SqueezePlay on the Joggler

The Joggler makes an excellent UI for the HomeAutomationHub. However the xapFlash application isn't the only worthwhile Joggler app.

I'd been meaning to sort out my digital music collection for a while and recently purchased an HP Microserver to host all the files. Having pulled these into one place, the next thing to think about was howto play the music. A while back, I looked at the Logitech SqueezeServer - a software indexer and media content server. This is freely available (Logitech no longer manufacture 'player' devices) and seems to have a decent range of third-party players.

In particular, there is a port of the Logitech SqueezePlay available for the Joggler. SqueezePlay is designed to work with a 'server' component which indexes your media.The folks at BirdsLikeWires have done a lot of work on this. The install is straightforward - good instructions on this at the above link. Once installed, you have a new icon on the Joggler desktop. Next thing to do is to create yourself an account at mysqueezebox.com - this allows online management of all of your players. Then, on the Joggler, enter the details of your new account via the Settings/Registration and Settings/mysqueezebox page.
