Squeezebox Server is the server software (formerly known as SqueezeCenter or SlimServer) that powers audio players from Logitech.

For the released version of SqueezeboxServe, add a valid Ubuntu source repository as one of the following,

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
For the “stable main”: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main
For the “stable beta”: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com testing main
For the “unstable beta”: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com unstable main

(NOTE: At the time of writing the released package of Squeezebox Server is broken under Karmic. So I used the “stable beta” versions)

Installation
$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install squeezeboxserver
Squeezebox Server requires mysql-server and this will be installed automatically if it’s not installed already(already installed by LAMP in my case ).

Configuration

Once Squeezebox Server has finished installing you can launch Squeezebox Server by typing http://MyMediaServer:9000, where MyMediaServer is the name you gave your server when you installed Ubuntu. The IP address of your server will work equally well.

The first time you launch Squeezebox Server you’ll be asked a series of questions, where your music is stored etc.
Sart and stop Squeezebox Server

$ sudo service squeezeboxserver restart (start, stop)
