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
Squeezebox 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 assistance.

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 organize 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 when you go 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 find 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 Panel.
Mac: Go to System Preferences and select Squeezebox Server.

2.

In the Server Status tab, click Rescan.

This feature is also useful if you make frequent changes to your music collection.
