Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Squeezebox network music player. This Owner's Manual includes setup and basic operating instructions for your new player. Since we're continually adding new software features, some of the more advanced capabilities of Squeezebox are not covered here. You can find additional information about the latest Squeezebox features, as well as detailed documentation for developers, on the Slim Devices web site, http://www. slimdevices. com/. [. . . ] At this point, you can either: · Press the RIGHT button to choose "Led Zeppelin. " Page 10 Squeezebox Owner's Guide · Press the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the artists. · Press the PLAY button to play all the Rock music by Led Zeppelin. (If there were some songs in your library by Led Zeppelin that weren't in the genre "Rock", those songs wouldn't be played. To play all songs by Led Zeppelin, you could browse by artist first and then press PLAY when Led Zeppelin was displayed. ) Note: If you want to scroll quickly, you can hold down the button. Rock/Led Zeppelin (1 of 6) Early Days & Latter Days -> In this example, the Squeezebox is displaying a selection that is two folders deep, so it displays "Rock/Led Zeppelin". You can press the UP or DOWN buttons on the remote control to scroll through the Led Zeppelin albums: Rock/Led Zeppelin (2 of 6) Houses Of The Holy -> Press the RIGHT button to select the Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy. Led Zeppelin/Houses Of The Holy (6 of 8) 06 D'yer Mak'er ! Squeezebox remembers the selection you were viewing the last time you browsed into this album, and opens the album on that selection. In this example, the Squeezebox automatically went back to song 6 on the album. Notice that instead of an arrow in the lower-right corner of the Squeezebox display (indicating that there are more choices available if you press the RIGHT button), there is a music note symbol (indicating that an album song is displayed). On the remote control, press the UP button a few times to choose song 3: Led Zeppelin/Houses Of The Holy (6 of 8) 03 Over The Hills And Far Away ! Now press the light blue PLAY button. Even as a song is playing, you can browse in other folders. Adding Items to the Current Playlist The Squeezebox maintains a current playlist at all times. You can add individual songs, entire albums, and even large folders of music files to the playlist. There are two ways to add an item to the playlist: · On the remote control, you can press the light blue PLAY button. This clears out the current queue and plays only the selected item(s). Squeezebox Owner's Guide Page 11 · You can press the ADD button to append the selected item(s) to the current playlist. Example: To create a playlist of all the songs by Sublime: · Start at the Squeezebox Home menu. · Scroll down to "Artists. " · Press the RIGHT button on the remote control. Artists (1 of 622) Abba -> Press the DOWN button until you get to "Sublime": Artists (611 of 622) Sublime -> Press the RIGHT button on the remote control to browse albums and songs by Sublime, or Press the light blue PLAY button to create a playlist of all the Sublime songs. To append all of the Sublime songs to the current queue, press the ADD button. The Squeezebox briefly displays: Adding to the end of playlist: Sublime The Squeezebox returns to browsing mode, and you can add more items to the playlist. HINT: You can use the number keys on the remote to jump into a list according to the letter on the button label, like entering text on a cell phone. Viewing and Editing the Playlist To access the current playlist, press the NOW PLAYING button at any time. Now playing (8 of 125) 01:37 21 Rivers Of Babylon ! This example shows that there are 125 items currently in the playlist, and the one playing at the moment is the eighth one, Rivers of Babylon. Pressing the UP and DOWN buttons scrolls through the items in the playlist, while pressing the ADD button removes an item already in the playlist. Press and hold the ADD button to remove the song from the current playlist; it will be placed in a saved playlist called Zapped Songs. This is useful if want to remove a certain song from the playlist and go back to it later. To exit the playlist view, press the LEFT button. Page 12 Squeezebox Owner's Guide Viewing Additional Information About a Song From either the playlist or the browser area, you can view additional information about a song by pressing the RIGHT button when the item is selected. In the Summer Time Title: In the Summer Time ! Press the UP or DOWN buttons to view additional information about the song: In the Summer Time Artist: Mungo Jerry In the Summer Time Bitrate: 128kbps CBR ! ! Keep pressing the remote control UP or DOWN buttons repeatedly until you see the artist name again, indicating that you have seen all available information for that song. Searching The Squeezebox player allows you to locate songs quickly in large collections. · Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select: · Search for albums · Search for artists · Search for songs · Press the RIGHT button to make your selection. The Squeezebox displays your choice--in this example, Search for songs: Search for songs A-> You can enter the text (or numbers) you are looking for in either of two ways: Method 1: Use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN buttons to enter letters or numbers. · · · · Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the character you want is displayed. [. . . ] (Be sure to type the "http://" part, as some versions of Internet Explorer require it when accessing a URL by IP address. ) The web interface is working, but the player isn't able to communicate with the server. Make sure that your ethernet hub or switch supports 10Mbps connections--most do. Also try a different cable. Page 18 Squeezebox Owner's Guide I'm still having problems getting the Squeezebox to communicate with SlimServer or using the web interface from other computers. If you are using firewall software, or the built-in firewall in Mac OS X or Windows XP, you'll need to disable or change its settings to allow communication to Squeezebox. You must allow for communication to ports 9000, 9090, and 3483 on both TCP and UDP. See the instructions for your firewall software for details on how to adjust these settings. I can't enter my wireless password. You'll need the hexadecimal WEP key for your wireless network. [. . . ]
