software you 
use to ‘rip’ your CDs, such as iTunes, may already do this and organize your music 
fi les by album or by artist. 
2.  Next, download the latest version of the SlimServer software to the same computer 
as your music collection. You can fi nd the latest version of SlimServer
