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'.
