The Squeezebox always needs a server of some description to stream music
to it. Squeezenetwork is an internet hosted service by Slimdevices and
is a server which, among other things, acts as a gateway for other
public music streaming services, some free, some not. See Rhapsody.com
as an example of this.
You will need your own server (your home PC will probably do if it has
enough spare hard disk space and above minimum specifications) if you
wish to listen to your own music. You will need to copy your Music to
the hard disk from CD using a 'ripping' program, and install the server
software (currently called Slimserver - free download) from Slim
Devices. There's plenty of good documentation on how to do this, and
it's a good idea to install Slimserver first and familiarise yourself
with it while waiting for your Squeezebox to arrive....You'll find
plenty of help here as well if you run into difficulties or want to do
something which isn't 'out of the box'.
