Squeezebox Radio cannot play music that has been purchased from iTunes that is also DRM (digital rights management)
protected. You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:

You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, which are unencrypted and do not have DRM protection.
or

You purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after. As of 2009, Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at
iTunes.
or

You pay a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes that you purchased from iTunes before 2009.

Squeezebox Radio recognizes playlists saved by a variety of music applications, including iTunes and Windows Media
Player. Supported playlist formats include: PLS files, M3U files (WinAMP) and WPL files (Windows Playlist).

My iTunes music isn’t playing

Apple’s iTunes is a music manager that helps you organize your collection, rip CDs, and create and manage playlists. It
also connects to the iTunes Store, where Apple offers music, videos and podcasts for purchase. Much of the music
purchased from the iTunes store before 2009 is protected by Apple’s DRM software.

Look for Apple’s DRM (Digital Rights Management)

If your iTunes music is not playing on your Squeezebox, it is probably protected by Apple’s proprietary Digital Rights
Management (DRM) software. Other online music stores also apply DRM to downloaded tracks. If you’re not sure if your
music is protected by DRM, contact your online music store.

You can play tunes purchased from iTunes if:

You purchased “iTunes Plus” tunes, which are unencrypted and do not have DRM (digital rights management)
protection.
or

You purchased your iTunes in 2009 or after. As of 2009, Apple removed DRM protection from the songs sold at
iTunes.
or

You pay a fee to have Apple remove DRM from tunes that you purchased from iTunes before 2009.

Radio to use your iTunes library:

1.

Windows: Click on the Squeezebox Server icon in the system tray. Select Open Control Panel.
Mac: Go to System Preferences and select Squeezebox Server.

checked. If not, set it and click “Apply.”

Select the Basic Settings tab.

5.

Make sure Music Folder box is blank and click “Apply.”

6.

On the same page, go to Rescan Music Library, select “Clear library and rescan everything”, and then click
“Rescan” to start the scanning process.

Check to see if your music is now accessible at your Squeezebox.

your music folder:

Windows: Click on the Squeezebox Server icon in the system tray. Select Open Control Panel.
