Selecting and Changing Music Sources

Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source to operate. There are two
types of music sources:
SqueezeNetwork (a free online service operated by Logitech)
A computer or NAS (network attached storage) drive running SqueezeCenter
Your music source (SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter) is your gateway to a wide
selection of content, including music services like Pandora and Last.fm, as well as
Internet radio stations, Podcasts, and more.
Which Music Source To Choose?
If you'll be listening to Internet radio stations or online music services, you can reach
them through either SqueezeNetwork or SqueezeCenter.
If you opt to install and run SqueezeCenter on a computer on your network, you have
a few more options:
You can listen to your personal music collection stored on your computer.
You can save playlists to your computer.
If you have a collection of music on a local computer that you haven't stored in an
MP3tunes music locker, and you'd like the ability to instantly bounce between listening
to your personal music library and external sources like Internet radio stations, then
you will want to take the time to install SqueezeCenter on any computers on your
network that contain music that you'd like to hear. One limitation of connecting to
SqueezeCenter is that the computer running SqueezeCenter must be turned on.
If you'll only be listening to Internet radio and online services, or if you've uploaded
your personal music collection to an MP3tunes music locker, then you can connect
to SqueezeNetwork. The advantage of using SqueezeNetwork as your music source
is that you don't have to make sure your computer is on each time you use your
Squeezebox Boom.
