Are you going to run the squeeze server on the pc or on the synology? If
you are going to run it on the synology you go to the synology site and
poke around. You should find it under 3rd party or similar. I have a
synology DS207+ and I loaded the server software on that at first. I
can tell you that it will not be very speedy. 

Next I installed the squeezebox server software on my pc and it is so
much faster and responsive it is unbelievable. I have my server
software running on my windows 7 machine and I have enough hard drives
in that computer that I just put all my music on one of the computers
hard drives. An internal harddrive is much faster than a synology drive
running across the network. It is very very noticable how much faster it
is. Whenever I would do a delete everything and rescan my music on the
Synology it would take forever to get everything reindexed. When I do
it on a local drive on my computer it does a complete rescan, index,
album art refresh, etc. in about 7 minutes and I have a lot of music
and a lot of it is Hi Res music (files are much larger than standard CD
quality files).

I do however use NTI to run a backup of my music every night to the
synology.
