Before You Begin

If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as a server,
setting up Squeezebox ™
your music playing through Squeezebox
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
http://www.slimdevices.com/download
and SlimServer ™ takes just a few minutes—all you need to get

is in this owner's guide.
