Check additional items
If your iTunes music is still not playing, additional items to check are as follows:
Make sure you that have
any
firewalls on your
computer
correctly configured to allow communication between
Sque
ezebox Radio and your computer
.
Also, check
the file format
of the music to
be sure it’s one of the supported types.
If you’re still experiencing problems using iTunes after trying the steps listed above, please contact Logitech Technical
Support for assi
stance.
Squeezebox Radio can’t find all of
my personal music
After you download and install
Squeezebox Server
, it will scan your computer for music. An index of your music will be
added to the Squeezebox Music Library.
Make sure you have one music folder
If all of the music that you store on your computer does not show up from the
Squeezebox
My Music
menu, make sure
that your music files are all in one place on your computer.
You can store all of your files in
a
single folder, create
subfolders to help or
ganize your music
, or add shortcuts to files that are in other folders.
The software you use to “rip”
your CDs to digital files, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player, may already do this.
Check Tagging
If you don't see your music listed as you expect whe
n you g
o to
My Music >
Artists, Albums
,
it could be that it is not
tagged correctly. In this case,
Squeezebox Server has successfully read
all of your music
but it is not listed as expected
because
music tags are not set correctly or are absent entirely.
One way to confirm that incorrect tags are the issue
:
From the home menu, go to
My Music > Albums
.
See if your albums are not catalogued correctly, or if there is a listing for "No Album". This is the category that
Squeezebox Server uses when it cannot fi
nd correct tags by which to categorize an album.
There are a number of free and fee tag editors. If your tag editor can clean out the tags entirely and re
-
create them, this
will frequently fix the issue.
Rescan your music folder
If Squeezebox Radio is not
finding all of your music, try rescanning the music folder on your computer.
To manually rescan your music collection:
1.
Windows: Click on the Squeezebox
Server icon in the system tray. Select
Open Control Pa
nel
.
Mac: Go to
System Preferences
and select
Sq
ueezebox Server
.
2.
In the
Server Status
tab
, click
Rescan
.
This feature is also useful if you make frequent changes to your music collection.
