VERVIEW AND
UPPORTED
The Squeezebox Classic is a network music player that connects to the network and provides local audio
outputs for digital music. The Squeezebox Classic supports digital music from both internet sources and
local media. When integrated with the current version of the g! software, the Squeezebox Classic is used
as an extension of the Internal Player and can stream from the same local music library as the Internal
Player. In addition, the Squeezebox Classic supports Pandora or Rhapsody Internet Radio via
Squeezenet.
IMPORTANT! This document covers the Squeezebox "Classic" model 2/3. Slim Devices (now
Logitech) has released multiple iterations of the Squeezebox, which can be identified by checking
the "Model:" number on the bottom of the device. If it says Logitech as opposed to Slim Devices,
it is a Squeezebox 2/3.
If you are working with a Squeezebox Touch, please see the Squeezebox Touch Integration Note.
This Integration Note does not apply to Logitech Media Server integration.

  • Page 4: Important Notes

    QUEEZEBOX ONFIGURATION IMPORTANT NOTES: The Squeezebox is configured using its display based menu system and its remote control. ELAN strongly recommends using the hard-wired Ethernet connection to the Squeezebox instead of a wireless connection. Only configure one Squeezebox at a time. If you have multiple Squeezebox’s in an installation, disconnect power to all but one, then configure that one.
  • Page 5 ANDORA HAPSODY ONFIGURATION To setup Pandora or Rhapsody Internet Radio, you must first configure a Squeezebox account at http://mysqueezebox.com (formerly http://squeezenetwork.com) and associate the Pandora and/or Rhapsody service with the account. Rhapsody is a paid service, and may use existing credentials or requires the creation of a new account.
  • Page 6 ANDORA HAPSODY INTEGRATION VIA QUEEZENET OTES The following issues have been observed when integrating Pandora via Squeezenet: • Skipping multiple tracks on a Pandora station can result in inconsistent station access and playback • Adding music to a Pandora station then selecting “More Results…” does not function as expected however the behavior in g! is consistent with the behavior of the squeezebox standalone operation.
